For the sixth year in a row, it very much appears as though the Pittsburgh Steelers are set to carry nose tackle Daniel McCullers on the 53-man roster. to what capacity and frequency he actually plays during the regular season remains very much up for debate, and my hinge upon the team’s belief in Tyson Alualu or rookie Isaiah Buggs seeing nose tackle snaps.
It is the case that he has stepped up his game somewhat over the past year and a half, due in part to the fact that he knew he had to start earning contracts after his rookie deal expired, and part to the more beneficial instructional approach Karl Dunbar takes with him that John Mitchell did not.
