Beat writer Ed Bouchette would not be surprised if the Steelers elected to keep Maurkice Pouncey at center rather than easing him at right guard.
The Steelers weren't sure if Pouncey would be ready to give offensive line signals at center, but he's taking snaps there in practice. After watching the Browns' Alex Mack excel as a run-blocker last season, the Steelers have to be thinking about replacing Justin Hartwig with their own talented rookie.

Ben immediately supplanted Leftwich as the first team's QB.
Also, per Wexell's twitter, he's "in much better shape than a couple months ago.

I firmly believe Ben will play the best football of his career when he gets back into action.

I also believe we should be contenders this season. I believe we can have a really, really good season. We are the underdogs going into the season. The Steelers LOVE to be the underdogs.

i agree, ive heard people say it would be a miracle for this team to win 6-8 games....i dont buy that at all, thats sleeping on them big time, i could see them winning 6 games in the first 8 weeks

The only games I see us struggling with the first four weeks are Tennessee and Baltimore. I only see us losing to Baltimore, if any. I say let them sleep on the Steelers while they ride to another Super Bowl. Doesn't bother me.

Oh, and Antonio Brown is going to make the team. He is one cocky son of a ***** and has really performed well. He and Keenan Lewis got into a little fight during practice today. I love a little scuffle between players. I think Lewis will be huge for us this season.

Sounds like coaches are getting very frustrated with David Johnson. Sean McHugh or even Eugene Bright could make the team over Johnson if he continues this.
Crezdon Butler is impressing still. I think he makes the team and could start for us further down the road.

Tomlin said that from now in, Ben and Dixon will be the guys who get the most reps with the first team.

Antonio Brown is ahead of Emmanuel Sanders on the depth chart.

Anyone like to hazard a guess at our CB rotation this season?
It wouldnt suprise me if Keenan Lewis and Bryant McFadden share time. And im hoping Crezdon Butler can continue to grow and possibly get some playing time. I love me some Joe Burnett but atm it looks like he might be left out.

IMO, the corners will look like Ike-BMac-Lewis-***-Burnett-Butler.

Troy Polamalu is back in Pittsburgh practicing with the team.
We also cut Jared Retkofsky and signed veteran Matt Stewart.
