Young QBs Ball Out, Benton's Big Extension
from Steelers Central Hosted by Ricky Turner
On this episode of Steelers Central, we break down the team's first preseason game and discuss some of the winners and losers from the team's opening victory. The young gun slingers balled out, the rookie wideouts shined, while the defensive line flashed their depth. On the other end, both tackles struggled, the STs and discipline were a mess, and Kaleb Johnson disappeared from the rotation. Next, we talk about the most impressive group for the Steelers thus far, and that's the men in the trenches on the defensive line. They have been a group that has been hyped up in the last couple of years, but see why this is the year they break out. The backend is a little different though with major pieces missing time due to injury. See why I am getting a little worried about the cohesiveness going forward, and what pieces have been stepping up with the stars on the sideline. The linebacker room just got a familiar thumper back in the room with Elandon Roberts. Listen to what makes this such a great addition, and why Roberts is just what this room and defense needed in the middle. Lastly, Keeanu Benton received a four year $72 million extension keeping him in Pittsburgh. Despite some mixed reactions for the fan bases, I am buying into the upside and thinking that went into a forward thinking move in a defense that will feature his strengths a lot more allowing him to blossom. 0:00-17:10 Preseason Week One: Winners and Losers 17:11-23:21 Steelers Strongest Group 23:22-30:42 Secondary Depth Concerns 30:43-35:39 Elandon Roberts Signing 35:40-42:16 Banking on Upside with Benton
