Rayshawn Jenkins

Right

... see Rayshawn Jenkins the rest of the game.

What does that mean?

Right.

There's a fourth player who started, but he was the seventh round pick.

Robert Spears-Jennings had but one tackle, a solo to show for his day, but what I was told after the game was that he had one of the more impressive overall efforts of any of the young guys, and he looked like somebody who's gonna continue starting ahead of the veteran Rayshawn Jenkins.

Now, we'll see what kind of impact Deshaun Elliott's return would have at some point, but for now, he's the seventh round rookie holding off the veteran, and he's doing so on merit.

So am I, uh, am I forgetting? Oh, yeah, my dude, Gabe Rubio.

He was the only other safety that played in the defense.

Uh, Rayshawn Jenkins only had special team snaps for the Steelers in this game.

So it was Brisker and Spears-Jennings with some Ramsey sprinkled in there as well, or just going with one safety from time to time with Patrick Graham's defense.

But very clearly, Spears-Jennings has worked himself past Jenkins in the pecking order on the actual defense.

I-- and that has been one thing that I think has been a little disappointing.

Um, but Rayshawn Jenkins, you know, hasn't played well.

I think Robert Harris Jennings has a chance to maybe add some juice there.

But the linebacker play has been up and down, too.

It hasn't felt like they've had a game where Peyton Wilson and Patrick Queen were both playing well, um, a- and I think that's one that they're still waiting for.
