question on Dwyer

[Vader]

It wasn't just a football decision. Cutting him saves the Steelers some money.

While Dwyer came in good shape this season, I thought he regressed as a runner in the preseason. Seemed like every other time he touched the ball, he was misreading his blocks and was always trying to bounce outside when he had room to run inside.

I think he might have been a victim of the new blocking scheme. He just wasn't getting it done. Add in the past conditioning issues, the fact that he's not the best pass catcher, some missed blocks, fumbles, and I can see why the Steelers went this way.

Last year he ran violently when he had the chance. This preseason he ran almost confused at times.

He came to OTA's 30lbs overweight.. then dropped it in time for camp.. thats garbage.. poor work ethic.. i don't know how anyone could like that about him ???

Dwyer just was not the best fit for the ZBS. Edmund Nelson pointed out several times during the preseason broadcasts that Dwyer was hesitant in making decisions. This system calls for instant on the move reads and unfortunately this was not Dwyers strong suit. He is very good but just not quite good enough.

Even without knowing really anything about the #1 pick, TS running game will be improved this season.
