Well, whoever wrote that is an idiot. We almost always roll with 7 receivers.....

We do that too with all position players.

Elliott was a kicker, you know a position that is not often drafted with a 5th round pick or better.

...isn't that why the title is "Bold Predictions"?

I'm pretty sure last year, '11 and '13 were the only recent years where we've had 7 receivers.

Maybe so. I think 7 is a little excessive. However, considering Erickson was a kick returner last year, he basically filled that position with minimal line work. So maybe we had 6.5? LOL. BTBH, if you have 7 and a few do nothing but ride the bench most of the year, it seems wasteful.

I will also say that the years we had 7, we used all 7 on Gameday, generally; some guys would only get 'teams snaps, like you said, but they all dressed/

If they are better on STs than a 6th CB they make the team usually.
LB Brandon Bell passes physical and is cleared to practice. Also returning after missing a couple of practices DE Ja’Von Rolland-Jones. WR Josh Malone is still out with a leg injury. Also not practicing Clayton Fejedelem, Sojourn Shelton, and Tony McRae.

Interesting to hear that the Steelers think they may have a new star TE in Vance McDonald and that they are looking to make their offense more TE friendly. Now would be a great time for us to start being better at covering TEs. Maybe Jessie Bates and Malik Jefferson can help us improve in that respect. 

Also, is this just a typo from Hobson or is Dre K really playing Safety:

Dalton had another solid day. Just take a look at three straight passes to wide receivers in the team period right after goal line. He hit A.J. Green over the middle, led Tyler Boyd on a drag route to the sideline and threaded a ball between safety Dre Kirkpatrick and rookie safety Jessie Bates for Brandon LaFell.
