you are incorrect, players on the Reserve/Suspended list do not count against the 53-man roster.
RESERVE/SUSPENDED LIST (1)
Saunders will miss the first four games for testing positive for a banned substance and will not count against the 53 man roster.

Great replies. I tend to forget some of these things being its my first time I tried this. I get caught up with what the roster might look like and forget to realize there are some factors that I must take into account.
Special Teams I think is easy.
Suisham K - will be back as our kicker this year. I do not see the steelers keeping him after this year and I believe they may invest in a pick next year to replace him.
Butler/Kapinos - This will be a good battle. Kapinos has been in the league a few years and has some experience under his belt. He has filled in very well when sepulveda was injured the past few seasons. He has good leg strength and has been pretty reliable. He is a cheap option at punter but his upside is limited at this point. Butler is a rookie who had a good collegiate career. He is boasted to have much more leg power and is known for many inside the 20 punts. I have not seen to much of him but I like the youth movement. I think Butler will surprise at camp and win the job.
LS - Greg Warren - Has been with the team for many years. A great LS but does not provide any other value. He could be used in a pinch on the o-line due to his size. Other than that he is your standard LS.
Defense is coming. Either tonight or the tomorrow.
