Steelers waiver wire and practice squad news

PrintThe 24-hour deadline for clearing waivers after yesterday's 6pm cuts is approaching quickly, and things seem to be heating up. There have been two claims of former Steelers announced thus far, and we'll be updating this post as more news becomes available.
First off: according to Adam Schefter, Kraig Urbik has been claimed off waivers by the Buffalo Bills. The Steelers were probably hoping to sign him to the practice squad, so it'll be interesting to see if he sticks with the Bills, or ends up coming back a la Sunny Harris last year.
The AP is reporting that LB Patrick Bailey has been claimed by the Tennessee Titans, where he'll join Nate Washington and Chris Hope - is it too early to start calling Tennessee the Steelers Midwest?
UPDATE: thanks to dru_dead for this tip: insidepittsburghsports is reporting that Frank Summers has been signed to the practice squad. This is according to "a league source", so treat this one as unconfirmed for now.
UPDATE 2: Adam Schefter reports that Stefan Logan has been claimed by the Detroit Lions - he made it all the way to the second team with a chance at him.
UPDATE 3: Via steelers.com, here's your 2010 Practice Squad roster:
- TE Eugene Bright
- OG Dorian Brooks
- S Da’Mon Cromartie-Smith
- WR Tyler Grisham
- OT Kyle Jolly
- DT Steve McLendon
- FB Frank Summers
- DE Doug Worthington.
The lack of Urbik is probably the only big surprise on that list - he surely would have been signed if he had cleared waivers. I personally am very glad (though not shocked) to see that Tyler Grisham and Doug Worthington cleared waivers. It's also interesting to note that Sunny Harris didn't make it.
UPDATE 4 (by syrsteelerfan, 9/7):
According to RavensInsider (first mention I've seen) the Steelers have signed Saints DT Al Woods, a 2010 4th Round pick, lending credence to this overheard conversation:
I was eating brunch this morning in Shadyside when in walked Mike Tomlin with his family. They sat at the booth right behind mine. Tomlin got a call on his cell phone during brunch from someone named Kevin. He started talking about Al Woods, a Saints draft pick from LSU, how he had been cut by the Saints, how he's a massive guy, and asked what it would take to get him. He seemed pretty excited about it. So, I'd look out for Al Woods landing with the Steelers sometime.
He replaces Doug Worthington on the practice squad.

Summers signed to PS
After passing up offers from other teams. Says he has “unfinished business in Pittsburgh”. Personally i could care less about Summers, im more concerned about Worthington and Harris… Hopefully no one (Cleveland) scoops them up…

Not a fan
I’m in agreement – I never liked Summers. I was one of those upset a year ago when we waived Redman and kept Summers. Personally, I’ve yet to see him make a decent run, and I’ve never seen him block anyone. Seems like he misses everyone he tries to hit, or I see him going the opposite way the ballcarrier is going.
hes more of a big running back than a blocker, but we didnt really run him that much

something tells me that Owen is alot better at the FB position than Summers
seeing as how he played that position at WVU, broke 15 facemasks due to blocking and can hang clean 500 lbs+. I would take a shot at Owen “The Runaway Beertruck” Schmitt

A Good Choice
I liked him at WVU. He would be a “great” addition. We should sign him to the practice squad and let him get to learn our system.
dont they have to be on the active roster not PS

Buffalo picked up Urbik because he can run block all day long
If they don’t a ZBS, he will be great for them.

U beat me 2 it with the S. Logan to Detroit news ...
I saw where Cleveland has signed 6 people to its practice squad and it doesn’t include any Steelers players (S. Harris or D. Worthington). If they get by the Broncos, then we stand a good chance of getting both on the practice squad.
Any further proof that Josh McDaniels is way over his head when you trade a future no. 1 pick for an undersized CB and then trade him the next year for a tight end that another team was going to cut? Thank goodness this team’s front office is who it is. It might miss on someone, but it usually doesn’t get fleeced.
wishing logan good luck in detroit
glad he landed in the NFC! I’m hoping he runs one back on the Jets, Pats, Favres, and most especially the Cowboys…

Worthington
Hope we can keep Worthington (sign him to the PS). I think that with a little more experience he will be a good replacement for one of our aging DE’s.
When will we sign PS players?
I looked at CLK’s post about the PS, but it is not there. It was speculated that they do it in draft order, does anyone know when we will go?
Things can always be worse....
I think we already went,
Just waiting for news to break as far as i can tell.

Frank Summers, Own Schmitt, and Bruce Ariens
Frank Summers is a power running back who struggles with blocking. Owen Schmitt is a traditional fullback with a mean streak who excels at blocking. I had hoped the Steelers would draft him after it became painfully obvious (on short yardage situations) that getting rid of Dan Kreider had been a major mistake (ask Willie Parker for an objective opinion:<).
Of course, BA doesn’t believe in using fullbacks who can run, catch, AND clear the path for other runners. He prefers (if forced by the owner) to put an extra lineman in the backfield to make up for the deficiencies of his offensive line.
a RB cant play FB, ask Summers, because right now our best option of a FB is Legurski (which i dont have a problem with) but “god forbid” he would need to start center, we would have a superior lead blocker for our RBs

i do like the pony backfield with Mendenhall and Redman, but thats only because well we can hand it off to Mendy or Redman, doesnt favor blocking to much, Redman is improving on his blocking though. i just dont think anything could beat Schmitt at FB, Redman at HB, on goal line, hand it off to Redman with Schmitt leading the way to the endzone. unbeatable.

Correct me if I'm wrong
But wasn’t Franco drafted as a FB? I seem to remember him and Rocky running pretty good together where they took turns running or blocking for each other.
Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to have a FB who is also an offensive threat. I’d much rather have Redman and Mendenhall in a pony backfield then just have a blocking fullback.
Fullback
Was a lot different back then though
Bleeding Black and Gold.....forever
by Michael Hewitt on Sep 6, 2010 9:34 PM EDT up reply actions
The only reason Franco was a fullback at Penn State was because the starting tailback was a player by the name of Lydell Mitchell. Franco was most definitely the tailback and Rocky was the fullback. However like steeler underscore mentioned the fullback was used differently then it was in the Bettis era. The Steelers lined up a lot in split back formations rather than an I.
Correct
What they used back then is basically about the same as the Pony backfield that Arians said he wanted to start using. But has said in the past he hasn’t had the right two RBs to do so. Which I guess means he had to have one back that could could be used as either a RB or FB along with Mendy on the field at the same time.

Please stink it up this year, Mike Pouncey. Please. If everyone sees that he sucks without Maurkice, then nobody will tag him, and we can catch him as a sleeper in the 2nd or 3rd round.

not if Mike Pouncey stays at center for florida this year
With a performance like saturday, he’ll be available in the 5th round for us as a center. Having about 10 botched snaps in a game doesn’t impress the scouts the last time I checked.
Draft him late, then we just need to move him back to his natural position at RG.
Good
As long as we don’t try Mike at center also. He sucked in the first game. Hope Miami’s Coach puts him back at guard and gets him acclimated at that position. Would love to see the brothers Pouncey side by side on our “O” line in 2011.

He was going to be a RFA this year, and his visions of self worth were well beyond his ability before he was injured. He was a slowish tackle to start with, now after tearing that tendon he’ll be like a glacier.
I think it took him a few years to fully get up to NFL game speed

Franco made that play because he never quit on the play. He kept running, he kept hustling. Good things happen to people who hustle."
Harris hasn’t been claimed yet right? Feel like we would’ve heard by now if he was. Then maybe Dorian Brooks and DCS. I’d throw in a TE scooped up from somewhere because I’m not the biggest fan of Eugene Bright.
If McLendon gets healthy he might be added down the line, but Worthington/Harris/McLendon might be a lot of DL on the practice squad at one time. And when Chris Scott comes off the PUP list he’s bound to land on the pants squad soon after.

I’m thinking they’ll sign two of the DL trio
Dick, what would Woody (Hayes) say to you now: "He'd say, 'LeBeau, get your hair cut.'"
I wish we would have
1) cut Hills
2) moved Essex to backup LT/G replacing Hills
3) annointed Foster the starter at RG
4) kept Harris or Worthington on the 53
Our RG spot may have been slightly weaker by doing this because Essex is the better pass blocker and line continuity would be further challenged (we’d have three new starters, in other words 60% of the line would be new). However, Foster is a better run blocker anyway and we’ll run more while Ben’s gone.
Our line would be stronger overall however because Essex is a better option than Hills to fill in for Starks if he goes down. Essex also has better position flexibility than Hills, allowing us to keep 8 OL instead of 9. This would allow us to keep and groom for the future, a seventh defensive lineman, Worthington or Harris.
Now we have to hope no one scoops them off our pants squad. Given that they even make it there…

Hills has improved signifigantly this offseason
essex might have better position flexibility than hills, but i wouldnt feel comfortable having him playing at any of the 5 line spots. hills has played far above expectations this preseason, and im glad we kept him
yea
now if he can make that next leap and push for willie colon’s job then not only will that make the FO look smart, it will help our team so that they can focus on other areas in next yrs draft, I’m not having too much hope about foster we might need to draft mike pouncey, we don’t need him to snap, maybe with his bad snaping he’ll fall to a 3 round pick

Agreed about Foster, disagreed about Hills
I dont see Hills taking that next big leap. I hope im wrong but i see him as a career backup. If someones a career backup i want them to have position flexibility.
Im not holding out hope on Foster either, as far as being a long term starter. I see him as a good backup swing G/T, just like Essex.
In next years draft i see us going
1. NT
2. OG
3. FS
This is the last year for both Hills and Essex imo.

You mean 6 incidentally. That is a long time in the NFL. that being said I trust the coaches to evaluate him and know that he’s good to go. I think he rotates in a little but not much (Hampton is only in there for like 20 snaps a game anyway)

Tackle is a totally different position than center and guard, You need a good Tackle to back-up your starters and spell them, playing Guard is a boost, but Tackle is a much more important position and you don’t want to gamble there.
Bearded D
Ok, youve convinced me, Hills stays. Hopefully he continues to progress. Now that Worthington is back in the fold I can see this more rationally. If we lose the bearded D to another team tho ill probably freak out again, just sayin…

Kugler
Most of the improved O line players, I believe needs to be credited to Kugler the new OL coach. I too am anxious to see how the OL does through out the 2010 season.
With coach Kugs influence and If Colon comes back. I think with a strong good young RG from the 2011 draft the Steelers offense both run and pass would be awesome.

Agreed on Kugs, he seems to be a huge upgrade over coach porn. Id actually like to see a stud LG taken and Kemo moved to RG when the rook is ready. In the meantime the rook starts at RG? I second the post that says Colons done, as this was the last year of his contract plus the injury.
Im bummed that we apparently lost Worthington for the Saints fourth round DT. I would have rather seen McClendon or Summers go instead. As it sits now we have two potential replacements for Hoke and none for Eason, let alone Keisel… As we know theyre all getting older, but maybe since theyre Dlinemen in a 34 maybe they have a few more years left.

McClendon stays because he projects as NT from what I understand. Woods will be converted to DE based on steelerdepot twitter feed. That means we would have had two DE and no NT on PS if McClendon was cut.

He slimmed down to about 315 last season
having been much heavier in the past, about 340 iirc
Interestingly Jay Ratliff is reportedly at 6-4 310 so if Woods can play at that sort of weight, that’d still a NT.

not really
dallas uses him as more of an athletic play-maker than strictly a block-eating NT – I doubt that woods is so great a talent that LeBeau would change his scheme for him. See: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/football/cowboys/stories/063010dnspocowpositiondt.e9b37e67.html

Goes perfectly with his middle name, Emptybackfieldonfourthandone.
Ebfoao is actually his middle name.
But got it right it stands for EmptyBackfieldOnFourthAndOne.
I wasn’t pleased because we didn’t win - Mike Tomlin (after the 2009 week 2 loss to Chicago).
I like the name
I don’t know why everyone is hung up on a fullback. If I have the choice I have Redman Mendy in short yardage. Redman can block and run. Ive seen Mendy block too. They are fine without a fullback.
Well we're going to have to be fine
since we’ve got a better chance of seeing God than we do a fullback with our OC. Sad but true.
When the tailgate drops, the BS stops. Shut up and play!
Agreed about Logan
Too, Patrick Bailey outperformed all of the rookies on ST this preseason and I wish him well in Tennessee.
Here is my guess at the PS knowing what what we know at the present:
1. FB Summers
2. G/C Brooks (would have been Urbik if not claimed by Buffalo)
3. DE Worthington
4. DL Harris
5. WR Grisham
6. S DC-S
7. TE Bright
8. S Thornton
It seems to be taking an extraordinary amount of time for the FO to announce the PS. Maybe something bigger is brewing.
Harris not on the practice squad
The Steelers site has listed the 8 practice squad players.
“The players added to the Steelers practice squad include: TE Eugene Bright, OG Dorian Brooks, S Da’Mon Cromartie-Smith, WR Tyler Grisham, OT Kyle Jolly, DT Steve McLendon, FB Frank Summers and DE Doug Worthington.”
No mention of Sunny Harris. Damn. Cant find any other news about him.

Too bad about Harris
…but im stoked about Worthington and DC-S. McClendon could be Hoke’s replacement next year. Hoke will probably retire after this year, too bad, i love that dude. Harris didnt bring the same intensity this year. So if we were gonna lose one of Harris/Worthington im glad it was Harris. Did we even try to sign Harris? Just wondering. Im also happy w Brooks, maybe he can replace Essucks, lol jk.

Ed Bouchette says
The pony express is back and Ed thinks Redman can block and run well. They’re gonna throw in TE Johnson on occasion to block.
Take out Lefty, who do you cut if we get a fullback and will you trust him more than Redman, who is a beast. I really like the Pony Express formation. It will give us another option for the defense to worry about. They can’y focus on one back.
who do you cut
Battle, ARE, Madison, Maybe Mundy or a Rookie LB would all be potential cuts.
Personally I’d get rid of Lefty and if the whole team is still healthy in week 5 cut Battle or ARE.
I think Mundy’s role could be covered by Butler or Lewis if needed.

I don't think it was a mistake
but it was a very difficult choice for the team. I like Stephen Logan and I think his ST play was very good but Brown and Sanders were too good to lose and the I think the team felt they needed Battle for veteran depth at WR. Detroit should be thrilled to have him and I hope he does very well there.
If the Steelers are desperate for an ex-CFL KR they could probably steal Larry Taylor off the Jets PS.

The way teams picked up rookie RB's on waivers this weekend ...
there is no way Dwyer would have made it to the practice squad. Just hope that the kid can learn how to pass block before he gets a QB killed. As far as a runner, he appears to have the skill to be productive. Believe that a redshirt year will be great for him.

I like the way he ran that last preseason game. Quick feet like a young Bettis. Now if he can just stay focused , get the playbook down and come back next camp in shape. He really could be something good.

He’s a little tall but Tomlin may not be looking for an exact Hampton replacement, we know his ideal player is often a bit different than Cowher’s.
Woods is big and strong but raw and unfinished. His weight was WAY up there, which is part of the reason I think he could be a NT.

Woods
This is a pretty interesting move, even though it’s only on the PS. Woods, unlike Harris or Worthington, could fit in very nicely as a DE in our defense, but he needs some work, and more importantly, he needs motivation. I find this interesting mainly because we’re stashing a poor character athlete on our PS, which we usually fill with low-upside backup-types like Scott Paxson.
Here’s a scouting report
charity standing orders
It says something
that an athletic DT with potential that they sunk a 4th rounder into got cut out of his first camp. He must have really fizzled.

Don’t know anything about DT Al Woods but the practice squad is pretty much like a bus stop. People will be getting on and getting off this bus all season. I got a feeling that we’ll be seeing Harris and Worthingto again. Was definitely hoping either could have beat out Eason but they couldn’t do it. He outplayed both of the youngsters. Let’s see what type of identity this team will develop. I would still start Batch over Dixon, but I appreciate Tomlin giving young guys a shot.
