Steelers Make Roster Moves

Steelers Make Roster Moves

PITTSBURGH ─ The Steelers have signed rookie free agent running back Jawon Chisholm, the team announced today.

Chisholm was a tryout participant in the team’s 2015 rookie mini-camp in May. He played collegiately at the University of Akron. Chisholm will wear No. 49 (offense).

To make room for Chisholm and cornerback Brandon Boykin, the team released tight end Michael Egnew and placed rookie running back Ross Scheuerman on the team’s Waived/Injured List.

There goes my hope that Michael Egnew would return to the form that made him one of the top TE's in college in 2010 and lead the nation with 78 receptions in the season. Time to watch for James and Blanchflower going forward.

The Mike Adams haters at steelersdepot must be furious. once again, their absurd speculation that mike is in danger of losing his roster spot is shot down-

Offensive Line

No real surprises here as the offensive line remains intact from 2014. Mike Adams, despite having back surgery and missing the entire preseason so far, remains as the second string tackle along with Alejandro Villenueva. The interior of the line is anchored by Chris Hubbard and the versatile Cody Wallace.

They are currently distracted by the fact that Landry Jones IS NOT being outplayed by Taj Boyd, Devin Gardner or the INT machine kid from Boston College.

How dare Ed Boushitt say the following in his chat...Ed Bouchette: Landry Jones has really come on lately and looks sharp. http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/steelers/2015/08/04/Ed-Bouchette-s-Steelers-chat-transcript-59/stories/201508040167

• The Steelers claimed rookie tight end Ray Hamilton (6-foot-4, 252, Iowa) off waivers from the Cowboys and placed Rob Blanchflower on the waived/injured list.

We have signed free agent DT Joe Okafor & placed DE Clifton Geathers on the Reserve/Injured List.

Not surprised by Geathers' move to IR. Looked slow, sore walking up/down steps at cafeteria last 2 days.

Steelers sign former Towson safety Jordan Dangerfield and waived-injured safety Isaiah Lewis

Yinz remember Dangerfield. He was with the #Steelers last camp and this past spring. He didn't get any respect, but that could change.

Friday news and notes

Clifton Geathers, we barely knew you.

Geathers, who was talked about a lot by the coaching staff in the offseason, was placed on the Waived/Injured List Friday. Undrafted rookie defensive end Joe Okafor was signed to take his place on the roster.

With Geathers gone, that means the much-maligned Cam Thomas is all but assured a roster spot on this team again this year.

In fact, even before Geathers began sitting out practices earlier this week, it was becoming evident that Thomas was making a push. Quite frankly, he had been better than Geathers, who at 6-8 didn't seem to play with the leverage needed to be a force in the run game.

That won't be good news to many Steelers fans, who have lasting memories of Thomas getting pushed around on defense last season after signing as a free agent with the team.

But he does look better in this training camp than he did last year. Is he a starter? Nope. The Steelers are pretty set there with Cam Heyward, Steve McLendon and Stephon Tuitt. And Daniel McCullers will likely be the backup nose tackle.

But Thomas will see some action this season as a reserve defensive end.

Of the other young defensive ends, I probably like Joe Kruger the best, but it's an "eh" group. The games got a lot more important for those guys.

I do like young nose tackle Mike Thornton, but he's not pushing anyone off the 53-man roster.
