This was a hard decision for me on some of the players. I think they might consider trading Jaylen Samuels and placing Benny Snell on IR. I was just looking at possible cuts.
Here is my list of cuts
There were some really big winners in the Steelers verse Lions game. It was so good to see Ben play like the Ben of old. He has 2 new talented weapons in the Running Back and Tight End positions.
Several players were impressive on the the defensive side of the ball also. Let’s get started.
Game MVP: Pat Freiermuth

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
Defense
Arthur Malet, DB
James Pierre, CB

Please let me know your thoughts.
It’s great having Steelers Football back in front of a full stadium. Last weeks win over the Cowboys was a good game to knock the rust off for everyone.
There was a few players that were a surprise like wide receiver Matthew Sexton in the return game, and free safety Donovan Stiner coming up with a clutch interception to get the team fired up.
So lets take a look at a few players to watch in this game besides the Quaterbacks.
Offense

Special Teams
Bonus Player: 51 Buddy Johnson, ILB
It’s to believe that Steelers football is back. This is the first look at Matt Canaday’s offense, and to see 1st Round Pick rookie RB Najee Harris.
This is a big game for a lot of the young players on this team, since there are only three preseason games. It will give these players a chance to show what the can do not only for this team, but also for the other 31 teams in the league.
So let’s get in to the players to watch in this game.

I would love to hear who you guys are watching the game. Let me know in the comments.
This is way too early, but this is my pre-training camp 53 man roster. So I am going under the assumption that we will still have the 16 man practice squad. It probably will have older players on it too. So here we go.

I put most in alphabetical order not as a depth chart.
With the 2021 NFL Draft ending Saturday. It’s never to early to start taking a look at the next years class. This is my first mock draft for the 2022 NFL Draft.
This draft I did make one trade down. But in my following drafts I will be including trades that could happen.
Let’s get in to the draft!
With the 2021 NFL Draft just ending two days ago. It’s never to early to start looking to the next class of prospects. This Quarterback class is a interesting one with Spencer Rattler and Desmond Ridder among the top.
This year’s class is going to have a lot of seniors that due to COVID had their seasons canceled, are able to return for their senior seasons.
Let’s get in to the big board.
The Lions have released their Official list of undrafted free agent signings. The Lions are looking like a they’re build a tough hard nose football with their draft picks. That continues with their undrafted free agents, it looks like they found some gems with Jonathan Adams (WR), Drake Jackson (C), Sage Surratt (WR), Rakeem Boyd (RB), Tommy Kreamer (G).
Here is their complete list.
The Packers have officially released their undrafted free agent signings. They had a very good draft this year. That continued into their UDFA signings. They seem to have found some gems with Christian Uphoff (S) and Carlo Kemp (DT).
Here is their full list.
