Going by the article it seems the Steelers will keep 9OL this year. AV(LT), Foster(LG), Pouncey(C), Decastro(RG), Feiler(RT), Finney(OG/C), Banner(RT), Chuks(LT), and Johnson(RT/RG). Does anybody read it differently? I thought Hassenaur, Morris, or Brumfield might make a roster spot but seem to be either a bit smallish, or a step slower than the rest. Will be interesting to see where Gray and Hawkins land. PS or in a trade or outright cut? The article suggests Gray to PS and trade Hawkins, guess we'll see.

So far that seems like the top 9. Keeping in mind that Finney is in final year of his contract, Johnson seems to be next best interior OL. Banner has looked decent at RT and Gray has played some guard and done decent, but looks like he put on more weight, so playing RT might be tough.

I think Gray to the PS is likely and if they can get something for Hawkins, sure...he has looked OK, but not great in the 2 games so far. But he is running with the #2 and 3 's, so not looking like he is back from injury and may never be.
