Mike Lorello, We Hardly Knew Ye
The practice squad is set, and conspicuous by his absence among those names is BGEF fave Mike Lorello, who lacks NFL skills but not NFL mentality. Several of the Steelers' draft choices--Orien Harris, Cedric Humes, and Omar Jacobs--made the squad, as did rookie free agents Jon Dekker and Anthony Madison. This means that TE Charles Davis is the lone draft choice out of work; he was bumped by Jon Dekker, whom I wrote off after the first pre-season game. Shows what I know.
John Kuhn and Shaun Nua are back for their second year on the p-squad, and the roster is filled out by OT Brandon Torrey and British WR Marvin Allen.
Since my last post, I have watched the tape-delayed airing of the Steelers-Panthers "game," and I must say that I was impressed with Omar Jacobs' performance. It wasn't just the long throw to Walter Young; OJ was consistently quick and accurate with his throws, and he showed something he had yet to show: poise in the pocket. It will be interesting to see if he spends all year on the p-squad, or if he ascends to the 53-man roster at some point (perhaps when concerns over Chukky Okobi's health are abated and Marvin Philip is demoted).
Next stop: football season!
