Pittsburgh’s offense has struggled in preseason games under new quarterbacks. Plus more on the Commanders, Vikings, Eagles and Cowboys in Albert Breer’s training camp notes.
I’m seeing my 24th and 25th teams of the past five weeks Wednesday as part of my annual NFL training camp tour, and then it’s back home. Until then, here’s a few notes to tide you over …
In other words, the Steelers’ offensive starters extended playing time in preseason reflect failure, and the need to get things right. And a sign of where they are at the position is how they rebuffed the San Francisco 49ers’ request for a player as part of any potential trade—which is why the Niners looked around at potential second trades, moving one of the picks coming from Pittsburgh—if they’d decided to take the Steelers’ offer .• And on the trade market—there are a good number of teams out there looking for edge rushers and corners.
• With Jayden Daniels officially the Washington Commanders’ starter, I’ll say this—the Jets people I talked to this week raved about how Daniels looked a couple of weeks ago against the star-studded New York defense, both during a rain-soaked joint practice, and their preseason game. • Interesting name to follow: Eagles edge rusher Jalyx Hunt. The third-round pick was actually a safety at Cornell after a decorated prep career as a receiver and defensive back, had a growth spurt, transferred to Houston Christian and became a defensive end. The first draft pickout of Houston Christian, the athletically gifted Hunt has translated to the NFL faster than Philly thought he would. I think the Eagles will be creative in getting him some run.
