One thing I am looking forward to tomorrow!

In today's NFL where the greed and corruption of King Roger and the 32 owners is sickening; the buffoonery and limited IQ of the players is disgusting; I am really looking forward to rooting for Alejandro Villanueva! I remember watching Rocky Bleier play and it just makes me feel good when you know a guy who is solid human being is getting his chance.

I hope he shines in an outing to help the Steelers cement their impending dominance!

 

He did well last week, as I recall. Will definitely be good to see a bit more of what he has to offer, and like you say, easy to root for.

In contrast to some of our *ahem* other recent signings.

 

al is a feel good story but has talent too and the work ethic to improve. brains too. same thing that made beach into a good player.

 

I think he's got a shot under Munchak's coaching to be very good. Great athletic ability and good feet.

 

Yeah I hope he does well too

 

I worry that AV and Landry are both making their first starts if they both struggle the Steelers will be in trouble, I hope I'm wrong though.

 

Honestly I do not see why you would care that much about an LT.. How many LT have come and gone and this guy is your hero ?

 

I'm hoping he's our next LT and one heckuva tackle eligible down field... Shake it up. Put Beach at LG next season. Go nuts!!!

So, a LT can't be a mentor to others?

He's a good fill in and a good guy. I want him around because you can count on him to be there. He's already proven that.

 

Maybe something to do with his service to the country, along with him being a general long shot to do anything in the NFL to having a chance to start? He seems to be a really good dude too.

Just because he isn't a skill position player, doesn't mean he doesn't have people rooting hard for him.

 

Wasn't the last really big guy they had at LT Starks?

 

I watched him play WR while he was at Army. The transition has been amazing to watch.

 

Not takes names TTF. He can kick two more asses if he don't have to write names. Ha-ha

 

Yup. I get that.. I just found it a bid odd the fascination with him in particular. Figured it had something to do with his service that got you excited lol

 

AFTER THE GAME
and
come Tuesday
I'm looking forward to
TOMLINS PRESS CONFERENCE!!!!
it is what it is

 

Yeah, I know what you mean. Some people just love to root for the underdog.

 

wow we suck
coach no coach
we suck

I blame the OWNER

 

I posted in the game thread that you could tell he was really ticked at himself. I like that about him.

 

You must be a youngster. In today's NFL, it's nice to have a guy who isn't a bum, or a wife beater, or a street urchin with a single digit IQ. It's because some things are bigger than football.

 

I"m pretty sure Ben told him, don't get me killed !

 

Obviously the standard is the standard, next man up we don't live in our fears
