Im especially concerned about McKinnie. This guy got a bonus based on his weight, he then participated in all OTAS, which was the second part of said bonus, and then shows up out of condition? I know a few months back i started a thread re his motivation being his debt due to a 3mil loan he took out for the lockout, at first i was only half heartedly behind that, but now seeing how he can do enough to get 1/2 mil bonus, then one month later be out of condition again its pretty clear, money is his sole motivator.

Question is, now hes made that bonus, and probably believes we need him enough to not cut him, will he just do "enough" to make this team to get his 2012 paycheck? If thats the case, would we be better off cutting our loses and running? Move Oher back, give Jah a chance, sign a vet on the market etc.

This like of commitment from him is beginning to piss me off

I would pull an Atlanta it if it meant securing our LT spot for the 10-15 years.

trade like 5 picks. That sounds seductive, but it's never right.

This is exactly why I wanted a true LT in the draft. We have no true left tackles other than McKinnie.

I wonder if Ozzie even gave tackle Mike Adams a thought when we traded out of the first round. He was considered a top first round talent, but tested positive for drugs at the combine. I think the Steelers made a great pick if he keeps his personal life clean.

Mike Adams is a bigger less athletic version of Oher. I rather have upshaw.

From a BR.com story today: "Harbaugh was asked what McKinnie has to show the coaches in order to be on the field for the first day of training camp.

“We will leave that between us,” Harbaugh said. “That’s something that is an in-house type of thing right now. Bryant has done a good job, he’s worked hard. [b]It’s not as simple as some of you guys want to make it.[/b] It’s just a situation where we are going to do what is best for the team, what is best for Bryant.”

Just speculating here, but I am getting the feeling that there is more here than just an out of shape conditioning issue. Just a feeling I have.

I am very happy with the Upshaw pick myself, but hate to think the Steelers got a steal, no pun intended.

Almost every left tackle in the league is bigger and less athletic than Oher.
