Not exactly a surprise that John Pelusi will likely redshirt at this point. As he is still coming back from an ACL tear and Pitt isn’t exactly desperate for depth at TE, there is no real reason to rush him back.

It also seems that Coach Wannstedt isn’t promising Tommie Campbell his starting job back at Weakside (Will) Linebacker. Might be a motivation thing as much as anything for practice this week.

Darrelle Revis has been struggling with his punt returning duties. Seems that Revis is trying too hard to break a big one that he has forgotten what made him a top punt returner in the first place.

Pitt coaches watched Revis go right, left and backwards instead of straight up the middle against The Citadel on Saturday — he finished with 33 yards on six returns — and told him not to try to break one every time.

“When you have exceptional ability — and Darrelle Revis has exceptional ability — and you’re such a competitor, in your mind, you get the ball in your hands and you don’t want to settle for a 5-yard return. You’re trying to make a big play,” Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt said. “He came in and saw the film, and I think he realizes he has to take what he can get and the big plays will come.”

Seems like one of those things where it’s “don’t think, just pitch.” Pitt’s special teams just aren’t at the level where he should be dancing around looking for a seam and lining up his blockers.
