[SteelerInLebanon]

Now lets hope he sucks for them and doesn't help them win an games.

Ok feel a little better. But still think that isn't helping Kenny...

 

[NYSteel]

What would you take for him?

As high a draft pick as possible.

I think he's been playing thru some injuries, and frankly, hasn't looked good. He catches the ball really well, but as a runner, he's a bit indecisive.

From what I've seen so far.... We struck free agent gold in Warren... And they know it.

On paper? No. But it may change things up some and be good.

Is it the bears 2nd round or the ravens 2nd round?

Ravens

Steelers need OL & DL. Linemen are so often overlooked but they are the difference in whether a team is competitive or not. The hogs on both sides of the football need to be replaced. Then and only then will this team be competitive. Don't believe me just look at The Bungles.

Not sure I follow- because the Bengals had one of the worst O-Lines in the game last year and made it to the SB lol. KC also is known for having a bad line.

I think in todays game- exceptional QB and WR play can largely overcome poor line play. This aint your daddy's 'ground-and-pound' era.

This is the Bears 2nd round pick and not the pick acquired from the Ratbirds.

You sure?

 

[Confluence]

This would have made more sense with Austin not being IR'd

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

You sure?

It was reported a little bit ago by Schefter. For what that is worth.

I thought he was IR'd?oh nevermind I read it wrong. Gotya

 

[steelhurt]

If Bears second round pick it’s a great move. They were not going to resign Claypuff anyways so this return far exceeds what you would get from compensatory pick.
Good riddance Claypuff!
Now let’s get rid of others for draft capital.
Bet shades is pissed! Have to think this is all
Andy and Omar.
Don’t worry boys, we ain’t losing much here. Now we can gives those balls to
George.

 

[Troglodyte]

As if we needed another reason to root against the Ravens.

The game is won and lost in the trenches. Steelers had a terrible patchwork Oline in 2008 too and won the Super Bowl but they had no choice but to rebuild in 2010. Bungles are seeing that now.

 

[Shane Falco]

He might make them better.

He might install a jet sweep option on stealing second base

 

[oicu8ad]

Woot now the team has two 2nd round picks..woot

...And two VERY HIGH 2nd round picks.

 

[slashsteel]

I wonder if Claypool's mouth factored in. He seemed like he had no problem speaking his mind.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

I was hoping he could pitch. He sure can't coach.

Play two TE sets more with DJ and Pickens. With Muth we have three valid targets and more run blocking. We SHOULD run and pass more from this set. But we never keep em guessing.

So we'd be running two WR's and two TE's all running 5 yard routes outside the numbers?

Again, this is an antiquated adage from yesteryear. Today's game is won by teams with elite playmakers on either side of the ball. And more importantly a Star QB.

 

[SteelBuckeye]

I love the move. A 2nd rounder is great compensation. This season is lost and Claypool has shown he’s not a slot WR which is what the Steelers would need him to be with DJ and Pickens outside.

Give Sims some time in slot or maybe they trade for a slot guy.

Is Miller still on the practice squad?

That wouldn't be my plan, but probably would be Matt's.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

IR I thought.

 

[Djfan]

The Bear's real one.

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

very important question

I’m sure our FO doesn’t know either
