To say the least.Maybe BB had a little something to do with this call????
I hope /think the ones I have in bold make the PS.
Third-year LB Arnold Harrison was placed on the Waived/Injured List after injuring his left knee in the Steelers’ preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers. The team also placed rookie LB[b] Mike Humpal[/b] (neck) and rookie S[b] Ryan Mundy [/b](ankle) on the Waived/Injured List. Both players were selected by the Steelers in the sixth round of the 2008 NFL Draft.
The Steelers released 18 other players from their roster today, including: LB Patrick Bailey, WR/KR Eddie Drummond, P Paul Ernster, FB Billy Latsko, OG [b]Doug Legursk[/b]y, OG Matt Lentz, CB [b]Roy Lewis[/b], S Grant Mason, DE Ryan McBean, OT Jeremy Parquet, DT Scott Paxson, DE Jordan Reffett, WR Willie Reid, WR [b]Micah Rucker,[/b] TE Dezmond Sherrod, TE Lee Vickers, RB Justin Vincent and CB Travis Williams.
Wide receiver Marvin Allen will be added to the Steelers’ practice squad as part of the NFL’s international player development program. All NFL teams may sign up to eight players to their practice squad beginning after 12 noon on Sunday, Aug. 31. The addition of Allen enables the Steelers to carry a ninth practice squad player.
Considering we have a VERY full backfield...and Russell had a horrific preseason...I thought he might be on the cutting block.
It's good to see him get a chance to stay and redeem himself.

Being an Eastern Illinois Alumni, I hope Rucker makes our practice squad, or someone's practice squad. It'll be interesting to see if we pick up anyone else's cuts.

And this is the genius of Colbert and WHY he needs to be FIRED.
He's horrible. If he had his way we'd have a million LBs, QBs, WRs, RBs, and CBs and noone to control the line of scrimmage at all.
Our OL is old and incapable and our DL is old, fat, injury prone, and incapable.
So much for Tomlin's mantra about going younger!

Ummmm,I thought we already had it that way??? :lol:
Madison and Baker over Lewis and Reid were a little surprising to me.

To be completely honest, and I will get slapped for it around here, I dont think Colbert or Tomlin have a clue what they are doing.
Baker is taller, also drops 60% of the balls thrown to him...Reid is shorter and has struggled but played really well this pre-season. I see zero reason to keep Madison over Lewis, maybe Madison knows the system better?
Sorry to again be the realist I am, but I dont have a ton of faith in Colbert and Tomlin.
