Lets not count out Stecker

I think you have a good point, and it's a possibility, but I don't think Stecker has the special teams upside of Fast Freddie, and will get beaten out at the 3rd RB spot (I wouldn't mind being wrong).

Stecker filled that 3rd RB spot (often split out) serviceably, but he did drop a few. Atheletically, I think Antonio Pittman is probably slightly better than Stecker. Stecker has the veteran edge (knowledge, leadership). Everything being equal, Pittman will get that spot (assuming the coaching staff has faith in Pittman). But of course, you bring up another good point. "Losing" fast freddie opens another spot. Stecker would fill that spot admirably, leaving Pittman to take the 3rd/spot RB role. Of course, that would most likely leave Branch out...

I guess I don't have much of a conclusion, other than barring out-of-the-norm circumstances, Pittman will make the roster, leaving Stecker's spot much more in jeopardy, although not out of the question. You actually raise a good point, since McAfee had a spot...
