Some interesting tidbits found here: Mt. Washington and Fields updates.

Where is George???

 

[Fiji Mariner]

TJ looks F-A-T , couldn’t even beat the coach to the outside……………….. He needs to take a pay cut…..


Salute the nation

You know what they say about guys with big heads and small hands

Need to eat more

The whole team should take a paycut to support those cheap *** Rooneys, what are they doing paying people anyways???

 

[slashsteel]

Where is George???

They aren’t focusing in on him. They are trying to zoom in on these 4th,5th, and 6th WRs hoping for a miracle. Once Latrobe hits you will hear more of say like the Pickens Porter Jr. matchups.

 

[TDX27]

Washington making crazy catches in the endzone again. I wonder if they'll finally use him in a game in the redzone. Throw it high. The dude is uncoverable.

Arther likes his TEs that will be obvious as long as they produce..

40 or 50 years ago there werent offseason workout programs or OTAs... training camp was when out of shape players worked their way into football shape... ... frankly id rather any vet not on their first contract stay away from OTAs unless they are learning a new system or position... all their presence does is take away valuable coaching time from the younger players that need it

40 or 50 years ago an edge rusher wasn't paid 112 million over 4 years. In fact the entire team budget including travel was probably less then 5 per year..

Not a big deal (until it is) but the rats action Jackson hasn’t been present for voluntarily OTAs and this is following unrelated reports of losing some weight (intentional) in the offseason to get faster on the field. First he is leaving 750,000 on the table for not achieving his offseason workout bonus. Then it is what message are you sending when he is freshly off some new money in his pocket. No reason for him not to be out there , that SB winning QB has been after all.

Some might not think this is no big deal but I think I would be annoyed if it was on our table.

Again no overall big deal unless it turns into one.

..to keep perhaps one eye open in that direction.

750,000$
Like that is chicken feed. Man oh man.
They should be ashamed.
How many packages of rice,pasta etc could be donated to a food bank for that type of money.

not for nothin', but wouldn't being at OTA's help with weight loss?
*shrugs* but what do I know. I like bacon.

Never seen a TE look like a rag doll.....until now.

I have family that is vegetarians and one that is almost vegan. So I have tweaked what I eat for health and to try some of their approach knowing I could never fully commit to a change permanently. But one thing I refuse to tweak is bacon. Hell I am picky on brands without trying to sub in a fake option.

A great bacon you just aren’t replacing. I see a BLT in my immediate future and it is the one food that I won’t mind having extra per serving. Obviously I can’t have it often if I follow a diet regimen. But when I have it? There is no substitutions and it’s go time!

I just cannot do it… that’s turn to being a vegetarian. I’m too damn weak and just love a good steak, prime rib, pork chops, chicken, fish.
I do like veggies but not a steady diet of just veggies.
Oh and bacon is a must. When I need my protein I whip up a good omelette filled with cheese and BACON.
BLT is a plus too!

The team could take that same action, with no federal tax....

How do you cook yours?

 

[slashsteel]

How do you cook yours?

Either smoke it or bake it in the oven. I actually like a generic brand of hickory smoked…

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

my smoker only goes up to maybe 275.. I always forget about oven method.

I hope the hell so. I thought he would have gotten some of that action last year.

Jones is a massive athletic human. The last two drafts have really injected some talent into that lines. I count Washington as one of those OL guys too.

I'm counting on them to smash people this year.

The oven is less messy and it crisps up nicely compared to stove frying. With say a smoker I like to use that as wrapping the bacon around whatever. Can’t go wrong with either approach.

Yep they have built those Olines up with the idea of knocking either players on their arse or out of the way. But not just that but being able to move in space and pull. Athletes and maulers combined.

Can OL coach Meyer do it?

[Steelr4evr]

I have no idea. I hope so. It's on the coaches now.

It's been a long time, hell so long that anyone who isn't 20-23 years old right now has never seen or can remember the Steelers winning a superbowl live.

We should have a clear picture by game 10 or so next season.

We will all be really happy or here we go again. Either way, I'll just enjoy it for whatever it becomes along the way.

 

[xjx]

Plumtree is 2 receptions on 2 passes thrown for touchdowns. They have tried him on punt returns. Just seeing if there is a way he can make the squad.

 

[stillerfaninfl]

Imagine if Munch was coaching the guys the stillers now have on the OL. Damn.....
