PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers look scary good. On both sides of the ball, it's hard to find a hole. And heading into the regular season, it's hard to find a reason not to feel optimistic about where this team is headed.

It starts with Kenny Pickett, which is where we start. The preseason looked like a brand new QB for the Steelers. The nerves are gone, the growth is evident and the weapons are... scary good.

The running game showcased itself in the final preseason game and that too looked like a fine-tuned machine. All three runners are ready when called upon, and that offensive line has gone from nothing to something pretty spectacular.

On defense, it's about the depth, and diving into it makes you even more excited about this group.

And don't forget about Calvin Austin.

The Steelers have everything they wanted. You couldn't put it together any better if you tried. What are the final pieces? And how good can this group be?
