I think they'll try to let him settle in at one position, especially because TE has such a hard transition into the league. No point in adding even more to the kid's plate. And Watt is a great special teams player to boot. I look at Watt as a special teams ace who can give FB snaps, and I do know that's the way the team looks at him and Nix before him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have a few quibbles: Hence the 1.0. I will do another as training camp and preseason get underway because without any practices or training camp this is strictly speculative. Dobbs vs. Haskins: I think Ben likes Dobbs, and I am not sure Haskins is any better than the last experiment with Paxton Lynch. Great point on Dobbs and Ben (someone else brought this up as well). I think Dobbs is there even if on the PS. He can still hold a clipboard. I got burned by Paxton too. You would think I would learn. 😁 RB: I think the Steelers carry 4 this year; I'm iffy if they keep Watt though. It depends how much they plan to use 'muth as a HB. Watt was hurt and never got much of a shot doing anything in the offense. Great comment about Samuels as well in another post. He may be there before Watt as well. WRs: 5 I think. 50/50 there, but yes you could be correct. Hoping they keep the faster version of Ryan Switzer. OL: I think they will bring in a veteran FA toward the end of pre-season. I don't have a lot of faith in Haeg or Coward as decent depth guys. I won't discount either until I see them play. They were signed as insurance. ILB: Allen shows more position flexibility; so I would expect to see him on the roster as S hybrid. I think Killebrew is the man. I originally had Allen until the Steelers signed Maulet. DB: I think Layne might be suspended for a game or three based on his guilty plea. So, I hope they bring in another veteran FA to compete. Agree on Layne. If he get suspended, I guess he will probably get cut as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
