Pittsburgh Steelers preseason : The good, the bad and the ugly
The Ugly
Inside Linebacker
Calling Navarro Bowman or Lawrence Timmons….
It’s been a very ugly preseason for both Tyler Matakevich and Jon Bostic. Their flat out bad play has made the draft day neglect of the position even more glaring. Josey Jewell, who was linked to the team in early mock drafts (in the second or third round) has played well for the Broncos and would have made a nice addition. But alas, GM Kevin Colbert went in other directions.
Watching the Matakevich/Bostic horror show makes the need to add a vet at the position a near must at this point. Timmons knows the system and would be a decent stop gap. Bowman is smart enough to pick up any system quickly. Adding one would be smart.

Nice knowing you Jordan Berry.
Berry’s struggles continue into the preseason. He was average last year and has been far below average this preseason. Consistency has been his hobgoblin since he entered the league and it has only grown worse.
Next. 3 players making the Steelers roster, 3 who aren't. dark
For a team right on the cusp of a Super Bowl berth, they cannot afford to be weak in any facet. Berry will be an ex-Steeler soon.
