I am a team first guy as well. Obviously we get “attached” to players but in
the end , especially in 2022, players come and go but the team remains. The
team has a tradition I feel I am apart of and that is not likely to change like
the roster. At least they will always play at Heinz Field…oh wait

All of this, Scott. I feel for Mason. That said, I've always been Steelers
first, players after...except for my all-time #1, number 95
Thanks,

The best part is the amount of drama that ensued over the depth chart release.
I actually was not surprised by the initial depth chart. Mason is the veteran
backup who knows the system. Not having Kenny as #2 might have alleviated some
of the pressure on Mitch with Kenny as the monkey on his back the whole time.
Starting Kenny as #3 might keep the ego in check and you also do it to see how
he responds. Ben was #3 when camp started as a rookie and was ONLY #2 because
Charlie got hurt, its just how we do business.
Of course, MT changes that all up today and KP8 is #2. I don't see a short
leash on Mitch to be honest. I also think the team knows the OL is horrific and
would rather have Mitch struggle than their rookie.
Mason has been a standup guy which I give him credit for, but honestly if I
were him those days would be gone. He played some of his best football here and
has been a model citizen.
He should be asking to be traded. He is better than plenty of backups out there
and could likely see playing time depending on failures and injuries.

Watching the Tomlin Presser, and they only have 1 mic in front of him, and then
the video starts to glitch, then the audio garbles, then finally disappears.
Meaning, we will likely not hear anything right from Mike and we'll get this
all through the media with no audio.
THIS, combined with the Clerical Error having Mason #2, makes me believe we
have a lot of people already not committed to doing their jobs. Hope the
actual team can do better.
