Steelers Football is officially back! The team (minus a lot of key starters) took the field tonight for the first preseason game against the Eagles. Even though it was a preseason game, Steelers Twitter was in mid-season form.
Everybody needs to relax. This is just the preseason. No need to get crazy. pic.twitter.com/8v3zUUfCeQ

In case you were wondering how the rotation would go on the inside with Foster out and Pouncey sitting.
B.J. Finney starts at center, Matt Feiler at left guard for Steelers

Not the best start from the O-line, though
Someone forgot to tell Fletcher Cox it was preseason.
He just smoked DeCastro for a sack on 2nd down and chased down a screen from the backside on 3rd down.
Now get him out of the game, Doug.

It was apparent early on it was a preseason game
Nice little mix on D in coverage. Showed man off the snap, the juggernaut that is Nate Sudfeld appeared confused

The new rules are going to be something this year
We have our first "Lead with helmet" flag. Sidney Jones closes in from the flat and delivers a strike to a crossing route. Definitely initiated contact with the helmet; very tough spot to ask him to do otherwise, IMO.

Josh Dobbs drove us down to the goal line but we almost got too smart for ourselves
hey Fichtner, Haley got fired for running a pitch on fourth and one, so let's cool it with the option on the goal line thanks #Steelers
— Tony Serino (@steelercountry) August 10, 2018
Until a penalty gave us the ball on the 1 and Toussaint pounded it in then added the 2-pointer for good measure
Fitz T looks great. Dude is a survivor.

🗣RUNNING AT THE GOAL LINE WORKS

Then the Eagles hit a bomb over Dashaun Phillips
Defense is in midsession form I see

phillips burned deep for the TD … not what you want being a bubble player fighting for a roster spot
— Paul (@Dwinsgames) August 10, 2018
Danny Smith’s unit taking repeated dumb penalties? Shocked I tell ya
— Jon Ledyard (@LedyardNFLDraft) August 10, 2018
Missed tackles and getting burnt on 50+ yard bombs. The Steelers are back baby.
— UK Steelers (@UKSteelers) August 10, 2018
Steelers special teams has been penalized twice for illegal formation….Tomlin has to be fuming
— Jason Shetler (@Jason_Shetler) August 10, 2018
BJ Finney down. Remember when I said my biggest concern about Foster going down was our lack of center depth? Going to be tested now.
— The Steelers n'at (@thesteelersnat) August 10, 2018
The Steelers got back in the game when Josh Dobbs executed the 2-minute drill then ripped one to Damoun Patterson over the middle
Dobbs to Patterson for a 29-yard TD! What a grab by Patterson. #Steelers

Mason Rudolph came on to start the second half.

One of the stars of camp, Ola Adeniyi, made himself known with a strip sack

Yikes
Someone should tell @Shell that Monaca, PA is pronounced Mon-ack-a, not Mon-ah-ka.
— Kevin Gorman (@KevinGormanPGH) August 10, 2018
😂😂😂 I am sure the good folks of “Mah-knock-ah” Pennsylvania are delighted with the research the guy doing the voiceover for that Shell Polymers commercial did!! 😝😝😝
— SamHall (@SamDHallJr) August 10, 2018
Rudolph took advantage of a free play and chucked one deep for Washington
https://twitter.com/atogre_cohen/status/1027726680922771456
That’s what Washington does so well. Wins those contested balls. #Steelers
— Steel Dad (@SteelDad) August 10, 2018
Boswell extended the lead

Damoun Patterson continued to ball, even in the 4th quarter
The connection is real #Steelers pic.twitter.com/8kigsJt5o6
