at Heinz Field T. J. Watt Jersey , in order to fire up the fan base at the start of the fourth quarter. But the true renegade franchise always has been the Raiders, and their trade for Antonio Brown could be only the first act of pilfering Pittsburghr17;s roster.When free agency starts on Wednesday r12; or, more accurately, when the legal tampering window opens on Monday r12; the Raiders could try to sign running back Le'Veon Bell.Rumors and speculation that the Raiders, who are slated to exit Oakland after this season and enter Las Vegas in 2020, could pursue Bell have percolated for months. Given that her17;ll be hitting the open market unrestricted and unfettered, the Raiders could get him for no trade compensation.While that would close the door on a Marshawn Lynch return, Oakland residents would surely excuse the Raiders for slamming the door a man who has become synonymous with the town that the Raiders will soon be leaving. The mantra remains r0;Just Win Chukwuma Okorafor Jersey , Baby,r1; and the Raiders didnr17;t do much of that with Marshawn on the roster. With Brown and Bell, they could do plenty.And herer17;s one semi-tangible clue as to where this could go. Our buddy Dov Kleiman has pointed out that Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has begun following Bell on Twitter.While it doesnr17;t mean much, itr17;s intriguing r12; and it could be a sign of things to come. Quickly. PITTSBURGH (AP) r12; Mike Munchak revels in projects such as Chukwuma Okorafor. The Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line coach loves few things more than taking raw talent, particularly talent with an unconventional background, and turning into something far more substantial.The list of Munchakr17;s protégés includes starting left tackle Alejandro Villanueva, a former Army officer who did three tours in Afghanistan before starting his NFL career. Ditto Matt Feiler, who went undrafted after a career at Division II Bloomsburg Mason Rudolph Jersey , but has forged a path from practice squad flyer to dependable reserve.Now it may be Okoraforr17;s turn. The rookie third-round pick practiced at right tackle with the starters on Wednesday with Marcus Gilbert still dealing with a knee injury and Feiler r12; who has made five straight starts in Gilbertr17;s place r12; dealing with a pectoral issue.Itr17;s uncertain whether Feiler will be ready to play on Sunday when the Steelers (7-2-1) visit Denver (4-6), leaving Okorafor as the next best option to line up across from Broncos star linebacker Von Miller.All the 21-year old Okorafor r12; who was born in Nigeria and spent a portion of his childhood there before moving to the United States at age 12 r12; may have to do is find a way to keep a six-time Pro Bowler who already has 10 sacks this season from disrupting Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.No pressure or anything.r0;Her17;s know what her17;s doing,r1; Okorafor said on Wednesday. r0;Got to just keep on watching film and keep playing.r1;Roethlisberger, for his part, doesnr17;t expect Okorafor or Feiler or whoever might be at right tackle to be able to handle Miller by himself.r0;Nobody can really block Von Miller to tell you the truth, so wer17;ll have to put a couple guys over there,r1; Roethlisberger said.r0;We are not going to be crazy and make one guy do it. Wer17;ll have to put a couple guys over there because he and (Bradley) Chubb are pretty special.r1;Maybe, but the Steelers like what theyr17;ve seen from Okorafor James Washington Jersey , whom they took with the 92nd overall pick in the draft after a solid career at Central Michigan. The 6-foot-6, 320-pounder is big but athletic and carved out a role as a blocking tight end in running situations. Therer17;s never any doubt when Okorafor is in the game. Because he wears No. 76, her17;s required to check in with the referees when he reports. That wonr17;t happen if he simply lines up next to right tackle David DeCastro.Her17;s more than happy to enjoy his anonymity and do his job, one that is far different than what he envisioned when the phone rang in April with the Steelers on the other end. Munchak, a Hall of Fame offensive lineman in his own right, likes to turn his players into students of the game. Okorafor is doing his best to be a sponge.r0;No offense to my coach back in college, but like itr17;s kind of a whole new level of looking at plays, looking at your technique and every single play Terrell Edmunds Jersey ,r1; Okorafor said.Okorafor hardly considers himself the same player he was six months ago, a tribute to Munchakr17;s approach. Quick to use his sense of humor to get a playerr17;s attention, Munchak has taken a bit of a more professorial approach with Okorafor. Itr17;s working. Okorafor watches film and admits her17;s stunned at how far her17;s come in six months, all of it a tribute to Munchak.r0;Coach Munch knows what her17;s doing, he knows how to train guys,r1; Okorafor said. r0;Every guy plays differently and takes coaching a different way. You canr17;t force the same type of coaching on every single guy and think itr17;s going to work.r1;Itr17;s one of the reasons the Steelers have ripped off six straight wins, five of them with Feiler making the first starts of his NFL career in place of Gilbert. Pittsburgh kept humming along anyway. The expectations wonr17;t change if Okorafor jogs into the huddle with the starters in Denver.r0;Her17;s got all the tools, her17;s just young Ryan Shazier Jersey ,r1; DeCastro said. r0;I remember being a rookie and the game was fast. There was a lot going on and therer17;s things I didnr17;t know back then that I learned and experienced and made my life easier. Just got to come in there and play fast when he has to, take care and pick him up when we can.r1;NOTES: DE Stephon Tuitt (elbow) did not practice. r30; LB Anthony Chickillo (ankle) was a full participant. r30; Roethlisberger, CB Joe Haden and C Maurkice Pouncey were given the day off.
