One of our goals at this website is to try to provide valuable coverage of the Pittsburgh Steelers in areas of the game that are underemphasized by other venues. To that end, we started doing this weekly special teams report last season. With the regular season underway, it has returned.
The Steelers’ ‘starting’ kickoff grouping is notable for including Xavier Grimble, who had been benched last season and made a healthy scratch. After he got a helmet again, he strived to make himself more valuable on special teams. Stevan Ridley and himself were the two ‘deep’ players.
