NoCalMike Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Donovan Jeter just signed. I think he was cut by the Steelers during the final round of cuts, but might have been brought back for the practice squad? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowhunter Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Jeter spent FIve years at Michigan and started a total of 4 games. Not gonna get excited about this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswerdlw Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Jeter is 6'4, 325. Seems to have a body type very similar to that of Phidarian Mathis, 6'3, 320. Like Mathis, Jeter is known for occupying blockers. Clearly not as talented or productive as Mathis, but the raw materials are present. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommanderCarson Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Some guys are late bloomers, obviously the chance he sticks or does anything is like 1%, but you never know. I like he’s someone the Steelers clearly wanted to keep around, and that’s about my only observation at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Cold Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Jeter can ball. His stats won’t jump off the screen because he’s not flashy…but the man does not get moved around easily. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, maybe there's something there then? The Steelers aren't exactly a team without decent depth, so maybe this guy was a casualty to having too many options on the D-line. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a rookie UDFA that neither Pittsburgh or even Washington bothered to add to their practice squad. He was option #1? Not a veteran. Not some guy on someone else's practice squad. But clearly they liked something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think RR is kinda rollin with the youth movement as well It depends on the phase you are in as a team. This team is in that phase in which this year must be a playoff year. I'd rather lean more toward proven vets for depth, especially at DT. Nose tackles last a long time in the NFL - if folks remember Ted Washington, who was 375 lbs, he lasted until age 39. What happens as they get older is they can still be effective on a limited snap count but less effective when you ask more of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I think in this case the youth over vet decision hinged upon Mr. Payne. Renting a vet can be a good thing if you're about to make a run. But losing a vet AND Payne in the following off season would hurt. But if Jeter turns out to be a decent player they have a little more leeway in Darons contract decision. Sadly, with only 3 snaps under his belt, Mathis no longer offers that consolation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until he got hurt, I figured that Mathis was just another DT that might replace Payne if he was not resigned. But after listening to Rico and other podcasters this week, Mathis's role this year was mainly to take on two blockers in the middle and clog running lanes. Not so much trying to get sacks, but unselfishly taking the heat, so Payne and Allen could feast. Not a true Nose tackle, but big-bodied like Swaggy was. Jeter seems like he fits the bill. Certainly looks it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
