El viernes termina la Pretemporada NFL 2021 de los Steelers y veremos el último juego de preparación del equipo antes del kickoff. El coach Mike Tomlin ya anunció que varios titulares clave, e incluso algunos suplentes, no jugarán en contra de Carolina, pero eso no quiere decir que no tengamos historias a seguir en este partido, el cuál se llevará a cabo el viernes a las 6:30 PM hora CDMX en Carolina. Aquí te presento las más destacadas.
James Pierre
Sin duda la posición de cornerback es una de las que más interés ha tenido durante el Training Camp. Creo que este partido puede ser un buen termómetro para saber qué opinan los Steelers de James Pierre (42) y si lo ven parte de la rotación del perímetro. La batalla ha sido entre él, Arthur Maulet (35), y Justin Layne (31). Probablemente el que tenga menor cantidad de jugadas en este partido será el ganador.
Dwayne Haskins como QB titular
Ni Big Ben, ni Mason Rudolph jugarán este partido, por lo que es posible que Dwayne Haskins sea el QB3 de este equipo en el 2021. Habrá que seguir de cerca su desempeño.
La batalla de pateadores de despeje
No es uno de los enfrentamientos más llamativos, pero creo que la batalla de pateadores de despeje es bastante interesante, sobre todo porque hemos tenido pocos momentos para evaluarlos durante los partidos de pretemporada. Parece que Pressley Harvin III ha tenido los momentos más destacados, pero Jordan Berry podría cambiar la percepción con un gran encuentro. Me parece que los Steelers van a darle oportunidad a ambos pateadores este viernes.
De hecho podríamos ver una renovación casi total en los elementos clave de equipos especiales (fuera de Chris Boswell). También hay que seguir el duelo entre long snappers.
La última oportunidad de varios jugadores para integrar el roster de 53
Generalmente los equipos ya tienen definidos entre 40 y 45 lugares del roster. El resto está peleando por continuar su sueño en la NFL y este tercer partido será vital para definir quién tomará estos 10/15 lugares disponibles con los Steelers, así como el practice squad. Vamos a ver jugadores no muy reconocidos que dejarán todo su esfuerzo por mantenerse en el equipo.
