Spillane

Thing is, no one besides one member of this message board really knows what happened. For all we know, they could have been trying to change positions. She wanted to be facing him and he didn't want to take the chance of her throwing up all over him, evidence and all that. She tried to spin around and he tried to keep her from it and she slipped off the pole. Hell hath no fury like a drunk sorority sister scorned on the bathroom floor.

(Please understand, I'm not making light of sexual assualt. I'm making light of people who think they know what happened)

 

Unlawfully restraining someone while you sexually assault them is most certainly kidnapping. Edit: or not. Ok, I am flat out wrong. It is considered separately. So I withdraw that claim with my sincere and humble apologies. Regardless, I am NOT saying that Ben did this. I have no idea. I was simply responding to what someone else suggested he did. IF he did what was suggested he is a total piece of **** and should be in jail.

 

The content of that post is absolutely making light of sexual assault.

 

The content of your posts makes light of rational thought. We're even. Neener.

 

I truly hope Spillane shows better judgement on the field than you have shown on this thread.

 

So, yeah, Spillane is pretty good.

 

Spillane is a quality piece to Devin Bush. That said, if Spillane can become more explosive and quicker via reading his keys, that will be quite nice leading down the stretch.

 

I'd like to see him be patient. One of Vince's biggest faults for all the stories written that he has a film study guy he still sucked at play recognition and jumped the first gap he saw. Yes he filled an obvious hole in the defense but instead of being in on the play he gets blocked. Going back to Shazier and Timmons the had speed to compensate for not reading the play right. When they brought Barron in I was encouraged because in his highlights you saw him get through a hole quickly and attack the runner before he could cut. Sadly that player never materialized in Pittsburgh. So I'd like to see Spillane be patient like Bobby Wagner and wait until the runner commits and then explode into him.

 

Fair enough.


That said, need to see some of these improvements come game time. That is the only way to truly see if he has or has not. Even so, good news all around regardless!

 

I like Spillane... coming off the bench. Other than camp phenom Tuzar who has the best chance to take his spot?

 

Tuzar was just released by the Titans btw. and he was an OLB but I get what you're saying.

I'm with Dulac and think Buddy Johnson will have a great camp. As to who is the starter next to Bush, I have to give it to Spillane. The wild card is UG3, is he finally over his injury problems and can he contend?

They are talking about having Watt, Highsmith and Ingram on the field at once, maybe that's a sign of things to come until things iron themselves out at the ILB spot.

 

Bush have the green dot? I like Spillane coming off the bench with the green dot.
Buddy was 3rd or 4th or what round?

 

Yes Bush will have the green dot and Buddy was a 4th rounder. Only one player on the field can wear the green dot so on the few times that Bush leaves the field I'm not sure who would get it. I'm sure that will be a fluid situation until preseason is over.

 

Patience is key. That said, to explode a la Bobby Wagner, Robert Spillane had better made unimaginable strides in terms of his athletic training..... and there is only so much he can do to max out his abilities. Aspects such as speed, explosiveness and agility are all inherent; very seldom that increases make substantial gains overall. There is a reason why Bobby Wagner is capable of such feats; athleticism to pair with intelligence; an elite player.


Robert Spillane can read his keys just fine. That said, he has to take the gamble when he sees the slightest opening between the Offensive Lineman and the gaps between them. If not, he will surely fail his assignment as his limited athleticism will not allow him to contend with chasing Running Backs along the sidelines; doubly so in the likes of Baltimore, Kansas City and Tennessee.

 

I thought Spillane played good early on, but I'm concerned how he faded and didn't look so great towards the end of the season.

If it was me, I would have gone with Vince.

 

That seemed to be the Steelers' preference, but Williams had other ideas.

 

He was coming back from a knee injury at the end of the season.
