The key players who were on the bubble that made it:
- They carry 3 true TEs with Nowakowski as a FB / TE with Tonyan
- Eli Heidenreich appears to have won the RB3 job
- 9 OL, but very interior heavy. Probably need an OT in there

- Oct 14 Alan Saunders (X) #Steelers rookie Daylen Everette is gaining the trust of DC Patrick Graham -- and not just in coverage. “I know he had pass breakups and all the pretty stuff that might be on highlights and stuff, but my favorite play was a two-yard gain. ... There was a crack/replace situation, and he came in there ... stuck his shoulder in there, helped create the wall."
- Deeeeeep ball from Daniel Jones for Deion Burks, but rookie Daylen Everette is there to break it up. Up-and-down day for the secondary, but feels like there's been more impressive ups and than head-shaking downs.

FWIW: CB Jamel Dean didn't play the final two drives of the game. Rookie Daylen Everette replaced him.

Something to watch ahead of Week 3 against the Bengals' top WRs. #Steelers
