Why? Because they know it will create discussion. It is a solid business model for a site trying to drive traffic to their website, and NBC Sports as a part of Pro Football Talk, among others, is near the top of the heap when it comes to this style of online journalism.One of the things NBC Sports does well are their constant thread of articles, and writers like Peter King on staff. There aren’t many more who are more respected than King, and King knows how to stir up the NFL landscape. His latest article was a 1-32 Post-NFL Draft Power Rankings article.While we all recognize these rankings are meaningless, it is a good place to take a look at how your favorite team Benny Snell Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey , in this case the Pittsburgh Steelers, stack up against their peers in the NFL.For the beloved black-and-gold, it seems like ages ago when they were considered a Top 5 team on rankings like this one. They always applauded the offensive line, franchise quarterback and the ‘Killer B’s’. While the quarterback and line remain the same, plenty of other aspects have changed.After the 2019 NFL Draft, and the Steelers adding 9 players to their current roster, Peter King has decided the Steelers are closer to the back of the pack than the front. In fact, he has them as the third best team in the AFC North!Take a look at the latest rankings below, and let us know what you think in the comment section below!1. Kansas City Chiefs2. New England Patriots3. Indianapolis Colts4. Los Angeles Rams5. Los Angeles Chargers6. New Orleans Saints7. San Francisco 49ers8. Philadelphia Eagles9. Chicago Bears10. Minnesota Vikings...11. Cleveland Browns12. Baltimore Ravens...18. PITTSBURGH STEELERS (9-6-1)It’s going to be peaceful in Pittsburgh without the weekly (daily?) questions about Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown. But with all the distractions and discord last year, the Steelers still averaged 26.8 points per game, and I’ll be surprised if they reach those heights this year. Steelers players might find it more placid coming to work and games this year with Antonio Brown 2 Benny Snell Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey ,300 miles away, but how are they replacing Brown’s 115 catches a year over the last five seasons? With James Washington? Donte Moncrief? Doubt it. More likely, Pittsburgh turns to the man who cost them first, second and third-round picks on draft day, linebacker Devin Bush, and hopes he can be the sideline-to-sideline presence Ryan Shazier was until that fateful night in Cincinnati late in the 2017 season. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger admitted his elbow injury has been bothering him since the opener, and that it was affecting the way he threw last week.So they’re going to give it a week off to see if that helps.Via聽Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Steelers offensive聽coordinator Randy Fichtner said Roethlisberger won’t throw during the coming bye week, which follows Sunday’s game against the Bengals.鈥淚 don鈥檛 know that it鈥檚 completely healthy,鈥?Fichtner said of that Roethlisberger鈥檚 right elbow. “But I don鈥檛 know that in any given season anyone 鈥?or any arm 鈥?is going to be completely healthy all the time.鈥淲e try to do the right things to manage numbers of throws in the week, and I know that after this weekend he will get an extended rest and it will be good for him. But as far as being able to make throws Benny Snell Jersey 2019 , he can make the throws, and as far as practice, he can practice.鈥漇ince injuring the elbow in the first game, Roethlisberger hasn’t practiced on a Wednesday since. He said the pain caused him to adjust his mechanics last week, but the results were poor, so he played through more pain in the second half to throw the way he’s accustomed to.The Steelers can use the bye week to give Joshua Dobbs and Mason Rudolph more work, but it’s clear that Roethlisberger’s health is their primary concern, and keeping him ready for the rest of a long season is the priority.
