[Ironcitysteelers]

Maybe the steelers should start signing people to ensure they show up for offseason work

 

[Drink IRON City]

I think this will be a great opportunity, for some to start separating themselves, from the pack. Weather it be intelligence, or physical, it starts somewhere, might as well be here. Wouldn't it be great, if a total unknown, turned a few heads? I'm hoping for the best, even if just rookie camp!!!


Salute the nation

 

[Superman]

Brad Wing would be a nice addition.

 

[SteelerAl]

Brad Wing would be a nice addition.

He is not on a try-out; he's signed a contract. So he'll be in camp competing with Podlesh.

 

[TMC]

Vyncent Jones is a guy I would like to see get a shot in the preseason. I do not think he makes it, but he plays nasty and mean and I would not mind watching that in some preseason games. He is not so fundamentally sound and may not have the core athleticism/power you want, but he is a fun guy to watch, never know when he is going to earhole someone. Do not think they would add him over a guy like Adam Gress though, who has more NFL characteristics.

 

[Steelbooth]

Miguel Maysonet, RB, Stony Brook will make the team!

 

[ZACKB]

I want to see how Jordan Hall, rb OSU does. The kid can play.

 

[Wingman]

Interesting. The guys will get a playbook and we will then see how many actually read and study the thing. We may get some foot ball in shorts as well. Hopefully this speed also comes with rapid learning habits that can be used to our advantage for a change. Last time a player impressed with his rapid football smarts it was Pouncey, DeCastro was no slouch either in that regard. Lets hope our two defenders can pick up the scheme and responsibilities faster than the average bear. It seemed like it took Heyward a while to relearn his role in the defense but he is likely going to be far better than ziggy who tried hard but just could not seem to excel in the three four. Shazer seems like a natural leader from what I have been reading and definitely seems like a guy that could develop fast like Pouncey did.

[scstillerfan]

[Wingman]

[blitzburghv5]

Im already feenin for some football......****, ill even watch Arena league and CFL at this rate.....i hate this time of year.

 

[F83]

we need casey to teach mccullers on getting great leverage.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

If they drafted just by how guys looked in their underwear, Gress would have been a 1st rounder. PSU went through a few different OL coaches in his time. They also had a converted TE, Gary Gilliam, who they wanted to get some time at RT so he ended up splitting time with Gress.

He's an NFL lineman physically, but needs lots of work. A zone scheme would seem to fit him. He's a good practice squad guy.

Ok guys, first thing's first....don't hang out in sports bar parking lots at 2am in Denver

 

[Stlrs4Life]

Good Luck Jake Demedal!

 

[insaniti]

we need casey to teach mccullers on getting great leverage.

Gonna be hard for Casey to teach that to McCullers, Casey had good NATURAL leverage being that he was 6'1". It's much like Harrison, being shorter than the man you are going against will give you the leverage advantage. McCullers is going to have to work on that with someone who actually has experience getting down like that, Casey wouldn't be much help.
