Tim Euhus, you are the weakest link

The Steelers have released tight end Tim Euhus, possibly indicating that third round draft pick Matt Spaeth is close to signing with the team. In his brief stint with the team, he played one game (the 2006 season opener versus Miami) and was inactive for three more.
The team added a huge weapon (literally, the dude is 6′7″ and 267 pounds) on Saturday when they drafted Spaeth. New offensive coordinator Bruce Arians later voiced his desire to better utilize a three-tight-end set with current starter Heath Miller potentially split out as a slot receiver. With two tight ends with great receiving skills, decent speed and a lot of heft to toss around, the door is now open for more creative use of the traditionally run-oriented set.
Filling the third tight end spot in the set is long-time Steeler Jerame Tuman. Tuman is used primarily as a blocker due to his less-than-adequate receiving abilities and the speed of, well, there’s no real speed there to speak of. Which doesn’t speak too well to the abilities of the newly unemployed Euhus.
