2010/2011 Pittsburgh Steelers Discussion Thread

[Jakey]

Ooooof, pretty glad to see that signing...he may be old, but hes a hell of allot better than whomever else was playing.

Heres my take on what i think the o-line will look like...

STARTERS: Starks/Adams - Kemo - Hartwig - Pouncey - Adams/Starks
BACKUPS: J. Scott/Essex - Foster/Essex/Urbik - Legursky - Foster/Essex/Urbik - J. Scott/Essex


Heres what i WISH it looked like...

STARTERS: Starks - Kemo - Pouncey - Foster - Adams
BACKUPS: J. Scott - Essex - Legursky - Urbik - J. Scott

(Trade Hartwig, Chris Scott to P.S, Hills to P.S)

You forgot Adrian Jones, Jakey. I think he makes the team.

[mikehop05]

hills cant be placed on the ps can he?

[Hines]

I think he can. Not too sure, though.

Ahhhh of course, that doesnt bode well for Urbik then, i really liked that kid aswell :[

[Hines]

Starks-Kemo-Pouncey-Foster-Adams
Scott-Essex-Hartwig-Urbik-Jones-Scott

That's how I would like to see the OL.

[Mr. Goosemahn]

What do you guys think we do with the QB situation? Keep all 4 all season long? Cut Batch after Ben returns?

[Hines]

We keep 4 QBs then cut Batch and bring him back as a coach.

[Hines]

Pouncey is close to signing.

[tenorx]

Pouncey is close to signing.

And he signed :) No holdout again :D

Excellent, now it's off to train, rookie!

And don't you carry Hartwig's (or any other offensive linemen's) pads! They deserve no respect.

Heh well, I think a rookie has to do what he has to do :P Currently Hartwig has done more in the NFL then Pouncey, he has to prove first!

[Mr. Goosemahn]

We released linebackers Lindsey Witten and Johnny Williams, and long snapper Matt Stewart.

In their places are Pouncey, Worilds, and the Hotel.

[Hines]

I guess Greg Warren is ready to go.

[Mr. Goosemahn]

I guess Greg Warren is ready to go.

Yup.

Also, per Rotoworld:

The Steelers plan to keep Max Starks at left tackle this season, with newly signed Flozell Adams competing on the right side.

Adams isn't a clear upgrade in pass protection, but we'll see how long this lasts. While Starks can run block with the best of them, he's short on athleticism. For now, the Steelers' starting line looks to be LT Starks, LG Chris Kemoeatu, C Justin Hartwig, RG Trai Essex, RT Adams. Maurkice Pouncey will eventually win one of the inside spots. At least they're not trying Essex at left tackle, an idea that had disaster written all over it.
