The Steelers have to resign Starks and Foster.

whatever. keep telling yourself that.

 

Wager? I've you got video proof. By the way your boy Mike Adams is the one that let his man get to Ben first.

 

so what? max and colon couldn't keep one guy off of ben and thats the hit that hurt him. i'm done with this topic.

 

What hurt him was holding onto the ball. Last year it was 7-8 seconds and this year it was 5-6.

 

well in a couple of season he should be 2-3

 

LMAO

By the time he's using a walker he will have learned his lesson.

 

I dont think that there was enough to make a judgement...thought he played like a rookie making his first couple starts...but he also played well at times...for a rookie... i think he will be starting for 8+ years for us..

 

i was telling my cousin the same thing about adams...Rt is usually the Mauler...i wouldnt mind leaving him there...

 

i 'm curious to see where will be the future of bechum , seems he is growing up fast and has versatility .

 

Our post and vitrio about our much vaunted line is comical, the comedy has gone on for years. or sad.

Both will be back, Max for one more year, me thinks.

 

He's got the body of a guard, that's for sure (6'3", 305#). Maybe he takes some snaps at LG this offseason.

 

starks is who he is. doesn't mean he doesn't have value.. ideally, adams will develop and starks will back him up, but adams still has some ways to go, along with having to get used to another o-line coaches style...foster is reliable and holds his ground.. no, he's not going to be pulling any time soon but as a drive blocker, i have no problem..i actually liked the brief experiment in pre-season when they tried foster at right tackle....he looked quite comfortable at the position..i guess i'm in the minority here about colon.. i liked him at lg... the penalties will decrease with experience... my only issue is injury...if we can't count on colon for a full season, then he needs to be replaced... if he can stay healthy, then we have a very effective player.... beachum could ultimately be groomed for the position.... pouncy and decastro are obviously set, although, decastro will need more time in the weight rm. during the off-season....gilbert is quickly losing my support... i'm not sure how often i want to see gilbert driven into the backfield or knocked on the ground.......as a back-up, he may have value though......

ultimately, i think our ideal o-line may be adams, colon, pouncey, decastro, foster

 

If we could get Starks back cheap to be a backup I'd be okay with it... But we have a good young core with Adams, Gilbert, and Beachum.

 

We definitely have to clear up some cap space. There's no way we go to the OLine in the first 2 rounds of the draft again.
Starks will be gone because he is just OK and will command starter money.
Colon will be back because he would still cost us too much if he were cut. I'm hoping for some restructuring here.
I'm anxious to see what our young 2nd year guys can do when they are healthy and have some experience under their belt!
If we can stay healthy, we will be probably be talking about how great our Oline is one year from now.
Foster is the big question mark. He could start elsewhere and we will probably have him as a backup.
With our history of injuries, I would like to keep Foster, but he will cost us.
Much of this will come down to the FO deciding on who to keep and cut (and who is willing to restructure their contract) based on the money situation.

 

hey TE does this clear anything up for you? did i mention anyone of our new guys or anything about not wanting a zone blocking scheme? do i say pouncey, DD, adams, beachum, maleacki or legursky are to slow anywhere? i didn't think so.
