While it didn’t matter and was an exhibition there were some very good signs and some very bad signs during Sunday’s games. Here is the Beer We Go Take:<\/p>\n
-Number one rule of preseason, don’t get hurt. Steelers broke the rule as steady but unspectacular kicker Shaun Suisham is out for the season. Look for a new kicker to be signed this week. (BTW tough night for kickers as it looks like former Steeler “Skippy” Reed pulled his drunk show and was kicked out of the game Sunday night.)<\/p>\n
-Ryan Shazier is a monster and Timmons can still lay the wood. I have said all along the Steelers front seven looks very special, they\u00a0certainly showed signs of that Sunday night. They have a “Thunder and Lightning” quality that was apparent.<\/p>\n
-Stephon Tuitt has “anchorability” he was immovable at the point of attack and had to be\u00a0double teamed at the point of attack.<\/p>\n
-Dri Archer can still be special. He needs to get better and learn his abilities, but he is a “HR” hitter when called upon.<\/p>\n
-If Big Ben gets hurt…we are dead. That isn’t exactly news but the Steelers look very shaky without Ben. Landry Jones had a nice first half and then faded away rather quickly. To be fair he had some opportunities that other players “messed” up. He also didn’t play with any of the Varsity playmakers.\u00a0I don’ think he played poorly but he certainly didn’t make a great case.<\/p>\n
-Alejandro Villanueva is going to push to make the team and send Mike Adams home. He had a good game and was the best lineman Sunday night. He played great and graded out near perfect. He is also just downright massive.<\/p>\n
-Jesse James might have played the worst game I have ever seen. He was downright awful. I am pulling for him but\u00a0the competition for the number two tight end is\u00a0WIDE open now. He did nothing to help his case and every Steeler fan should be praying for Heath Miller to stay healthy.<\/p>\n
-The biggest question mark is the secondary and they still don’t look great. It is hard to make that statement given it wasn’t the entire starting secondary but nobody impressed me or stood out.<\/p>\n
-The Steelers have so many good WR it is embarrassing. Even the backups, backups look like playmakers. Shakim Phillips WR may make the practice squad\u00a0absolutely torched the Vikings first round pick\u00a0Trae Waynes\u00a0several times.<\/p>\n
