End Of Camp Weekend: Steelers Friday Night Five Questions

Happy Friday and I hope yinz are doing well.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially wrapped up their 2023 training camp with our last report and podcast yesterday evening. We hope you enjoyed our coverage. Though camp is over, Pittsburgh will host its sole preseason home game tomorrow night against the Buffalo Bills. From there, it’s a quick turnaround to when they take on the Atlanta Falcons the following Thursday. So two games will span our next Friday Five. Of course, we’ve got you covered with everything that happens from now until then.

Hope you all have a great weekend and that you enjoy our continued coverage. I thank you for visiting the site and we appreciate all of your great feedback. As always, we have five Friday night questions for you to answer.

Peace and love, peace and love!

1 – Will the Steelers beat the Bills?

2 – How many total snaps does Joey Porter Jr. play in his NFL debut? 

3 – Does Anthony McFarland Jr. have a kick return of 30-plus yards against Buffalo?

4 – Will Calvin Austin III have a play that gains 25-plus yards (rushing, receiving, or punt returning) vs the Bills?

5 – Besides Austin, if every Steeler ran a 40-yard dash, who would be the fastest? Who would be the slowest?

Recap of 2023 First Preseason Game Weekend Friday Night 5 Questions

Note: Whomever wins the preseason contest is eligible to win a Steelers Jersey polo.

Question 1: The Steelers beat Tampa Bay 27-17. But the game wasn’t that close. Everyone but one naysayer picked up a point on this question.

Question 2: Anthony McFarland Jr. led Steelers running backs with 18 yards on three attempts. He was whom eight of 13 respondents predicted would lead the team in rushing. However, WR Calvin Austin III led all Steelers with 23 yards on two attempts. Doc Ellis D the only respondent to get this question correct!

Question 3: Steelers Depot respondents picked Mason Rudolph to play the most snaps at quarterback over Mitch Trubisky by a seven to six vote. No one picked Kenny Pickett or Tanner Morgan to lead the way. Turns out, Trubisky played the least snaps with nine. Then Pickett with 10. Tanner Morgan played 21 snaps despite few opportunities at camp. Mason Rudolph led the way with 23.

Question 4: The Steelers defense sacked Tampa quarterbacks four times. Nick Herbig got 1.5, Nick Kwiatkowski and Quincy Roche one apiece, and DeMarvin Leal shared a sack with Herbig. Safety Trenton Thompson intercepted a Kyle Trask pass. So, a total of five sacks and interceptions. Six folks pegged this answer. But we also got it right as a group as five was the median response.

Question 5: Kendrick Green played 32 snaps in the game. Twenty-seven at center and five on special teams. None were played at fullback or H-back. The median response at three snaps. No one got this question right.

Here are the consensus responses of Steelers Depot respondents compared to the correct answers:

As promised, here are the folks with the most points during the offseason. Just an informal ranking since many questions subjective. This Friday all five questions scorable. Four folks correctly answered three of four questions.

Thirteen questions from previous weeks yet to be answered:
