Steelers bring in Beanie Wells for a physical

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/14/steelers-have-beanie-wells-in-for-a-physical/

I'm not too high on Beanie. We have enough guys that get injured, and I understand he's only 24, but he has a record of knee problems. And there is a reason Arizona let him walk. But I guess we will see what the steelers think I guess if he gets offered a deal or not.

 

maybe they are fitting him for duce's warm-up suit.

 

Yeah, right? A Hanz n' Franz sweatsuit?

Has Wells EVER been healthy?

 

Say no to the Bean!

 

I think they are doing a very good job checking out the market place. Wells is a RB and we could use a few bodies there.

Besides, his knees seem to be bad so I doubt he gets signed.


Cajun-

 

We've got two Beanie Wells prototypes in place now, have we not?

How about a change-of-pace back that has been so effective in the past? (Bettis/FWP, Bettis/Zeroue, Bam/McAfee, etc).

We've got enough plodders. Need a thoroughbred.

 

CLASSIC GUYS!!!


2013 THE YEAR FOR A HEALTHY LINE AND INJURED RUNNINGBACKS
can we please just get GIOVANNI BERNARD in the 2nd?

 

I don't think the armchair GM's here would mind Gio Bernard, or Barner, or C. Michael. If we can get Beanie or Bradshaw for relatively cheap, we tie them to a week 1 roster bonus or something. Just so they show some initiative; no keeling over in OTAs or camp. May the best 3-4 men win.

 

Wells is basically the mirror image of two backs already have on the roster hopefully nothing comes of this meeting.

 

I'd cut Dwyer and Redman tomorrow if it meant Beanie in the Burgh.

HACK

 

Really?!?
That makes no sense to me. They are all the same type of back with Dwyer and Redman already incorporated into the system. Beanie is a replica of both but with bum knees.
I don't understand the statement unless you are a total OSU homer.?

 

Yeah, I generally buy most of what Hack is selling but this leaves me puzzled.

Beanie got replaced by about every back that came along in AZ, didn't he? Tim Hightower, LaRod Stephens-Howling . . . they drafted Ryan Williams with a second-round pick in 2011 to replace Wells . . . He's always hurt . . .

I guess it's our turn to sift through the Cards' garbage bins.

 

Didn't you know that Hack's always beating the drum for these type of guys.

 

I don't really care who they bring in as long as it helps us win. Regarding Hack I meant players in general, he's got a laundry list of guy he wants to make Steelers. I have no problem with it as he seems to do his homework before suggesting we sign a player. I was just cutting up a bit. For some reason the little smiley faces and such are not available to me on my mobile phone or maybe they are and I just don't know. Guess I should use the Lol more often so people know I'm just kidding around?

 

Just trying to be honest, but if you want to insult me, fine.

 

Is saying "it would be more believable coming from somebody else" not an insult? Seems like one to me. Not going to waste to much time arguing with you as it's a no win situation for me. Although Jack has his popcorn out and I'd hate to disappoint. Lol!

 

Really Hack?? You would let Dwyer AND Redman go for Wells? ....

 

I'm sure glad Hack not the Steelers GM Beanie Wells hasn't played a full season since he has been in the NFL, no way I would take him over Dwyer and Redman. The solution is to draft a stud runningback instead of these retreads with injury history.

 

Id sure like to hear Hacks reasoning on this as well!!

 

That had me LMAO
