Dobbs was wearing the wrong gloves, right?
More news that can't help.
Inside the ropes: Josh Dobbs, Mason Rudolph share bulk of QB duties
That meant plenty of reps for the two young quarterbacks the Steelers have taken in the middle rounds of the past two drafts. In a rare instance of riding two quarterbacks throughout most of practice, the Steelers gave the reins to
Josh Dobbs and
Mason Rudolph for all but the first four reps of “Seven Shots.”
Rudolph handled the final three snaps of the two-point conversion simulation “Seven Shots,” and both young quarterbacks got extensive time with first-teamers (and against the first-team defense) the rest of the way.
Some Dobbs/Rudolph observations:
• Rudolph threw scoring connections to
James Washington and
Jaylen Samuels in “Seven Shots,” though he did miss on a quasi-fade to
Damoun Patterson .
• Rudolph came in with an earned reputation of being adept at the deep ball, and he hasn’t shown anything to contradict that in camp. On Monday, he completed at least two long throws. He also seems to attempt an inordinate amount.
• Dobbs was intercepted when
Morgan Burnett jumped a
Darrius Heyward-Bey route, and
Terrell Edmunds almost had another interception when Dobbs missed a throw to
Bucky Hodges .
