I don’t see us going in to the season with 2 TE plus baby Heyward, especially with 1 TE a rookie. Gentry makes the team. Agreed with Loudermilk on PS

If Gentry and BaHey make the team I don't see a path for Pottebaum to make it.  BaHey might not be the blocker the Midwest Mullet is but he's better in almost everything else.

I think the simple answer is that Pottebaum just doesn’t make the team. Unless he makes it as a strictly ST guy, over an ILB or something, I don’t see him taking any snaps on offense. If we need a FB, use a big guy. If Kendrick Green makes the team, I could see him getting snaps at FB.

Do the Steelers generally dress 7 or 8 OL on game day?

I could see them trading for another IOL guy that’s more center capable then anything even though I know Herbig and Daniels have center experience.

I feel like MT has tried to always start the season with 7 and goes to 8 as soon as someone gets dinged up.

What’s your guess? Anybody in mind, or positions in mind? The line looks pretty set to me, but who knows? 

Sorry, didn’t mean to be cryptic, the move coming is moving Dotson, I believe. The other ‘savings’ on the cap I listed will all be cuts. Question is, moving Dotson gets us what, or who, the latter of which could impact the final 53. Biggest weaknesses on this team right now are slot corner, talent/depth at off ball linebacker, and IMO…center.

Oh yeah, Dotson moving makes sense. I think when I read your comment originally, I was thought you were talking about bringing in another OL. Yeah, I think Dotson probably gets traded. He’s not versatile enough to be a depth guy.

Korsak might beat out Harvin.  Gum chewer loves his placement punters and Korsak is one of the best.

And Harvin sucks all around outside of maybe 8 to 10 punts per season.

Harvin will leave the Steelers, go to another team and become a top 10 punter in the league.

At some point, you must look at the coach as to why the ST are always in the bottom 3rd of the league
