    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)
    Kelvin Benjamin is catching everything thrown in arms reach.

      Steelers plan to make no cuts today. Will do so tomorrow morning. Have until 4 p.m. Tuesday to get down to 75

        Will they release names of the practice squad at noon today or is that the earliest they can start to sign players?

          We need to get at least one running back on that practice squad.

            If I had to guess at the practice squad:

            Rob Blanchflower, TE
            Howard Jones, OLB
            Josh Mauro, DE
            Nick Williams/Ethan Hemer, DE
            Shaq Richardson, CB
            Stephen Houston, RB
            Dan Molls, ILB
            Derek Moye/Laneer Sampson, WR

            Not sure about the last two. Personally, I'd add So'oto and sign an offensive lineman cut by somebody else. They may add another DB, just for practice numbers, in which case I could see it being either Dangerfield or Ventrone.

              Scratch Ventrone, he is not elligible under the CBA. Too many trips to PS while a member of the Patriots.

                According to reports, Josh Mauro and RB Joshua Harris both added to practice squad today.

                    Here's the rest of the list:


                    The Steelers signed wide receivers C.J. Goodwin and Derek Moye, offensive lineman Alejandro Villanueva, defensive backs Shaquille Richardson and Ross Ventrone, defensive linemen Josh Mauro and Nick Williams, running back Josh Harris, tight end Rob Blanchflower and linebacker Howard Jones.

                      Villanueva as an offensive linemen? I thought he was listed as a DE

                            A torn Achilles is a bad injury and it happened late in the season. Last I heard he is a backup center for Carolina. When they signed him, the sentiment was: "If he is healthy, this is a good pickup."

                                I thought that as well too.
