If you're Spaeth, do you feel bad that you can't get ahead of a guy who's on the PUP list and hasn't dressed for a single practice. Ouch.

Is that any sort of official, or just their best guess?

No. The Steelers released another one different.

Interesting. Mike Adams listed as the starting LT, with Gilbert at RT.

Wonder if that is official or a motivational ploy.

Haven't heard a word about WR Derek Moye. Not that I think he makes the team but has anyone who has been at camp seen or heard anything.

I think it's going to be official. I also think Adams is more of an athlete and better suited to protect Ben's blindside. It also seems he's having a very good camp. Gilbert will be just fine on the right with DeCastro and hopefully DeCastro's added athleticism is an aid to Gilbert just as Adams will help the more "mauler" style guard in Foster. Our offensive line could shape up to be pretty damn good this year if we avoid the bug and they continue to gel.

I've read good things about both Justin Brown and Derek Moye...

I'm interested in seeing what Dunn can do with the kickoff returns. I'd love to see him have a Devin Hester like effect.

As the Wizard might say, pay no attention to that man behind the Steel Curtain depth chart. In normal times, it’s not precise, right now, it means less.

For years, Mike Tomlin would list Ike Taylor as his starting left cornerback and when they took the field for practice or games, Taylor would line up at right cornerback, unless his assignment that game was to cover a certain receiver wherever he lined up.

This week’s press release has, for example, Le’Veon Bell as the No. 5 running back. He will be No. 1 by Sept. 8, when they open for real against Tennessee. It also lists Matt Spaeth as the No. 1 tight end. David Paulson will have that role and probably has that job right now.

Al Woods, who has been working at nose tackle, is not listed there at all but rather as the backup defensive end.

Even though they have Bell listed behind all the veterans at running back, they did not give the veterans preference like that in other places. Jarvis Jones, for example, is listed as second-team right outside linebacker behind starter Jason Worilds, while second-year veteran Adrian Robinson is listed as No. 3.

Sometimes, Mike Tomlin tries to send a message with his public depth chart, such as last season when he listed both Mike Wallace/ Emmanuel Sanders at one starting wide receiver spot before their Dec. 2 game at Baltimore. The media dutifully jumped all over that.

That was one of the few times in which it truly was worth paying attention to the depth chart. But not today.
