Steelers' Offseason Signings

[AsianRice]

I don't know why we care about those Stealers acquisition unless their locker room dramatic meltdown.....

[Corvus]

The Steelers got pretty good value with Moats and Mitchell, two very solid if not spectacular in-their-prime players. Everything else has been of the "meh" variety as far as their free agency goes. Moore will be an adequate replacement fot Cotchery though I always thought Jerricho was the better player. Still amazed by the love affair on these forums with Blount. He is a definitive one trick pony, the Steelers can have him, battering rams to break down with use like anything else.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Lance Moore was their best signing imo.

[Corvus]

no, DHB is not our number two.........Wheaton is

Brown-WR1

Wheaton-WR2

Moore-WR3

ROOKIE-WR4

DHB-WR5

We finished better than you last year.......dont think we arent going to be right there with you again, I see us competing for the division as well

Serious observation here. Don't you think its a little "bass ackwards" that the Steelers through tie breakers wound up 2nd in the AFC North but because of a lower opponent winning percentage or something they pick BEFORE the Ravens in the draft?

yea i was shocked by that too.........as i understand it, it is because league wide tie breakers are different than division ones....but yea its a loophole that needs to be looked at

 

also im in love with the blount signing........i was so happy the day i found out about it.

 

our running game is going to be one of the best next year

 

Bell-Stud RB

Blount-Good #2 RB

 

Pouncey-Pro Bowl center

Decastro-Pro bowl Guard

Foster-Solid Guard

Beachum-Great back up for every position on the line

Adams/Gilbert-Under performing Tackles but with alot of potential

 

Munchak-Best O-Line coach in the NFL(IMO)

 

this is the best talent Munchak has had to work with and he has made some great lines

Munchak should do wonders for those OL

Munchak is definitely one of the best in the biz, probably since he spent so long in the trenches himself. Beachum was pretty impressive for your team last year and if Munchak can coach him up some more, you guys may have found a diamond in the rough, blind side protector, pretty impreasive. I've not been impressed by Adams and Gilbert on the flip side of that though, maybe Munchak can do the same for them because neither has lived up to expectations for your fanbase so far. I know Adams was a 2nd round pick, was Gilbert one as well the previous year or a 3rd round pick?

Either way, I guess theyre no worse though than some of the Ravens 3rd round linemen: Jah Reid, Oniel Cousins, there's a long list of mid to late round o-linemen that haven't panned out for us to put it lightly, hahaha

yea Gilbert and Adams were a second.

 

Pouncey and Decastro a first.

 

Beachum a seventh

 

Foster was undrafted.

 

It could turn out we have finally fixed our line....they played great the second half of last year, even without pouncey

[tolucaraven]

Heyward is great

Worilds is good

mclendon is good

Jones will be good this year

Heyward is good.

Worilds is solid.

McClendon is below average

Jones is suspect..little slow and small for rush end.

we just need a DE

[Ozzsome]

I still hate the Steelers for selecting Jarvis Jones last year. I think he will be great

[lgcs27288]

no, DHB is not our number two.........Wheaton is

 

Brown-WR1

Wheaton-WR2

Moore-WR3

ROOKIE-WR4

DHB-WR5

I see the AFC North being one of the most competitive divisions next year (with the Steelers coming in last, no offense.) If Cleveland has a decent QB they are going to be dangerous. There was a bold predictions article on NFL.com I believe, with one of the predictions being the Browns finish ahead of the Steelers this year in the division.

He has stenosis, slow, undersized, small frame. Was AWFUL in his pro day and was pushed around by OTs and TEs. One Sack in a year of rushing the passer is bad. He had a loaded defense at Georgia around him who gobbled blockers and he had a lot of clean up sacks.

I agree, the Browns were good until Hoyer got hurt.

yea they said that last year too......and they were wrong

 

steelers have finished fourth in the division like twice in the last 30 years.........theres a better chance of the raiders winning the AFC than that happening

Decastro got pushed around his rookie year like crazy......but he adjusted to the pros and now he is one of the best guards in the NFL........rookie years dont always go as planned

[display name]

Just like the Browns. They had a quarterback who was about to have the best season that any QB had ever had in Cleveland since Derek Anderson in '07 and then he gets hurt, and so again they're stuck with a mix of Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell. That has to be frustrating.

[tolucaraven]

Decastro is a good Guard. BUT his rookie year was not really a year cause of his injury. Decastro is a legit talent. Jones is not and was not injured. You are comparing Apples to Grapefruits.

But the fact remains that the games decastro did play he got overpowered alot..........that does not happen anymore because he adjusted.....jones needs more than a half year to call him a bust

[Cville-Raven]

The DHB signing intrigues me. Im curious to see if they can improve him. Im my mind the Steelers will at least come in second place. I think the Bengals will regress a bit. Depending on our O-line I see the battle of the AFCN between the Ravens and Pitt.

They havent been for TWO years now. They lack talent and depth, especially defensively.

Decastro played PART of à year after shreading his leg. Of course he got pushed around.

they split with us last year and were less than three points from making the playoffs.

Bye a tiebreaker. Many teams were 8-8. The AFC was weak and the Ravens OL was awful. Miami, NYJ, Balt and Pitt were all 8-8. Jets and Ravens offense was putrid.

[NARavenRush]

i love our moves........they are all very interesting and young

You call Ben, Heath, & Troy good moves? I call it "the over the hill gang". It reminds me of the Redskins years ago. Like Sonny and Sam. Another 8-8 season coming up.

The only threat the Steelers have with me is if I accidentally put one of their players in my fantasy football team.

P.S. Are you a traffic controller for a road construction crew??  Or are you asking directions

Your avatar, I would assume

although i could continue to disagree ill just change the player to avoid needless debate.......Troy P did not have a great rookie year and he is a future hall of famer.......not all players contribute their first year, but jones did show promise.

Hahaha wow you picked three good players. Heath was great last year when he came back.....changed our offense.

Ben had one of his best years last year......he was a super bright spot

and Troy was good last year too...he was finally healthy and it showed....he isnt a superstar anymore but he is still a playmaker

 

and how are those moves.........nothing happened with ben.....do you not like that we chose not to cut him.....

 

I was talking about the new signings.....the players we brought in

 

The only threat the Steelers have with me is if I accidentally put one of their players in my fantasy football team.

I guess you didnt have Antonio Brown like I did......he won me my league
