Snell wasn't going to "turn the corner" on that DB. I was disappointed that he didn't turn that run upfield when he got outside the OT, as that is his game. Snell had a few 4 and 5 yard runs that looked like who he is, but I would have liked to see more forward lean and a stronger finish to the runs. Some of the early runs, were just a result of porous O line blocking, IMO.
-Gentry showed that he can be a #2 TE in the league I think.
-Washington made a case for being the #2 WR
-Banner looks to have leaned out a bit and could push for the last OT spot, but still has some sloppy moments
-Gilbert III showed the speed and passing game awareness that should earn him a spot on the 53.

Chickillo is an OLB, his competition for a roster spot are Tuzar Skipper and Sutton Smith as I think Dupree, Watt and Adeniyi are locks.
I was just talking LB group in general.

I think last year the steelers had only 3 OLBs in their roster to start the season.

Did Devin White play in that game?
