Perhaps poor attempt at sarcasm, but Moye is not and never will be a quality NFL receiver. IMO not a guy worth taking a spot on PS. However, he seems to be the current "Issac Redman" in some fans' hearts.

oh gotcha. yeah, i dont think he any good either

I don't think you can compare Moye and Redman. Redman came in and produced at a high level in regular season games quite a few times. Moye hasn't really played much in regular season games. Moye's promise comes from early last year when Ben threw an alley-oop to Moye for a TD. Many, including Ben, hoped he was the answer to the "Big Receiver" everybody wanted for the red zone. I don't think there is a big ground swell for Moye to start.

Most of them being some of those linebackers.

My guess on the 10: Branchflower, Zumwalt, Richardson, H.Jones, Moye, Justin Brown, Mauro, Nick Williams, Tauren Pool, Brendon Kay

I think H Jones might make the 53.

Would Ebron even make our 53? Since you seem to know talent I thought I would ask.

Our 3rd TE is currently our fullback, so yeah.

You asking is funny

[Shawn]

Looks like he is barely #3 for Detroit. I believe the term I read yesterday about him is "banana hands".

I would take Will Johnson over Ebron at this point.

Nah Ebron has improved a lot the last few weeks. He was raw, and hes not a good blocker but as a receiver he can be vernon davis (oddly enough Vernon davis is one of the more punishing blockers in the league)

I heard his hands are horrible.

This was the knock on him in college. Great catches followed by frustrating drops...

They said the same thing about Kelvin Benjamin but I heard he is catching everything in practice!!!

Yeah, but did you see Jimmy Graham at Miami? Drop master of the universe

Julio Jones and Terrell Owens were the same way, electric one handers followed up by drops thrown right to the numbers.

Ebron is definitely a work in progress. I liked him but as the draft got closer I wanted him less and Benjamin more (they are the same size, but Benjamin is more lethal outside the numbers and down the sideline, while ebron is a guy to attack the seams)

[RuthlessBurgher]

Graham had a pageboy haircut, rode around on a green tiger, and battled a guy with a skull for a face?

The term banana hands was used for a reason.

Roster about to dwindle

The Steelers will return to work today at their South Side facility and have off Sunday before resuming practices heading into the traditional preseason finale Thursday against the Carolina Panthers at Heinz Field.

They must reduce their roster to 75 by 4 p.m. Tuesday, but some of that heavy off-lifting could take place today.

To revive an old Chuck Noll line, “Cutting isn’t the problem; stopping is.”
