- 2d Brooke Pryor (X) Troy Fautanu on that play: "It's funny because [Mason McCormick] does it every game. He does it to somebody like whoever's jumping, it's their fault for jumping in the first place. ... It is what it is. I'm sure going forward, Mason's going to continue to do it. I mean, what else are you going to do? Let a guy jump on your back like what are you supposed to do?" · Quoting Kimberley A.

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
- 2 young DL from this class, Gabriel Rubio and Kevin Jobity Jr., find a way onto the roster
- Both Jenkins and Spears-Jennings make it due to Elliott going to IR. Safety has to be a position they'll look at on the waiver / trade market potentially · Quoting Nick Farabaugh: Steelers' 53-man roster:
QBs: Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, Drew Allar

Mike McCarthy summed a lot of the line's issues up to a lack of chemistry since they tried so many different combinations together in the summer.
He also said that he doesn't see any rust on Troy Fautanu and Mason McCormick moving from the right to the left. He doesn't think that move is why they've struggled.

- Sep 21 Nick Farabaugh (X) Yeah. Fautanu certainly wasn't great, but it felt like a disaster watching it live. Was absolutely not that watching it back on tape. He was...fine yesterday. Second to last rep Rodgers run himself into that sack, too. · Quoting Tommy Jaggi: Every Troy Fautanu pass block snap in Week 2 vs. the Patriots: #Steelers
- Sep 21 Nick Farabaugh (X) Very clear that McCarthy regrets using so many different OL combinations around this training camp. The OL's communication and chemistry to pass off twists, stunts, and other blitz looks was extremely poor in Week 2. They allowed far too many free runners. Those 5 haven't had that much time together due to testing out combinations. Not crazy to think this could be part of it. · Quoting Nick Farabaugh: Mike McCarthy summed a lot of the line's issues up to a lack of chemistry since they tried so many different combinations together in the summer.

- Sep 16 Alan Saunders (X) If #Steelers LT Troy Fautanu (ankle) can't go this week, it'll be Dylan Cook flipping back to left tackle and Max Iheanachor making his first career start. Cook doesn't seem worried about either. “Nothing different. We do that in practice. ... We try to flip-flop here and there for those scenarios."

- Sep 16 Alan Saunders (X) I would not consider the #Steelers changing the verbiage from back to conditioning on Porter‘s injury report to be super significant.
