The initial snap counts from the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday night preseason loss to the Carolina Panthers are now in and here’s a few observations from the numbers.
Tackles Alejandro Villanueva and Ryan Harris both had to play Thursday night as long as quarterback Landry Jones was in the game and head coach Mike Tomlin explained this at halftime as he said he wanted to make sure that the backup had protection on the edges.
I find it interesting that linebacker L.J. Fort only played 4 special teams snaps against the Panthers.
