After a successful camp in Latrobe, The Steelers will play their second preseason game today, matching up against the NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons as everyone in the free world knows are coming off the biggest Super Bowl choke job in history.
Here are some things to look at:
-James Conner will get the lion share of the snaps today at RB. He will get a very long look as Le’Veon Bell is still holding out. Conner is a great story and a between the tackles banger.
-The Offensive line will have a few different combinations as the first team is a little banged up. Look for super sub Chris Hubbard and BJ Finney to get very long looks. Matt Feiler, will also move around, he saw time at Tackle and Guard in last weeks game. We are pushing for Feiler to make the team.
-Mike Hilton is this years camp darling. After the Steelers signed him to the practice squad in December, he has lit up camp and looks like he will press to be on the main roster. With the constantly injured Senquez Golson being on the shelf and 3rd round pick Cam Sutton missing most of camp, this is Hinton’s opportunity to continue to run away from the pack.
-All eyes will be on TJ Watt who is coming off a great first showing. Watt looked terrific in his debut against the Giants and seems like a high motor kid.
-No Big Ben and no AB today, look for Bart Houston to get another look and Joshua Dobbs, who will start. Dobbs started shaky but made a nice comeback against the Giants. Not sure the status on Landry Jones before game time.
