The Steelers completed their first week of training camp the way they began in the spring, with Byron Leftwich leading the way at quarterback.
Coach Mike Tomlin has not publicly announced his starting quarterback for the first four games that Ben Roethlisberger will miss but he has been consistent by his actions. Leftwich is No. 1, and although Dennis Dixon had an excellent first week throwing the ball in Latrobe, he is likely to remain there.
"I feel good, man. I love this system," Leftwich said of Bruce Arians' offense. "It allows the quarterback to make plays. It allows you to use your mind. You got to make decisions out there. There's a lot they put on the quarterback to make and I like being in that situation.
"I feel real good about it. I feel real good about this situation. I feel real good about this offense and I feel real good about this team."
