Steelers Have Extended Maurkice Pouncey

the two pounce boys were at a club with aaron in Gainesville and shots were fired. still being investigated. this hernandez thing is not over and it will involve the pounceys .
just hope there is a NO PAY clause


when sheet goes down
you better be ready

when the sheet goes down

got go listen to cypress hill now.

 

I LIKE THE PURPLE FLAVOR

 

Allowing a PRO BOWL CENTER to walk for a 3rd round comp pick? Huh? Let me get this straight, ALL the years we have had awful Olin's, we finally seem to have a good one coming in, and people want to break it up already? Pouncey is a kid with upside and time on his side, and some would rather he walk, and take someone else who could easily flop and put us back 3 years. I just don't get it? Like I said, when we start running the ball, and Ben has more time this offense could be fun to watch. Exactly how much does another ring cost these days?

 

my first thought were , is plax here?

 

Just as Steel Elvis commented on, I will rank
him in the 8 or 9 slot of top centers. So
that is where he should be paid.I have no problem extending the man but not to make
him the highest paid center in the league.

 

yup.

 

Steelers should have picked Russell Bodine in the 4th

That man will be starting this season as a rookie and kickin butt

could of had him as a swing player for oline and let Pounce BOUNCE after this year

big mistake with this contract IMO

 

By no means am I an expert in salary cap / contract issues. To me, they should have some protection to get out based on Pouncey's inability to stay on the field. Money seems excessive when you consider his past body of work (to me as an average fan). I really don't see interior linemen being able to add that much value for the dollar compared to some other positions. Part of the problem I think is that Velasco did fill in admirably last year without any noticeable drop off in production. The FO is clearly more knowledgable but, to me it feels more like a Woodley signing than a Bettis signing.

Only full regular season he finished without a missed game, 2010, when he missed the Super Bowl. And talk of being a "Pro Bowl" center? Please, why do some people still insist that being "Pro Bowl" caliber is based on anything other than a popularity contest? Pouncey was well loved out of college and into the NFL, not necessarily for his performance. I call it the "Tim Tebow" effect.

 

TRUE!!
the SEC and all their shady football "dealings"
Urban Meyer and his transgressions
Ohio Stat is a perfect fit for him to continue the tradition of Buckeye crime
Tebow. hahahahahaa

 

Idk why, but it is awfully common around these parts to call Pouncey an "average" center. It seems like it's only our fans who do it too lol I do think his pro bowls and all-pro honors hold some weight. You only can afford to keep so many "pro bowl caliber" players on a single team. When you already have one on your team, you should try to keep him on your team. It's that simple. Plus he's 25, and we really didn't overpay. Every new contract for a high caliber player makes them highest paid at their position (see Flacco, Ryan, Haden, etc.) it's just the way the NFL is anymore.

You just can't let one of the few top caliber guys we do currently have for a 3rd round pick. In all honesty would you trade Pouncey to another team for a conditional 3rd? No, you wouldn't cuz that's stupid. That's how you wind up with NO talent instead of some talent.

 

I like the SEC guy we got, and I'm a buckeye fan. more to come from UNC, so I wouldn't throw stones quite yet. the ACC has it's share of troubles too. anyway, I'm a lot happier with johnson than I would have been with bodine. the LT ability puts him farther ahead for me.

 

HEY HEY HEY watch it now MAC
McCants is a washed up player who is looking for some attention
he was a problem at school and he is a jerk plain and simple
Doherty should have punched him in the face
WOODY HAYES STYLE

the Raleigh newspaper has been gunning for the HEELS for awhile
the things that go on in ACC land are Peanuts compared to the bigten and sec
ncaa is too freaking scared to hurt an sec team
Newton
Satan Saban
Oscar Meyer
Spurrier
the list goes on and on argh...

hell and don't tell me Calipari at Kentucky is a saint
he's been caught twice before with his recruiting

Donovan in florida has countless issues with his players
but the good ol' boy traditions countinue down in Dixie and the entire SEC

back to point

pounce is not worth the contract

and I've stated before
I bet he won't make it through the season without limping towards the sidelines

 

all the major schools are just as bad as another. if they truly looked hard they would find the same things everywhere. it's almost a joke from what it was intended to be. greed plain and simple and every thing that goes with it. enough of that and I can't say much because I'm a big cane fan too and have been for many years. I always liked UNC and they're players though.

I had my worries about pouncey too. that was because of the knee. the surgically repaired ankles seemed to be alright, but we still haven't seen him in pads with that knee yet. there were also drills he didn't do at OTA's because of it. it makes me feel better having Wallace and Johnson here though. like last year, heath was back, but heath wasn't back.

 

The Tim Tebow Effect - when you draft a player named Pouncey that played with Tim Tebow in college, and for the rest of the offseason anytime the experts on TV are supposed to talk about Pouncey (like the instant he's drafted, and when you're examining the Steelers' draft), they instead use the opportunity to talk about Tim Tebow.

I've read that on PFF too - that Pouncey has a bogus reputation as a top center because he was handed it as a draftee and it simply carried over into his career. That's bull****. He was as ignored as every other rookie when compared to the Ndamukong Suhs and Tim Tebows and Dez Bryants. He was just another pick to briefly mention before getting back to Tebow. Hell, Pouncey wasn't even the most hyped interior offensive lineman of that draft. That was Mike Iupati, who went one pick sooner. Pouncey's rep began when he got on the field. He outplayed his competition to a near embarrassing degree, straight up ending Hartwig's career. Then he outplayed every other Steeler lineman, and most of the league. Then people started saying he was the best, or almost the best. Then PFF started *****ing about Pittsburgh's YPC and trotting out red font, and grading him the same as David Johnson. So now he's overrated. Thanks guys, but I'm gonna go with myself (and Colbert and Munchak and Khan) on this one. Not only do I trust their talent evaluation more, but I trust them to notice a dropoff in play more.

 

WOW
who took the last piece of bacon?

C,M,K
is who you're teaming with?

the three stooges?

I can't wait for two of them to pack their bags and get the hell out of the burgh

Munchak gets a pass because he's been here all of two days

Khan is going to the jags next year

Colbert will be (hosting latenite) served his walking papers after this horrendous draft AGAIN!!!
like Forrest says AGAIN!

Pounce isn't worth an ounce

of salt

blah
wish Pouncey would go hang out in Miami with his brother
AND LET DEXTER TAKE CARE OF HIM


I don't want my team looking stupid like the PATS did with Aaron

like I stated before

I PRAY THERE IS A CLAUSE

 

I'll take that as an ""

 

OK
