Selfishly I'm going to see a lot of Sam Howell and Matt Corral. They were my #1 and #2 QBs in this draft class.

Not interested in seeing Kenny Pickett?

First look at Baker in a panthers uni, of  ourse Matt Corral, WRs not named DJ and Robbie, the new and improved offensive line, CJ Henderson and his next steps in the secondary. 

Theres enough I'll be watching the third and fourth quarters for more than just background noise this year. 

I'm actually looking at Robbie. I'm crossing my fingers that his piss poor performance last season was a one off and, with Mayfield, he can go back to being good if not great.

Not really. Hell, I don't even think the Steelers are all that interested.

Last I saw, he was still #3 on the depth chart. Not exactly what you're hoping for out of a 1st round QB. With a mid-round guy you're anticipating him to be a developmental prospect but you'd hope that 1et rounder would come in and at least challenge for a starting role. Especially given the guys in front of him

Looks like he is starting to warm up. Look at those lil hands clutching that ball! Pickens will be a stud if he stays healthy IMO. He battled some injuries at UGA.

Yes. Heavy dose of  Rhule sucks, Tepper sucks, Darnold sucks, why isn’t Corral getting more snaps. Add in a pinch of Derrick Brown is a bust and can Luke come back to play linebacker. 
 

I suspect there will be the occasional play analysis too.  But quite entertaining nonetheless.  

It's like you hit all the Huddle highlights except for "move CMC to slot"

I'd hope so because the stories I've been reading out of Steelers camp had been positively brutal.

Hell, to date I've seen more positive coverage of Will Grier than I have Pickett.

Steelers fans aren't anywhere as down on him as you. Been in Pittsburgh area all week. There's plenty of optimism for him in the long run. Pretty much none of them are interested in Trubisky 

You have to be hopeful about a 1st rounder until you're sure he's a bust.

[WestPanthers]

All rookies and no injuries please.

[hepcat]

No injuries mainly

[Jackie Lee]

Ouch.  Obviously people don't really travel for preseason games so I think it's more on the Commanders

On the heels of the videos where no fans were showing up for camp...

Preseason and all but I still feel like David Tepper would have a fit if that were us.

Fans are boycotting the commanders this year.  Tough time for that franchise.

I think the only reason the Steelers took him in the 1st round is because they thought he wouldn't be there in the late 2nd. I doubt even they thought Kenny Pickett was a 1st round rated qb. In the 2nd? Debatable.
