    at 336 I suspect that is the plan but they have to get him squared away technique wise if he is to be successful as he plays to high in his stance .... at a low man wins position
    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles didn't value him either , now he is a Stain at the Mistake by the Lake 3 teams in 4 years more of a shooting star than a superstar

    He doesn't need to start right away. Benton can still play nose and Adams isn't bad either. Question though who is likely out now on the d'line?

    Defensive linemen presently listed on roster: Slade, Otomewo, Adams, Benten, Black, Davis, Ekuale, Harmon, Cam, Leal, Lee, Loudermilk.

    Soild I'd say: Cam, Black, Harmon, Ekuale, Adams. That leaves one or two spots for the rest. I think Lee gets a push because they liked him last year and he got hurt. That would leave maybe one spot for the rest. Loud milk or Leal duke it out?

    sounds about right , interestingly they announced him as an end not a nose , wonder if that was intentional or they actually plan to have him play end ?

    Maybe they see him as too tall to play on the nose? Only listed as 1 inch taller than Benten and Adams. Likely will get a look everywhere on the line.

    Dunbar said they are good with Benton at Nose and that Black they see more playing 4 technique. So they have him pegged at DE head up on the OT, could shade 4i depending on strength of formations.

    Don't forget Dean Lowery.

    D line was a need and now we have the #1 pick to play DT/DE next to Cam and Benton. And Yahyah for depth along with Adams and the others

    I did mis Lowrey, thank you. Probably then likely fighting with Loud Milk and Leal. Of course, just early speculation. There are always injuries that open opportunities for others.

    Adam Schefter is reporting that the Steelers are releasing Montravious Adams.

    The forum controls aren't available for me to post a link, but it appears to be a done deal.

    The rebuilding of the DL position and the pieces they are choosing to move forward with has already begun.

    I'm hoping that Black is a player that develops in their defensive system and can be used in multiple techniques. His natural power is evident, but he gets knocked off his feet too often. Learning to play lower and with better technique and coaching will be paramount. If he can develop into what they think he can do, he has the makings of a player that can be a problem at the point of attack.
