Friday Night Happy Hour: Practice squad edition
Behind the Steel Curtain Behind the Steel Curtain

Welcome back to BTSC’s Friday night open thread.

  1. Asante Samuel Jr. is the latest Steeler, a once-coveted free agent cornerback who’s now on the Pittsburgh practice squad. How impactful do you think this signing actually is?
  2. The Steelers are coming off two wildly different games — a big win versus the Colts and an even bigger loss against the Chargers. Which game was more indicative of the team Pittsburgh really is?
  3. The Steelers’ wide receiver depth has become a topic of concern following Sunday’s loss. Would you consider elevating Marquez Valdes-Scantling from the practice squad this week? Would it even make a difference?
  4. If one part of the Steelers offense has been a pleasant surprise recently, it’s the right side of the offensive line. The left side, however, has been a bit more up and down. This offseason, with Broderick Jones’ fifth-year option decision due and Isaac Seumalo reaching free agency, what would you do?
  5. Past-their-prime greats have been the theme of the Steelers quarterback room of the past several years. How would rank late-career Ben Roethlisberger, Russell Wilson, and Aaron Rodgers’ time in Pittsburgh?
  6. I recently played an older Mario Kart title with some friends and was hit with a heavy dose of nostalgia. Are there any past video games that have the same effect on you?
