jones wipl be the starter come opening day.

I know it rarely happens that a rookie starts for lebeau but this isn't like other situations. Normally a rookie comes in and there is already a starter in place the last time a rookie came in and was able to compete without a starter being there was kendrell bell. I think he beats out worilds for the lolb spot and makes and immediate impact on our defense. I don't care about his age, his medical conditions, or his 40 time dude can straight ball

 

I hope you are right.

 

What will Jason Worilds, Dick lebeau, Mike Tomlin say about that? Come on now
this is the Steelers we are talking about here. We all know that veterans get the first and 2nd crack
around here don't we? Remember it is a scheme thing. LOL.

 

Why don't you go watch the Alabama- Georgia SEC Championship game. I'll bet you'll find an OLB that got run over to the tune of 300+ yards rushing.

 

overpaid fatbutt woodley needs to pull his weight!

pull his weight
get it?

not gonna do it
not gonna do it

woodley?
hairlip !
hairlip!

 

O stop already. For Pete's sake. That Alabama team made many a future NFL player look like an idiot. That doesn't mean the guy can't ball, it just means that Alabama was THAT good. If you have any knowledge of the game of football, you know that it takes more than one guy to stop a running game...period.

I will ask these 2 questions....

1. How many of those yards came running Jones direction?
2. Of those times they ran Jones direction, how many times did Alabama double team him or provide extra help with a kick back block via a TE or WR?

You can't jut say, well they ran for 300 yards like it was all his fault.

 

BOOM!!! THERE GOES THE DYNO MITE

 

agreed. alabama ran away from jenkins and jones all night. if they did run at jones they kept williams the te in to double jones. they also dropped jones alot into coverage in that game because they couldnt cover the yeldon in the flat or williams in the middle of the field. he still had 2 sacks and 6 tackles

 

Against a #3 rated Florida....

Bowl game against Nebraska....

Against Alabama....

Guy was big, in big games too.....

 

Thanx for putting things in perspective!

Good post, and easy to read, too! Plus 1
Not sure who everyone else thought would be so much better.
Yeah, Maybe Eifert would have looked good in Black-n-Gold, but I think we needed a linebacker more, right now...
Anyhow, good post, and good pick!
GO STEELERS!
Edit... Sorry, not sure why the numbers you clearly put in your post didn`t show up when I quoted it.. That was NOT my intention.

 

Look what Bama did to Te'o. They took him from a top 10 pick and helped him drop into the 2nd round. They made many look foolish but I don't believe they made Jones look foolish. This is just hating to hate.

 

Well, the SEC is glad to see him gone and here he is!

Sack Machine

 

Will the Steelers give him a chance to be the starter? LOL Same with Bell Double YOY?

 

I don't think he starts. But one thing that is in his favor is that he is a pure OLB. No adjustment needed because he played DE in college. Now that being said hopefully it doesn't take him 3 years to see the field.
