The Final Roster Push

On this episode of Steelers Central, it's time to look at the surprising pass-blocking performance on the offensive line. Fautanu has looked like a first-round pick, Jones has had an improved showing despite the inconsistency, and Frazier and McCormick have been able to deal with the interior push. The downside is that the team has struggled to open running lanes for whoever is in the backfield. How will this affect the team's early-season game planning? Next, Roman Wilson has been the sparkplug of this WR room so far this preseason. He has made three plays of 19 yards or more in his first two games and has firmly established himself as the other boundary receiver alongside DK Metcalf. Now, with that being said, the team should still look to add another outside playmaker, and I'll explain why. With the preseason being over, it is now time to trim down the roster. I'll give you four names who could be on the bubble, despite WR seemingly being a lock before training camp starts, and one CB with upside, but can't stay healthy. Lastly, what to watch for ahead of the Steelers' preseason finale against the Panthers. The offensive line needs to open holes, Kaleb Johnson continues to get up to NFL game speed, the front 7 gets after the QB, and lastly, who wins the punter battle? 0:00-12:10 Pass Blocking > Run Blocking? 12:11-21:20 Roman Wilson, Sparkplug 21:21-31:50 Veteran Cut Candidates 31:51-47:15 Steelers vs Panthers: What to Watch for
