Definitely a positive, but if it is an ACL it will make it that much tougher to bounce back considering it will be the 2nd time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.Quote:

Make sure you follow Steelersnow. Nick Farabaugh, and Alan Saunders do great work.
Correct. Ward didn’t have an ACL. Lost it in a bicycle accident I believeQuote:

Steelers Training Camp Takeaways: Passing Game Looks….Mid
https://steelersnow.com/steelers-tra...sing-game-mid/Quote:
But how can I get excited about an offense that, to this point, is largely mid. Pickett doesn’t have much to blame in this. Although, today he does. But Pickett is not yet at the stage where he is a star quarterback who somehow elevates everything around him. They might get some explosive plays with George Pickens and Diontae Johnson. Moreover, they have some nice tight ends to work with and a good stable of running backs.
It’s just the scheme is not diverse. The deep shots are formulaic. So far, the execution is what you would expect from a young offense. There is not a lot to convince me that this is a team that will be consistently explosive and a particularly good passing game. They’re better than last year, but that doesn’t translate into a good passing attack.
Haven't read through much of the camp notes but any sign of a Herbig vs Herbig moment?
Kendrick Green got two snaps at Fullback during Friday Night Lights. 10 yard run, and a pancake block. Wish I knew the back story on Monte the Mullet. Had the team made.
Vince Williams predicted this about Kendrick Green or at least tossed around the idea.Quote:

This Green experiment makes little to no sense. Are they going to keep 5 players at the TE/FB spot? If not, you’re most likely cutting a more talented player or just wasting reps to have fun at the expense of reps a player like Heyward could be getting…if we start seeing this as a trend, I’ll be worried for the roster build…

I mean I guess they could keep him as a back up OG and have a special FB package for him…but I’d much rather see a ball in the hands of Heyward than Green…Quote:

A whole lot of positives talk about Kendrick Green's play at fullback. Zach Gentry should be feeling the pressure if this continues into the preseason.
This is two days in a row KG is running over linebackers, and catching the ball. This is not bs'ing.
I’ll grant that’s it’s interesting and all that.Quote:

If he’s still doing this in the 2nd or 3rd preseason game, then it might be something.

at 315 pounds just keep it moving forward , no fancy stuff like a spin move just run hard and lower your shoulderQuote:
