Steeler Fans Think They've Hit the Lottery

The Gipper

I never heard of Pouncey until a day or two ago. I mean, he is a center. Every team needs a good center. Whether they have one totally remains to be seen. Our guy seems to be working out. It is a crap shoot if theirs does.

our guy did OTA's, camp, preseason, and reg season--essentially a double season compared to what he was used to--and started every game with no significant drop-off from Fraley to him. by the end of the year it could be argued he exceeded Hank physically.

i'd say that's pretty damn awesome year one.

let's see how Pouncey handles it for them, cuz it CAN'T be easy to do that in the AFCN...especially with Shaun Rogers leading the welcoming committee.

Alex Mack is a stud. no discussion needed.

A center that can snap the ball and then pull around the edge and lead Cribbs is a beast. Not to mention he was mullllllling people while doing it.

The Steelers need line help, the pick makes sense, but he has big shoes to fill to be compared to what we have in A. Mack (In what he has shown and his potential moving forward).

Assuming Rogers doesn't miss half or most of the season. Either way you're hitting the wrong Steelers message board. Yes people like the Pouncey pick but no one, at least not on my primary board are throwing Mack under the bus. I definitely wanted Alex Mack and plenty of others felt the same. Two good centers.

Werent they making fun of us last year for taking a center that high, then this year they take one. Isnt it Ironic

miktoxic

they listed pouncy as C/OG so i guess he's versatile on the line, but does that mean he's a true center? watching to see what the rest of their FO is going to do. need more line help and a wide receiver.

What? Plenty of people wanted Mack last year and Toxic they'll start him at guard for a year so he can learn all the calls and move him to center next year. I also don't think we need more line help. Starks, Kemo, Hartwig, Pouncey, Colon. Sounds good to me.

EDIT: I'd also like Damien Williams and Legarette Blount at some point today, but I imagine they'll go corner and wait for Blount on Saturday.

if the steelers drafted the guy off the back of a beer truck they would strike gold

Pouncey was a great pick...missed their guy last year, got him this year

Pouncey was one of the safest picks of the first round. As the draft grew closer, mocks had him going as high as 11 or 12 overall. He is a starter from day 1 reguardless of the team that drafted him, whether its at C or RG. He is 6'4 304 pounds, and doesn't turn 21 until the end of July, but still has 3 years of starter experience with the Florida Gators. Pouncey is another center in our long tradition of great, durable centers.

I was just over at a Steeler board and they are ecstatic with their pick of Pouncey. I will admit, he's a pretty solid pick up. We have no idea how he will work out though, just like with Mack. However, they are all talking trash about how he is loads better than Alex Mack and how they are all happy that we got Mack, just knowing that he will fail. A year ago, they were all crying that the Browns got him and hated that we traded down for him. Know, they think he is nothing. It's one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard in my life. Then again, it is coming from bandwagon Steeler fans. I guess they all just jumped on the Pouncey bandwagon after falling off the one for Mack.
Also, did anyone else see the tape of Pouncey? He and his family look like the biggest bunch of hillbillies in the world. They will fit in nicely in Pittsburgh.

blaaaaa blaaa.... They were ALL crying ? lol... And I am pretty Sure most of us were NOT Happy at all about not getting Mack. seriously this post is stupid bs !

All the good Steeler discussions are on this board, since Browns fans obsess about the Steelers more than Steelers fans do. I am not kidding, look at the number of threads about the Steelers on here and look who starts them, is all I'm sayin.....

Now back to football! Pouncey pick made sense, though I don't like him as much as I liked Mack before the draft last year but he could be damn good. They do like linemen who can play more than one position. Pgh likes a long apprenticeship but their OL stinks so my bet is Pouncey does not get one.

Was it me or when Pouncey was on video did he kiss his friend or brother on the lips?

DING DING DING !!! Thank you. Stinking losers like to whine that we >Invade> their precious space. Yet as you stated all these discussions about Pittsburgh. If you dont want us here , just stop talking Pittsburgh Football. Otherwise. I dont come here and Run the Browns into the Ground. I talk football. By the way I Like the McCoy Pick... good fit.
