A lot of recent Pittsburgh Steelers roster talk has centered around how many linebackers the team will keep on the final 53, and if Anthony Chickillo’s name will be among those chosen. I’ve made the case that it should be, but the coaching staff has been very reluctant to give him more snaps over Shayon Green and even Howard Jones at times during camp and the preseason. Chickillo took snaps on the right side during the team’s first preseason game, so he’s definitely prepared to man both spots if necessary. I would love to see him get opportunities to play with Bud Dupree over Green, as Chickillo has clearly been more effective and is a better player in space.
