good read on pouncey

It's about him stepping up as a leader of the team but the best part of the article is when he said starting Monday the entire oline is going to start working out together to build team chemistry. Pouncey did jump all over Gilbert for being out of shape so our oline should at least be in great shape when they show up for camp. If it lives up to its potential then I don't care who we have at wr and rb we are going to be good.

 

I don't care what anybody says the oline is the heart and soul of an offense. FWP wouldn't have made it one season running behind the lines we have had recently. I can only think is a few backs that's the oline didn't matter and emitt smith isn't one of them.

 

i still can't help but think they might be looking at some type of combo O-linemen.

jones has slid and may even be there in the 4th. jones has the center ability to go across the board.

they looked at winters too. has played left tackle but may be better suited to guard, but in a pinch has the ability to step in at LT or RT or either guard. both give you good players able to start near anywhere. even thornton and pugh have that ability.

considering our depth chart right now, and how many we dress on gameday, these types seem like no brainers at some point. just food for thought.

 

I think it depends on the draft bit right now I have to say no. If somebody goes down he will be the new Essex and the first person the Steelers call.

 

Lmao I just read the bottom of your Sig I'm was like who the hell is blast furnace and with 5k+ posts how have I never seen him before.

 

they want someone that can possibly start at guard better then legs. when they had to kick pouncey out there last year i think that was the end for him. if they can get the right guy i'd say no.

 

I agree if we keep Ben upright and our line opens running lanes we have a good chance to win consistently. The skilled players would be nice but I think it all starts with your line and franchise QB

 

The Steel Hurtin is what I started calling the 08 defense when Clark and Harrison and co were just destroying people. I don't play with any other team then the Steelers on madden so I went with it there and it really had just stuck with me the 2188 were the only two numbers I ever wore in my 12 years if football.

 

If the season started today he would be on the team. He is the only other center other than Pouncey. You don't start the season with one center. Naturally, draft and FA can change this.

 

I've always liked Pouncey. Glad to hear these things from him.

He'll get his ring sooner or later.

 

they have no money for him.

malecki is here too. they are talking about or have started the process of beacham learning the spot too. we do have another one though.
