    Based on this article, the OL went from as low as 21st in pass blocking and 31st in run blocking to 5th and 9th. I have no idea how this is rated, if anyone does, please chirp in.

    Is this truely a function of continuity? Probably. Mike Munchack? Probably. Mostly, I think it is from having Pouncy/Decastro together for 16 games.

    It would be nice to have a more appropriately sized LT, but with all of our needs at defense, I don't see a draft choice helping here. My feel good long shot is Alejandro Villanueva.

    Would Villanueva play OL or TE with us?

    Is Nik Embernate still in the picture? Guy had a nasty disposition at college. Not sure if he is still on PS after rookie injury.

    No. He was a free agent all last season. A shame, too.

    Steelers To Honor Army Veteran, T Alejandro Villanueva, All Week


    www.steelersdepot.com/2014/11/steelers-honor-army... CachedTuesday is Veterans Day and the Pittsburgh Steelers are making sure to honor tackle Alejandro Villanueva, the military veteran on their practice squad who

    says he's up to 33o right now. I'm guessing he will be ready to see some action at Tackle by the preseason.:cool:

    I agree, I liked Embernasty. Maybe they'll extend an invite to camp, he should be healed by now.
