Teryl Austin on James Pierre's performance vs the Buccaneers:

"He plays hard. But I thought he left some plays out there that he could've made…I think he's still in a position where he brings good value. But is he the 4th CB or the 5th CB and special teams guy? We don't know."

Haven’t seen Cam Heyward or Larry Ogunjobi so far today.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 13, 2023

Kenny Pickett and Darnell Washington got some throws in today during the QB – skill players drills. That’s notable. He still caught some from Trubisky but previously all of his reps were with Trubisky.

Calvin Austin jet sweep goes for about 26 yards.

Kendrick Green is at fullback again. Trubisky hits him in the flat and he stiff arms James Pierre into the shadow realm. Rumbled for about 20 yards.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 13, 2023

For fullback lovers, Rosie Nix is in the house today.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 13, 2023

Huge screen play to Jaylen Warren. 40 yard rip before he got touched.

Steelers installing lots of screens.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 13, 2023

Dez Fitzpatrick having a nice practice. Catches a slant and creates about 10 yards of YAC. He’s in a good spot for a PS spot.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 13, 2023

Kenny Pickett throws a great pass to Diontae Johnson on a good go ball against Patrick Peterson. 30 yard gain on the toe tapping grab.

George Pickens with an absurdly strong hands catch. Damontae Kazee had his hand in there and Pickens just wrestled it away anyways.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 13, 2023

Broderick Jones took 1 rep wit the 1s in team third down period. He went to left and Dan Moore to right.

— Ray Fittipaldo (@rayfitt1) August 13, 2023

James Pierre goes up and over Calvin Austin III for a nice pick. Pierre has had good and bad moments. Lot of reps. TA said today he’s still in running for CB4.

— Alan Saunders (@ASaunders_PGH) August 13, 2023

Well, a double drop. First, Gunner Olszewski drops the crosser and then James Pierre drops the the drop.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 13, 2023

Cody White just made the play he couldn’t on Friday. Great diving grab on a wheel route out of the slot.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 13, 2023

Great rep by Broderick Jones against DeMarvin Leal. Leal tried to hit him inside but Jones throws him backwards..

Next rep Jones does a great job throwing Leal around the arc and stuffing him.

Series of three, Jones won 2 of 3.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 13, 2023

Nick Herbig just unveiled a spin move and made Spencer Anderson looked silly.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 13, 2023

A lot of what I’d cal thud tackling today (keeping guys up) but the LBs and DBs have made up for that by being extremely physical in trying to get the ball out. Several late PBUs/borderline fumbles. Pierre just ripped one away from Dez Fitzpatrick.

— Alan Saunders (@ASaunders_PGH) August 13, 2023

Broderick Jones just stuffed Nick Herbig twice after Herbig called him out. Two great reps by 77. He’s looking good in these one on ones.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 13, 2023

OLB Toby Ndukwe landed on his wrist awkwardly. Getting it looked at.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 13, 2023

This practice is the best that Broderick Jones has looked in pass pro so far at training camp. Mixed in the first team as well. Good day.

— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 13, 2023
