For a second-straight preseason game, Pittsburgh Steelers backup center and part-time fullback Kendrick Green put out a very poor performance. Green came in to replace Mason Cole Saturday night against the Buffalo Bills and did very little to make it seem like he is going to make the final 53-man roster.
After the game, head coach Mike Tomlin kept it concise when it came to describing how Green performed.
“Not good enough,” Tomlin said. “Routine things routinely.”
Green had one bad snap that went over the head of quarterback Mason Rudolph that the Bills recovered deep in Steelers territory. They turned that poor snap into a touchdown, and you know that did not sit well with Tomlin.
The Steelers have one more preseason game to do two things. First, can Green do enough to prove to the coaches he can be a viable backup center? And if he cannot, who will the coaches trust to play that role on offense?
