FINAL CUTS

I was surprised by a few of the final cuts this year. Here are the cuts:
LB Patrick Bailey
CB Joe Burnett
S Da'Mon Cromartie-Smith
WR Tyler Grisham
DE Sunny Harris
C Justin Hartwig
KR Stefan Logan
DE Steve McClendon
FB Frank Summers
G Craig Urbik
DE Doug Worthington

Depending if you watched the game Thursday or not you might be surprised that Patrick Bailey was cut. He was the Steelers rookie of the year in 2008, but has mostly been a special teams performer since. Thursday he was all over the field making tackles and blowing up plays. Maybe they told him he was going to get cut so he went all out to look good for another team. He has made an impression in other preseason games too.
Unfortunately Justin Hartwig had to go. It would have been nice to have him as an insurance policy behind Pouncey or another line position.
Sunny Harris was on the list after being cut last year in a numbers game. He was impressive enough for them to sign him back from the Panthers practice squad after Aaron Smith went down. He has barely been heard from this preseason and thus a casualty.

Not a surprise
Joe Burnett, not shown anything as a Cornerback since being drafted last year.
Frank Summers, possible backup RB, and like fullback when needed also has done nothing to impress.
Stefan Logan, Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders are able to return the ball and play Wide Receiver. Stefan was too small for a wideout. Too many players with positive upsides to keep a one dimensional player around.
Craig Urbik: Plain and simply a bust
