Timmons being disrespected!!!!!!!!

LOL! I'm glad I'm not alone in this feeling about players not being that smart about the actual game. If we're keeping it real I think it would be safe to say that most of us on this board know more STEELERS history than the majority of our team. But that might be unfair because we've followed this specific team for so long and these guys that are getting drafted are probably rarely, if ever, big time Steelers fans. I've said before that when new guys come in they should have to take sorta "classes" if you will just on the basic history of this franchise and that might give them some greater appreciation and identification with the fans. It really makes me mad when players complain about the fans because they forget to realize that we've loved this franchise longer than some of them have even been alive. Maybe if they would be more acclimated to our history they would understand why we hold them to such a high standard and maybe they would try to elevate their own personal game accordingly. Who knows? Just a thought. What could it hurt for the team to try that? Or any team for that matter.

 

Didn't he also lay out Mark Sanchez and pretty much retire him for the rest of the day this year also?

 

i believe they do here. there was just that same thing about jarvis jones getting educated about being a steeler on the main site. they also just came back from the rookie symposium, which is to tell them about being an NFL player.

I agree that it helped change the outcome. I was actually gonna put that in my post but just didn't. The jets had a first good drive and were making our d look pretty stupid early on and then when Timmons laid the leather we took command of the game. That's how I remember it anyway.

 

I seem to have the same memory! As I said, I am a fan of Timmons and believe that he is only going to get better. Some guys take longer to mature and I think he is one of those guys. Also, his body is built to last...on the field (just in case someone thought that had a different meaning).

 

I'm telling Heath.

 

But when I say it about Heath you can take that any way you want! lol

 

LT is a beast with incredible quickness and agility, whether that is acknowledged here or elsewhere is of little consequence, but we do need to get him working in the same zone/scheme. They have slowly brought this kid along, the Steeler way and we're going to reap the benefits for having done so.

 

i really hope once we get him teamed with another good young player on the inside, we will see more from him. ike is working with williams on his coverage.
