Players to Watch In the Lions and Steelers Game

By Barb Layton

I am so glad to see the Steelers having a home preseason game. It is always nice to see the dress rehearsal game.

I know we are all looking forward to seeing the quarterbacks play especially seeing Ben Roethlisberger play. I am interested in knowing whether Dwayne Haskins can overtake Mason Rudolph as the number 2 QB. Right now it is Mason Rudolph job to lose. He hasn’t done so yet in my opinion.

I am also interested in seeing our 5 starting OL perform together. See if they are forming as 1 united group. Will they be a top 10 OL this year? None of know. Even if they are in the middle of the pack it will be an improvement over last year.

Now let’s touch on the defense. I want to know who will win the slot job in the CB group. I am leaning towards Arthur Maulet at this time. It could also go to Antoine Brooks.

Let’s check out my players to watch this week.

Offense

Ben Roethlisberger, QB

Anthony McFarland, RB

Kalen Ballage, RB

Pat Freiermuth, TE

Rico Bussey, WR
