Fautanu out indefinitely

[BLITZ]

Practice. How the hell does that even happen. They don't even have contact in practice. For Gawds sake.

especially a Friday practice.

 

[Fiji Mariner]

I agree. When the wife says “you’re not getting sex indefinitely”. ….its not happening for awhile. A long while. .

I thought in that scenario she was saying you’re getting it “in definitely” assume the sale

 

[Fiji Mariner]

You forgot the Hot Dog ingredients !!!


Salute the nation

The ingredients a$$hole, waste parts, scrap meat, artificial preservatives…oh wait that’s just what I call some of the new resident trolls that keep crawling outta the woodwork

On the bright side I saw Russ was hitting the blocking sleds hard on Friday to prove his game readiness

That blocking sled has been kicking some dudes *****, might wanna put him out there come
Sunday

 

[madinsomniac]

Who? Cook?

Yeah. Cook was one of two preseason IR guys designated for return, but he can't be activated till week 5

 

[TDX27]

Dulac of the PG is saying he will miss most, if not all of the season just like Herbig.

 

[Trump Is Gangsta]

Unfortunate news about Fautanu. With that said, if the past 17 years has been a prelude of what's in store, our coach won't have the rest of the team ready anyway, and it's not like we have a QB who can read a defense or find the end zone. So, I wouldn't exactly call Fautanu's absence the straw that broke the camel's back here.

 

[Troglodyte]

PPG is reporting most if not entire season.

So, three years after being drafted to be the Steelers LT, Broderick Jones will become the Steelers LT… perhaps.

 

[Punxsutawney]

So, the worst case scenario.

Any reporting on whether this is a continuation of the knee issue he had in college?

If so, it does not bode well for his future.

Didn’t know he had a knee injury in college, didn’t even know they played football on the left coast anymore so I’m admittedly unknowing of his college career and injury history.

If he had a knee injury of significance in college why the hell was he being rushed back while nursing a knee injury?

That’s a head scratcher.

 

[DBS1970]

Well that certainly does suck.

Haven't heard it was a continuation of college but definitely the injury he had to his MCL in the preseason.

Ok, I thought maybe Jones or Moore hit the injury report.

When you take talent that falls with either medical or character issues......buyer beware.

I'd still argue that he was worth the risk, given his talent.

It could still work out, though it's looking questionable right now.

That being said I don’t think the Steelers should place all their chips on him making it through next season. So either resign Moore or draft another T or bring in a free agent.

I just do not see the Steelers going OL high in the draft three years in a row, especially considering they just took Frazier in the second round.

If you keep going to the same well constantly, it comes at the expense of other parts of the team. Khan would then be making a similar mistake to what Colbert made by drafting receivers in the second round year after year.

A lot will depend on how Jones performs the rest of the season. If he doesn't improve drastically, Moore would become a mandatory resign and they would maybe have no choice but to go OT again, at the expense of WR, DL or CB.

Missing on consecutive first round OTs would be devastating, as the Steelers do not have much margin of error due to the QB situation.

 

[SteelerSask2]

I would not draft another T high gotta be receiver. If Moore is even mid he will be priced way out of Steelers budget unless Jones or Fautanu are done permanently. Too much draft capital to pay what he will be asking. This us how you pay for mistakes. And I not saying Fauntana was a mistake but misjudging Moore and need might be. Other needs might look way bigger.

 

[FordFairLane]

especially a Friday practice.

"We wouldn't select [Troy Fautanu] if we weren't comfortable with it, and I can't speak for some of the stuff that's put out there and what's true and what's not and what other people are saying, head coach Mike Tomlin“

 

[Drink IRON City]

Try this approach, Broderick played the best RT last year and yesterday than anyone else of late, including Chukes.

Dan Moore played very acceptable yesterday at LT. So far it’s a winning combination.

True, Broderick Jones was drafted 1st round, but we don’t know the timeline to get him to LT if that was truly the plan.

Moore apparently can't play RT because one leg is shorter than the other or so I read....Jones' time at LT will be next year when Moore leaves I would guess.
