Watching online practices on NFL Network right now. Alejandro Villanova is an absolute monster compared to the rest of the other linemen. Mike Mayock and tunch ilkin are hosting the live practices it's awesome.
I watched that too. I want to see him in some game action. In the practice sets, he looks to not bend his knees enough and get low. He dwarfed Beachum, but if he is a waist bender in his pass sets and not as much knee, that might be an issue.
he dwarfed everyone on the field! I think he would dwarf The Undertaker. One hell of a physical specimen that's for sure.
Highlights include: More injuries Blanchflower was waived That Antonio Brown guy is having a otherworldly camp. He may just make the team.

Big Ben is becoming so in tune with Bell and Brown, he wont even have to throw the ball this year. Just teleport it into their hands as they moon walk into the end zone.

People are going to LOVE Timmons playing 10 yards off line of scrimmage "playing the sticks" in zone coverage like he did during 2-min today
he is going to destroy people this year.
(no more friendly fire though, please.)

Still interested in seeing what Isiah Lewis and Ian Wild do on special teams or safety. Still think Wild has an outside shot as a special teamer if Ventrone is injured the entire camp.

Steelers rookie thought James Harrison was a coach
By Rachel Wold
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison has not been in pads since training camp started, which is a privilege the veteran has earned. This led an unidentified Steelers rookie to conclude that Harrison was one of the team’s coaches.
In an interview with 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh, guard Ramon Foster told this story while not revealing the identity of the rookie:
“It was a young guy. I won’t say who it was,” Foster said. “He actually thought James was retired, and he was just here helping out. So everything that he’s seen him do in the weight room, he’s got to realize that that’s what he’s about to go through. So he was like, ‘man, I thought that dude was retired and helping out!’ I was like, ‘no, he’ll be out here real soon’, and ‘he’s like, oh.'”

Martavis Bryant stands out in return to Steelers practice
Jeremy Fowler, ESPN Senior NFL Writer
LATROBE, Pa. -- Martavis Bryant made his presence felt on the offensive end Tuesday after missing most of the last two weeks of the Pittsburgh Steelers' training camp with minor elbow surgery.
Bryant stretched out his body and got both feet in bounds on a touchdown catch to the corner of the end zone, but that wasn't the spectacular play. Ben Roethlisberger threw a 50-yarder Bryant's way, with safety Will Allen converging and corner Cortez Allen in tight coverage. No matter. Bryant set his feet and leaped over Allen for the grab, with Allen a half-step off. Not to overhype Bryant, who was relatively raw as a rookie in 2014 and couldn't handle much more than go routes, but once he masters every nuance of the offense, the potential production is scary.

Did you mean Phil McCrackin? Just kidding.
I love seeing the condition Bryant is in. He's definitely on a mission. Nice to see a young guy busting his hump to make something of himself. Not something you see often enough amongst these young whipper snappers.

Possibly. But if anyone is feeling slighted, it should be Wheaton. No one even talks about him anymore even though he has shown potential to be a solid receiver. If only we could draft corners like we draft receivers.

Expect all healthy Steelers to see action Friday, Tomlin says
August 12, 2015 By Gerry Dulac / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said all healthy players will appear in Friday night’s second preseason game in Jacksonville, though it has not been determined how long they will play.
That means all the top players who were held out of the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio on Sunday – Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell, Antonio Brown, Maurkice Pouncey, Heath Miller and even James Harrison – will play some limited amount of time against the Jaguars.
Tomlin said the only players who will not play are defensive end Dan McCullers, linebacker Vince Williams and safety Robert Golden, in addition to the three players who remain on the physically unable to perform list – quarterback Bruce Gradkowski, tackle Mike Adams and cornerback Senquez Golson.

atleast ben talks about him and expects him to have a breakout year.
everyone automatically assumes bryant will be the #2, but it will be wheaton. when they go 3-wide, wheaton will move inside to the slot and bryant will replace him.
wheaton is slighted. bryant is slighted. even antonio brown is still slighted. hell sammy coates is regarded as a "dri archer throw-away pick" and nobody thinks DHB can even make the team.
we are gonna have 1 HUNGRY WR corps.

Do not want to start a new thread on this, but Antonio Brown's agent continues to stir the pot on Brown having outplayed his contract
Agent Drew Rosenhaus was in Indianapolis for the past few days to hammer out a new contract for Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton. The negotiation was not done in secret behind closed doors. At least not all of it. Rosenhaus tweeted that he was at camp to work on a new deal with the Colts brass.
This morning, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Rosenhaus was flying to Jacksonville to work on an “improved” contract for Steelers receiver Antonio Brown.
Rosenhaus let the Steelers know in the spring Brown was not happy with his contract that has three years remaining on it. The Steelers did not budge then because they don’t normally renegotiate contracts with that much time left on the contracts.
Has anything changed with the Steelers and their stance on reworking contracts?
That would be surprising.
Could this be Rosenhaus trying to keep Brown happy?
Maybe.
Rosenhaus was Brown’s agent in 2012 when he signed his $42 million contract. Then he reportedly switch agents, going with Jay Z’s Rock Nation. Then it was back to Rosenhuas.
Brown is a special player, but it remains hard to believe the Steelers would tear up a contract that has three years remaining on it. If they did the Steelers would have a long line of players out the door of general manager Kevin Colbert’s office asking for new contracts.
Hilton, a childhood friend of Brown, is the latest young receiver to earn a big contract. Following in the footsteps of Dez Bryant and DeMaryius Thomas, the Colts signed Hilton to a $65 million contract with a reported $39 million guaranteed.
Rosenhaus needs to put down the crack pipe if he thinks leaking this to Adam Schefter (whom I have concluded is just a hack who will tweet whatever is leaked to him after Schefter became a stenographer this summer for whatever Brady's attorneys were leaking and then released Jason Pierre-Paul's medical records) will get anywhere with the Rooneys
