Follow the golden rule and don't be a jagoff.

- Prejudice and Discrimination
Hateful comments are NOT tolerated. No racism, sexism, misogyny, prejudice, discrimination, etc. of ANY kind. /r/steelers is an equal community for all to browse and enjoy. The assessment of any report that may violate this rule will be done at the moderator's discretion. Severe violations of this rule will result in a permanent ban.

- Flame-Baiting and Trolling
Content that may offend or anger users including insults or personal attacks are not allowed aka "Flame-baiting". Regardless if the OP has the intent to troll/flame-bait or not, such content is prohibited.

Due to popularity, there is ONLY ONE allowed "upvote party thread" and can only be done in a self-post. All other attempts at vote manipulation and low effort posts will be removed. Player and coach discussions, post-game are allowed.
- Trolling Opposing NFL Communities
Going into an opposing team's subreddit and causing problems such as flame-baiting or generating negativity amongst their community WILL get you banned from /c/steelers.
When you represent the Steelers and their flair, you are identifying yourself as a member of the large and expansive Steeler community. Trolling opposing subreddits slanders your name and gives a bad reputation to the rest of the Steelers community who do not deserve to be labeled as such.

I guess he will make it into camp, but I doubt he makes the 53 man at this point. They only had 4 listed ILB last season and 4 listed OLB. I guess it also depends on Herbig; I know they said he will play mainly OLB but it will really come down to the rest of the talent on the roster as to where some of the guys get listed I think. Muse, for example, is listed as an ILB but they could try and have him play linebacker/safety hybrid. I really hope Robinson can make it and get a helmet though. The guy seems to have some incredible upside, even if it's just as a Vince William-type downhill linebacker.
The "final" 53-man rosters to start the season are usually pretty weird, and have gotten weirder in the last few years due to the IR rule. Guys who would have been put on permanent IR in previous years are kept on the active roster to be eligible to return mid-season, and fringe players are bounced off of waivers to compensate.
So to start 2022, they kept 7WR's and only 4 ILB's. By the end of the season, they had 5 ILB's (Bush, Jack, Crowder, Robinson, and Spillane) and only 5 WR's.
In 2021 they bounced both Hassenhauer and Finney off of waivers to start the season to make room for McFarland and Banner on IR.
I do agree that Herbig could be a part of the equation. I think Keanu Neal and the rest of the guys who might play that hybrid role might also be a factor. But I think if the ILB room loses a spot to one of those hybrid players, that will probably be Kwiatkoski or Muse. Unless they think they can sneak Robinson through waivers to the practice squad? But I don't think they risk that.
