If the final preseason game was important to anybody on the Pittsburgh Steelers last night in a positive way, then it may well have been long snapper Christian Kuntz, whom many expected would have been a part of the second roster cutdowns last week. After he survived those cuts, head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about whether or not he had a legitimate chance of defeating Kameron Canaday, and he confirmed that it very much was a competition.
Kuntz played the entire first half of the Steelers’ third preseason game last week, working with Pressley Harvin III as the holder for Chris Boswell, and one wonders if that were not designed to give the coaches a look at what the field goal unit would look like with those new pieces out there.
