    If this is in the wrong section feel fee to move it mods, but seemed Steelers related to me.

    I'm just wondering if anyone is a member, and if it's worth it? I follow Wexell on twitter and he usually has some insightful stuff on twitter.

    How often are new articles up? Every day?

    I'm a member. I don't know if I can say it's worth it or not. I like Wex, and I like the articles as they give more insights than what you get from most other sources, but the frequency of new content during the offseason leaves me wanting more for $9.00 a month. Like anywhere else though, as camp gets closer there's more to report on. I do like that he doesn't 'make news' if there isn't any like almost everyone else does if you know what I mean. At times during the offseason, you can go up to 5 days without a new article, then get a sudden steady stream of them. I think I saw 3 new ones posted this morning. You get access to the whole scout network though, so if you're into any other teams, or just want to stay up on the AFC north there's that I guess. I'll say you get more for your dollar now that the mini camps are starting.

    Wexell usually has pretty good write ups. Especially now with OTA's and such.

    He recently wrote about Spence and week 3 OTA's:

    Sean Spence wasn’t so much a star yesterday, but his interception of Byron Leftwich over the middle brought out some of the news Spence had been making off the field.

    The Steelers have already reversed their draft-day decree that Spence is a mack linebacker. The week-long absence of Stevenson Sylvester gave Spence an opportunity to play the buck position, and he’s opened plenty of eyes.

    And most of those good impressions were made in the classroom. “He asks all the right questions,” said one coach.

    But I wouldn’t write Larry Foote off just yet. He lined up to race Chris Carter and another linebacker in a 10-yard dash. Foote won by a step because he came off the snap more quickly, more instinctively.

    Remember, with the disappearing of the fullback, buck backers – or playcallers in the Steelers’ scheme – don’t have to weigh 240 pounds anymore. Spence is listed at 231 but looks smaller.

    :hello: You are welcome.

    I'm not sure who the other LB was. I don't recall that he ever mentioned him by name :shrug:
