The Steelers signed S Jabrill Peppers, who seems poised to start in Elliot’s place in the meantime. That’s a big time addition to this defense with or without the injury to Elliot; the injury just speeds up his timeline to see the field in my opinion.

Jalen Ramsey sticks with his man despite Justin Fields’ improvising, and honestly makes light work of Josh Reynolds for a PBU. This was the beginning of the end for the Jets. 

I’m extremely optimistic after seeing how the offense was able to move the ball, but the offensive line was really manhandled in this game, specifically on the outside at the tackle spots.

This weekend, the boys are traveling to East Rutherford, New Jersey for a REGULAR SEASON matchup against the New York Jets. 239 days will have passed since the last meaningful Steelers game when this one kicks off tomorrow at 1 pm EST.

The players and the coaching staff alike all seem to be moving with a confidence about them that I haven’t seen from this team in a long time. They’re in the building seeing what’s unfolding every single day, and a lot of those guys have won Super Bowls, and know what it looks like and what it takes. Their seemingly unwavering confidence is good enough for me. Let’s go capture number 7.

As the dust of the offseason settles, and we sit just eight days removed from the Steelers’ first game of the season, I figure now’s as good a time as any to take a trip around the division and speculate how the Steelers might fare against the competition

The Steelers released their initial 53-man roster on Tuesday, and I’m going to deliver some quick thoughts on that. However, it’s important to remember that this thing is not set in stone, and you can bet top dollar that things are going to look a slightly different week one, but more on that later.

After losing Fautanu for the year last year, I thought we were staring down the barrel of little-to-no reps for our first-round pick for a second consecutive year, but it seems as though we’ve dodged a bullet.

Thankfully, he spoke specifically about being eager to see the starters in the secondary get some reps together in an effort to aid in their “cohesion” and “communication”. Assuming nothing happens to derail that, we should get our first look at JPJ, Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay, and DeShon Elliot together in a game-like setting.
