Let your voice be heard and join in the black-and-gold conversation!Offense<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="xQO6Mk">Quarterback (3)Ben Roethlisberger, Mason Rudolph https://www.thesteelerslockerroom.com/authentic-juju-smith-schuster-jersey , Joshua DobbsChanges: NoneAnalysis: Many believe Rudolph’s consistency gives him the advantage over Dobbs. Even though Devlin Hodges continues to impress, I can’t make the jump to QB3 just yet. But I’m getting closer.<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="0TSmKn">Running Back (3)James Conner, Jaylen Samuels, Benny Snell Jr.Changes: NoneAnalysis: Conner looked solid Saturday night in his first action, and I thought Samuels was looking great before he scored due to his blitz pickups. Snell is still fine as long as he keeps up the quality work on special teams. <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="pruqtT">Fullback (1)Roosevelt NixChanges: NoneAnalysis: It’s the most secure position group on the team.<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="d6qZjT">Wide Receiver (6)JuJu Smith-Schuster, Donte Moncrief, James Washington, Diontae Johnson, Eli Rogers, Ryan SwitzerChanges: Switzer in, Johnny Holton outAnalysis: I think the top four are locks T. J. Watt Jersey , and four main guys are fighting for two spots. Rogers and Switzer get the nod for now, but Diontae Spencer‘s return ability and Johnny Holton’s special teams versatility keep them in the mix. But they haven’t shown enough yet for me to feel confident in moving them onto the roster.<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="f8QqPW">Tight End (3)Vance McDonald, Xavier Grimble, Zach GentryChanges: NoneAnalysis: If there was any position group who needed help via free agency or trade, it’s this one.<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="4ZGxve">Offensive Line (9)Maurkice Pouncey, David DeCastro, Ramon Foster, Alejandro Villanueva, Matt Feiler, Chukwuma Okorafor, B.J. Finney Jerome Bettis Jersey White , Fred Johnson, Zach BannerChanges: NoneAnalysis: It’s hard to let Jerald Hawkins go, but there just isn’t room for 10 guys. Total Offense: 25<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="ipoqFD">Defense<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="HM1mDT">Defensive Line (6)Cameron Heyward, Stephon Tuitt, Javon Hargrave, Tyson Alualu, Isaiah Buggs, Daniel McCullersChanges: McCullers in, Lavon Hooks outAnalysis: It’s starting to feel like McCullers hangs around yet again. Someone has to take the spot, and I just haven’t seen it.<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="7NL4sT">Outside Linebacker (5)T.J. Watt, Bud Dupree James Conner Jersey White , Anthony Chickillo, Olasunkanmi Adeniyi, Tuzar SkipperChanges: Skipper inAnalysis: This is difficult with Ola having surgery this past Friday. If he’s only going to miss a week or two, they may try to get by with four. For now, Skipper gets the extra spot until the Adeniyi situation gets more clarity.<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="RvLuyt">Inside Linebacker (5)Vince Williams, Mark Barron, Devin Bush, Ulysees Gilbert III, Tyler MatakevichChanges: NoneAnalysis: Gilbert is the better linebacker, but Matakevich has so much special teams value. <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="HF53ye">Cornerback (6)Joe Haden, Steven Nelson Womens Jerome Bettis Jersey , Mike Hilton, Cameron Sutton, Justin Layne, Artie Burns Changes: NoneAnalysis: Burns showed on Saturday he’s still got some fight in him. Brian Allen seems to be the odd man out.<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="3wuuZv">Safety (3)Sean Davis, Terrell Edmunds, Jordan DangerfieldChanges: Kam Kelly outAnalysis: Needing an extra spot at linebacker for the time being, they could try to go with three for now since Hilton and Sutton could fill in if the situation arises. Look for Marcus Allen to make a push in the next coupe of weeks.
