+ We opened/dusted the Kevin Zeitler vs. David DeCastro file after the rookie from Stanford was reportedly struggling during Pittsburgh Steelers training camp. Struggling might be a strong word. He's not "setting the world on fire" as many suspected he would. In other news, when asked about being the starter on the team's first depth chart of the season, Zeitler simply said, "It's cool to see it officially on paper." It's quite possible that he said that with thick plastic sunglasses, a confident grin and a Kardashian at his side. He's just that cool.

+ The mothership hints at speculation that cornerback Brandon Ghee could be out for the entire year. If true then we suspect, at the very least, there could be a settlement at some point. He's not eligible for the PUP and unless the team places him IR, the only recourse would be releasing him with an injury settlement. But then again. Despite his hard work and determination to rebound from a slow start to his NFL career, he was still a long-shot to make the 53-man roster.
