We should sign Richie Incognito

I'm with TTF, if he is a good LG, something we don't have, and comes cheap, I'd take him. While Pittsburgh usually gets rid of problem children versus bringing them on, there's a chance with the right attitude, say, the Steeler Way, he could do well for us.

 

To which I said he was falsely accused. It's relevant if Incognito is being at least somewhat falsely accused. There's at least some evidence that indicates what Martin's camp is saying is far from the whole story.

Don't see how on earth what I said could be considered a shot at Ben. I'm comparing the situation both players were/are in, not the players themselves.

I'm just saying, lets not be too quick to write him off as a problem child in the locker room. Does he like blow and hookers? Yes he does, but if we wrote off every player that liked those things, we probably wouldn't have enough guys to field a team.

 

I honestly didn't know that. I really don't know much about him other than this Martin issue and that he's a good player. I still wouldn't be against bringing him in for at least a chat to see where his head is at and see if he is ready to tone it down a bit. These situations have a way of humbling guys.

We passed on Burfict due to his behaviour issues and now he's turned into one of the better young LB'ers in the league who doesn't appear to be making any type of noise in the league.

 

Not a chance in hell. A locker room can be a really tough place. You have to have thick skin to play any sport really. He quite clearly can't handle that type of environment and has all but said so himself. I'm actually surprised he made it through college without having a melt down.

 

Shoot me, shoot me now.

 

Where in the world is Scott???!!! This thread NEEDS him!!! HA!

 

Even better. I like anger and this team seems to have none of it.

 

maybe cody wallace has it

 

Yes sign him !!!!

 

People keep saying problems... Richie didnt have any problems while in Miami. He was a friend to Martin.

Also, no way would any NFL team sign Martin. He is done in the NFL.

 

deepends if we sign velasco , wallace and we keep pouncey .we don't need a guard

 

hubbard too.

 

Who on earth has the patience to read all of those texts? It hurts my brain. I got about 4 texts in and quit.

I'm happy enough with our guards. Foster's no star, but he's solid and versatile and durable. And we're paying him like a starter. If there's an upgrade to be had by switching to Incognito, it's not worth the risk of hurting the team.

 

i say we don't need starter guard bur embernate could be a back up , we don't need incognito

 

I was bored at work so I finished them. I'm super excited about ember nasty

 

I don't think foster is mobile enough to run the ZBS. I also wonder why we just scrapped running the ZBS just because pouncey went down? did the rest of our o-linemen not run it well enough? we brought in another center that ran it for our new o-line coach.

everyone is expecting some sort of voo doo from mm. they still have to be able to pass block. they also have to be smart and MOBILE so they can get to the second level.

when your going to have one of the best teach a complete scheme to a team and you don't know how long you may have him to do that, I'm gonna have to say you get what he asks for to do it. once we get in camp and see if these guys are it, there could go another year. I don't think we have MM long enough to work with projects.

 

They scraped it because Bicknell couldn't coach it.

 

Totally agree!

 

but he could coach it when pounce was healthy? Hmmmm.
