Final Thoughts
– Clean camp for Josh Dobbs. Taking care of the football. All the QBs are, generally speaking. Completion percentage is low but the number obviously doesn’t have context. And it’s gone up over the past few practices.
– Ben Roethlisberger already up to 14 TDs on 70 attempts. Only had 16 on 120 throws all of last training camp. Red zone offense has been better.
– Knile Davis clearly getting a ton of work. 49 carries is already more than the top back in 14 practices last year when Brandon Brown-Dukes got 43.
– Antonio Brown on Artie Burns before getting hurt: 11/22 0 TDs
Antonio Brown on Ross Cockrell the last two practices since Burns has been out: 6/8 2 TDs
– Justin Hunter gone a little quiet the past few days. 4 TDs the first four practices. None since then.
– The Steelers current starting WRs if the season had to start today (AB, Hunter, Eli) all have catch percentages under 60%. Fair to think the Steelers more press/man coverage is keeping those numbers down.
Last year, AB caught 75%. Coates 73%. Rogers 74%. Hey-Bey 68%. All those numbers are down, down, down.
– Jesse James showing up in the red zone after an invisible start there. Three touchdowns over the past five practices. All in 7 shots, I believe.
– JuJu Smith-Schuster off to a rocking start. Best catch % of any receiver.
– Knile Davis showing what he can do out of the backfield. Good numbers.
