Penn State CB Joey Porter Jr would look good in the black and gold

Future Steelers first round pick

 

CB could be high on the list! I am disappointed in our CB'S at this stage in season.

 

Eli Ricks still for me. Heck, Kelee Ringo even.


JP Jr.'s physicality, athleticism and play demeanor are not to be questioned. His overall ball skills and abilities to play in off man (something the Steelers have been doing more of) leaves a lot to be desired. He can be developed to be a rock solid true number one for certain. That said, Eli Ricks and Kelee Ringo have the special qualities needed to become either star or superstar level Corners.

 

Porter is a man up press corner that does not love run support. Not sure the Steelers like that

 

I am not so sure either, too bad his dad never shied away from contact.

 

Well Deon Sanders did not like contact and I would love to have a Deon type player.

 

Steelers usually don't care for CB's that don't want to tackle.

 

I agree but why would you not take a lock down CB in a passing league.

 

It doesn't matter what I think, in my over 50 years of watching the Steelers
They prefer CBS's that want to support the run.

 

Again I agree the Steelers would pass on the best CB in the draft because they are weak at run support... Nothing like beating your head against a wall if you will and not open to change.

 

Deion Sanders.....A legend from His own mouth. LoL. Just shows with enough hype anyone can be considered a goat.

 

You don't think Sanders was a great player?

 

No....I think He was very good. Just not as good as He , or others think He is.
I've heard people say He's one of the greatest players of all time, and that is pure $hit.

 

I guess we'll just disagree

 

That's cool

 

Ricks is a seldom used back up at Bama .

 

He's the best cover CB in my lifetime.

 

Not IMO....., but that's cool that You think so.

 

Yeah, but evidently they like linebackers that don't want to tackle.

 

It's not Rod Woodson

 

LoL. Isn't it funny the great Deion Sanders leads the NFL in nothing. LoL Nothing, but people saying how awesome He is. Crazy Isn't it....but You people that buy into what others tell You....I'm fine with You guys thinking that. He got his reputation the same way Dallas is believed to being America's team.....a lot of talk, and hype. I know You will just hit disagree....without anything to back it up, but Hey.....I'm cool with it.
Deion was one of the worst Cb at covering the slant.....I guess for some reason that's not considered covering.

 

Post was made on the 3rd of this month. It is now the 15th. If it was not evident Ricks' play has declined since then, today against Tennessee should be of further indication.


Regardless, I still stand by my assessment of Peezys son; great as an aggressive press corner but not someone I would trust in Off Coverage.. something Austin does quite often.

 

GAAAAP!!

 

There's no need to draft a high ranked secondary player.
We've drafted and coached up players for the past 16 years with no issues.
No?
