in game action since their playoff loss to the Jaguars after the 2017 season and they’ll have to wait until at least Week 16 of the 2019 season to get a live look at the former member of the team.Wednesday night’s release of the entire 2019 schedule confirmed that Pittsburgh will travel to MetLife Stadium to face the Jets on December 22 in a game that’s currently scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. ET.If all goes well for one or both teams over the first 15 weeks of the season Sean Davis Jersey , the game could have implications on the AFC playoff race. If so, that would make Bell’s first game against his former team an even bigger deal than it would be under other circumstances.Of course, there’s also a chance that a Bell injury could keep him out and push back his first game as a Steelers opponent. When the Pittsburgh Steelers were scouting Jaylen Samuels in 2018 Artie Burns Jersey , it would appear that he was not the only one who impressed them at N.C.State. In need of a new running backs coach this offseason, it looks like Pittsburgh will be returning to North Carolina to fill their vacant role. Eddie Faulkner has been a part of the Wolfpack for six seasons and he is officially listed as N.C. State’s tight ends coach, fullbacks coach Joshua Dobbs Jersey , special team coordinator and recruitment coordinator on the team’s website. Once a running back himself at the University of Wisconsin, Faulkner has spent 17 years in coaching with Anderson University, Ball State James Conner Jersey , Northern Illinois and Wisconsin before joining N.C. State in 2013. Having recruited Samuels to college and then coached him for four seasons, Faulkner will obviously have intimate knowledge of his former charge and that is likely to help him with his transition into the NFL. The opportunity to reunite with a player he spoke so highly of in college must have made the job in Pittsburgh especially attractive to him too.Samuels was not the only former player Faulkner saw drafted in 2018 given he also had a hand in the development of Nyheim Hines. Selected in fourth-round by the Indianapolis Colts, Hines had an impressive rookie season as a dual threat in the backfield Cameron Sutton Jersey , recording 314-yards rushing as well as 63 receptions for 425-yards. Faulkner will fill the role made available when the Steelers opted not to renew the contract of James Saxon who was signed by the Arizona Cardinals as their new running backs coach on Monday.
