The Steelers special teams unit has played very good football so far this preseason. This Sunday, in the third preseason game we got to see the first team offense and defense, and we got to see the primary special teams players in action. The lineups were consistent throughout most of the first half, so it gives a very clear picture of who is going to be playing on ST, and that, in turn, gives us a lot of information about how this roster is likely to be constructed.
I’m not going to talk about the field goal and PAT kicking, that’s a different unit and consists of a lot of offensive lineman, including starters.
