Well, we used to laugh at them, but now they are one of the very best teams in the entire league. I am sure Mauro is happy to be leaving Pgh and headed to AZ, especially as Nov. hits: 1st place team in a clean city with nice weather.

Mauro had a decent camp and was okay in a few pre-season games. Thought we would hang on to him. Anyone know why we gave up on him?

Thought he might be a sleeper at DE for us

Steelers def didn't give up on him, but he was signed from the Steelers practice squad to the Cards active roster. Not much they could do about it.

Let's face it, with Cam Thomas in front of him, he didn't have a chance with the Steelers...

Do we have an option there to move the player to our active roster to block such a move?

why is Landry Jones on the roster again?

Cost us a young DE

The prevailing opinion after the preseason was that he had a lot of athleticism and a good motor but needed to add a bit of bulk and get stronger. I would had liked to see what he could do after full offseason in an NFL weight program.

Buzz around camp was exactly what you stated and that it may take a little time but everyone was high on this f/a. Wish we could have kept him.

Steelers re-sign Ethan Hemer to practice squad

Hemer replaces Josh Mauro, who was signed to the active roster of the Arizona Cardinals Thursday.




The Steelers wasted little time in finding a replacement for Josh Mauro, who was signed off Pittsburgh's practice squad by the Arizona Cardinals Thursday.


They brought back defensive end Ethan Hemer, who was released earlier this month when the team added Jordan Dangerfield.


Hemer, a University of Wisconsin product, was picked up as an undrafted free-agent in May. He stuck with the team through training camp and had been with the team's practice squad through the first week of November. It raised an eyebrow or two for the roster diehards in Steelers Nation when Hemer was signed to the practice squad over Brian Arnfelt, an undrafted free-agent in 2013 who ended up making the Steelers' roster and appearing in a late-season game. Arnfelt was released in a group of defensive linemen including Mauro, Loni Fangupo and Nick Williams after an intriguing training camp battle among the defensive ends and nose tackles.


He joins Williams, a 2013 seventh-round draft pick as the defensive linemen on the practice squad.

He can't be on the 53 man roster until he knows the playbook in three different languages.

It's only that complex because it proves LaBeue is a "genius." How can you expect a mere mortal to learn the play book of a genius in less than 3 years?

Steelers might regret losing DE Josh Mauro, who was claimed from their practice squad by Arizona. Could be Brett Keisel type.

Agreed. Criminal for Jones to be taking a spot.
