Good. Let him rest up and heal for Baltimore.
I do wonder who they'll throw in for the fourth receiver this week. Anyone think Ward can play for one game?![]()
I have to admit, I don't like the fact that Gilbert is coming back after this next game probably. I think what Adams does for the run game far exceeds what Gilbert does for the passing game.
Last week, I was laughing at the idea of a RB controversy. Now? Sure, Mendenhall starts, but who is the number two? Number three? Do we put Dwyer in there, or does Redman come on as number two? I think Dwyer has more versatility but Redman can pound it out just a tad more. I've always said that good problems are just problems you can't complain about. I think we have that situation now with our RB's.
I don't mind AB sitting this Monday night. Tomlin did confirm it just to be a small ankle sprain, but it can still be something that lingers if not given the proper time to heal.
Mendy has a chance to play, but i say if he is not 100% then sit him. We have now two healthy backs who can contribute and there is no point in risking another injury to Mendy.

Mike Tomlin Will Consider Adding A Practice Squad Wide Receiver Later This Week

Clemons may get the nod.
Shouldn't need Brown, shouldn't need Troy, shouldn't need anyone banged up. If they can't beat the Chiefs, who by the way have announced that because Brady Quinn is still suffering from concussion symptoms, Matt Cassell will start; if they can't beat the Chiefs, they have many more issues than the injuries. Many more issues.
Again - ...because Brady Quinn is still suffering from concussion symptoms, Matt Cassell will start...
Brady Quinn...
AB is overpaid anyways.![]()
The Steelers signed former Penn State WR Derek Moye to their practice squad today... I'd kinda like to see what he can do.
Rest Tone, we'll be fine with Wallace, Sanders, Cotchery and whoever dresses as a 4th. WR for the Chiefs game.
I don't know that they'll promote a receiver for the week. Miller/Rianey (if healthy) should be able to fill in nicely if needed, depending on the set. How often does Haley have four receivers on the field? Not often enough to use another active spot on a fourth wideout in my opinion. Granted if someone gets injured you have a bit of a problem, but I wouldn't be extremely concerned.
I think you promote a fourth wideout in case someone gets hurt.
Yeah, that would be the only reason to do so in this offense in my opinion. But if the coaches feel they can use that active spot to their advantage at another position I think I'd look at utilizing it that way first.

I think in our offense it would be a crucial position, because say sanders goes down i the 1st quarter, then we are rolling with wallace cotchery and rainey. I really dont feel comfortable with rainey whos not practicing as a wideout knowing the routes. It only takes one wrong route to result in a pick 6, I think you bring up a 4 who knows how to run the routes just in case. Besides i like rainey out of the backfield on a linebacker better.
Steelers final report: Polamalu, Brown, Gilbert, Sylvester out. Mendenhall doubtful. Carter questionable. Rainey, Dwyer, Suisham probable.
Oops. Wrong thread.
wrong topic!
Expect Cotchery to have a career game. Pope might even catch a few. Wallace will drop 3 or 4, but catch a TD.
All Defense!
What do these last few posts have to do with Antonio Brown's or any other Steeler injury?
