On this episode of Steelers Central, the Steelers offense has gotten off to a slow start, is it time to start worrying? The WR core has struggled outside of DK Metcalf, the offensive line has not opened consistent running lanes, and Aaron Rodgers has even looked shaky at times.
It's time for some mid-training camp takeaways including a standout rookie class. The Steelers rookie class has really impressed thus far each with their own standout plays. Troy Fautanu and Mason McCormick have each looked improved off their rookie years, and lastly, there is still a concern about the WR 2 position.
The feeling around the team between the national and local media has been a little out of proportion as well. The national media seems to think this team will go on some kind of fairy tale run, while the local media think the team is improved, not to the extent of a Super Bowl run though. This team has improved, but glaring holes will keep them from making a deep playoff run.
Lastly, I got to feel for Will Howard. The guy leads Ohio State to the National Championship, puts up big numbers throughout the playoffs, and falls all the way to the 6th round of the NFL Draft. Then he balls out in training camp, breaks a bone in his hand, and then could be out for three weeks, not seeing a preseason camp. Why I feel bad knowing this could be his only legitimate shot.
