The Pittsburgh Steelers are on a well-documented five game winning streak Authentic James Conner Jersey , and there are some outsiders who might be wondering what is going on which has caused such a drastic change after a dreadful 1-2-1 start. The answer? When talking about the battle of the trenches, the main talking point is about the sack stats for the Steelers. The offensive lines ability to keep players from sacking Ben Roethlisberger, and the defenses ability to get to the opposing quarterback.Check out the stats up to Week 10, per Dom Rinelli of the Steelers Public Relations team:Some pretty impressive statistics, and when you think about how the team started in the month of September, it has been a remarkable turnaround for both sides of the ball.When you are talking about offensive and defensive line play Womens David DeCastro Jersey , there is no doubt improvement has been noticeable in more than just the sack department. James Conner has had gaping holes to run through, and the defensive line has shut down opponents running game with elite efficiency.It is safe to say, this 2018 Steelers team will go as far as their big men take them, and so far they are looking pretty stellar throughout the first 10 weeks of the regular season.Predicting the Steelers Week 5 inactive list vs. the Falcons A change in the 53-man roster makes the inactive list quite telling this week. Will Marcus Allen finally make his debut, or will the newly-added Brian Allens special teams experience give him the advantage? Game StatusDoubtful:S Morgan Burnett (Groin)WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (ankle)LB Vince Williams Here are the possibilities to end up inactive for Week 5:Definitely:Once again nobody has been ruled out, but a doubtful designation has been the same thing for the Steelers in 2018.Most Likely:QB Mason Rudolph- Josh Dobbs could sprain an ankle walking into the stadium Womens Ramon Foster Jersey , but I doubt it. S Morgan Burnett- I sound like a broken record: his weekly progress was in the wrong direction. Burnett will be out again. LB Vince Williams- he didnt practice all week. There isnt much hope that he will dress Sunday. WR Darrius Heyward-Bey- its the same story as Vince. Hey-Bey was out all week, so playing this weekend isnt likely to happen.DT L.T. Walton- The defensive line is healthy again this week, so Walton one again ends up being the guy to sit this one out.OT Zach Banner- he needs two linemen to be hurt in order to dress, and this week there are none. Possibly:OT Matt Feiler- last week the Steelers did dress an eighth lineman because their inactive list was already pretty full. Its pretty full this week as well, but depth in other areas and special teams play may factor in more.S Marcus Allen- its very difficult to determine if the Steelers are interested in dressing this Allen. Because he hasnt played at all, its hard to say if theres any special teams value or positional depth he brings. Nat Burhe went on the IR this week and was replaced on the roster with a corner Authentic Ben Roethlisberger Jersey , so being a safety could help his cause.CB Brian Allen- he just moved from the practice squad to the main roster and has special teams experience from last season. Its strange that he could not be on the 53, but once promoted jump ahead of others that are still waiting for a helmet.WR Justin Hunter- its not beyond the realm of possibility for the Steelers to go into the game with only four WRs, especially with Ryan Switzer emerging as more than just a return man. Even though he brings nothing to special teams, Hunter will probably dress for depth and may even get a handful of snaps on offense.Unlikely:OT Marcus Gilbert- he did miss one practice this week with his injured hamstring, but didnt end up with a designated game status. Unless something unexpected arises, Gilbert should be good to go.Projected Inactive List:Mason RudolphMorgan BurnettVince Williams Darrius Heyward-Bey L.T. WaltonZach Banner Marcus Allen I thought Marcus Allen was ready to get a helmet last week. For the Steelers chose to give it to Matt Feiler and his zero snaps for the game http://www.pittsburghsteelersteamstore.com/stephon-tuitt-jersey , its quite obvious that they dont feel ready to use him even on special teams. Therefore, I think Brian Allen gets the helmet ahead of Marcus to help replace the special teams void left by Darius Heyward-Bey. Unless one of the doubtful players is somehow ready on Sunday, the Steelers carry the extra lineman in Feiler.Feel free to list your projected inactives in the comments below.
