As bad as Nate Herbig was on Friday night, Zach Frazier was that good. The Pittsburgh Steelers took on the Houston Texans on Friday night and the lowlight of the game aside from the loss was the play of Herbig at center with two bad snaps in just three drives.

The rookie Frazier came in and ended up playing 66 percent of the offensive snaps (39). Head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about Frazier's performance and what it could mean for his future in the preseason.

"He's one of the guys I'm talking about," Frazier said. "He was in the stadium on Friday. He's got that in stadium exposure. So it's reasonable to expect him to be significantly better. Next week we are going to position him to do so with an increased workload."

We expect Frazier to get the start this week against the Buffalo Bills. Even fellow rookie Ryan McCollum did better at center than Herbig did and Herbig could find himself on the roster bubble if Frazier continues to play well.
