Typically the 1st preseason game is not much more than a glorified scrimmage against another roster. Further the starters usually have limited reps in this first preseason game. That said, what will you be focusing upon when the Steelers come to town on Friday?

 

Clearly, the play of the offensive line and specifically the play of Luke Joeckel will be one area of interest.

 

I also want to see some of the young Dlineman like Ryan Davis, Chris Smith, Andre Branch, Michael Bennett rush the Steeler QB. So far these young lineman have had only controlled practices, but against the Steelers, these young guys can be unleashed.

 

Question: Who will be the most impressive Dlineman against the Steelers?

 

Another area, I want to see is the WR competition for the 4th, 5th and 6th WRs.

 

We can assume that Chad Henne will play QB for at least 1 Qtr and I am assuming he will target his favorite WR Tony Washington, but I want to see a real competition between Washington and Greene. Who is the better prospect on the field?

 

I am very interested in seeing how Nick Marshall does against the Steeler WRs and I would also like to see if Jeremy Harris will give the coaches any reason to keep him on the roster.

 

I am interested in watching Armbrister man the MLB spot.

 

These are a few of the people I will be monitoring during the game.

 

Who will you be watching and what are you looking for from these players?
