Apparently played 4 snaps last night at NT. Anyone notice his play?

I didn't even notice that he DID play. I was high on the guy, but I do wonder if he'll ever get past the leverage issue. Anybody believe he's big enough for the leverage not to matter as much? I've seen linemen get under his pads before and while he bends he really didn't move backwards. I kinda wondered if that was indicative or not.

Did he play? Didn't notice. I thought he'd be good, given his size. I've since become less hopeful..
Still, this may be something coaching could fix.

Holding out hope for mccullers.

He's a behemoth and if he commits himself during the off season and doesn't let himself go, he could still become a serviceable, if not special, player.

If he can turn the corner, I can't imagine the havoc he could create. Particularly with Heyward and Tuitt.

It really is a dream 3-4 D-line.

You didn't notice his play because he didn't really do anything.

But 4 plays is not a lot of opportunity to show what he is capable of. I'm hoping that by the start of next season, he will be doing good things out there for the Steelers' D.

Sometimes that's a good thing. He didn't do anything stupid either.

Kinda hard with four plays. I really didn't notice McLendon, Shazier, Spence or J Jones either. Heyward, Timmons, Harrison and Tuitt were both very noticeable in the front 7.

Look at it this way. He played four snaps and that's four snaps that Thomas didn't play. I think over at the Depot they said McClendon only played twenty-something snaps. The Nickel/Dime is our new base.

He's a sixth round pick. If he ends up playing at all, it's an accomplishment. 99% of sixth round picks are not Antonio Brown.

How did you miss Spence's sack?
