Steelers roster cuts analysis

ESPN’s Scott Brown analyzed the roster moves made by the Steelers on Saturday. He decided that the most significant cut was that of nine-year veteran Guy Whimper from the offensive line. He also noted just how thin the Steelers have left themselves at OLB with Arthur Moats and Terence Garvin serving as backups. Neither Chris Carter or rookie Howard Jones made the cut although Jones is likely to end up on the practice squad. Brown also reminds us that the 53 men listed on the roster now aren’t a lock to be the 53 men once the regular season starts citing that the team can pick up other players who were waived as early as noon Sunday.
