Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
They may actually be done with the UDFA's......there is one roster spot open and if I'm looking at my depth chart right we still need to sign a WR. I think it will probably be a vet to compete with Sweed and Wallace, at least I hope so. They may roll with 79 for a minute until they find the free agent bargain they are looking for but I really wanna see a vet WR come in here and compete for the 3-5 spots. Just a personal wish I guess but I don't feel there is enough quality depth at WR.
My guess is that they dump one of the 3 long snappers currently on the roster (only need 2 for training camp), then pick up an extra punter and an extra kicker to keep Sepulveda and Reed's legs fresh throughout camp.
I hope Shipley shows that he can do long snapping and we don't have to carry a specialist. I have heard tidbits of info that he has practiced doing it before and demonstrated what he could do at the combine.
Do you really want somebody who has never long snapped before doing it in games for us? Long-snapping may seem like a small thing but if you have somebody that screws up even once it can have terrible consequences.
How do we have so many guys on the roster?? I thought that teams were not allowed to exceed the 80 man roster limit. By my depth chart we currently have 86 players signed. How is that possible??? Anyone know??? If so let me know!!!

I believe the 80 man limit is for training camp. I assume that we can bring a few more than that to offseason mini-camps and OTA's as long as it is whittled down to 80 when we report to Latrobe.
