I never understood one thing, why is Sean Kugler a good OL coach anyway? Why such a bad team as Buffalo was when we signed Sean didnt keep him around if he was a good OL coach anyway? To expensive? LOL I bet the Bills dont miss him now, do they?! I also bet it was Bruce Arians aka "Bad Jazz" idea, and to make things worse he even brought in our now dear buddy Jonathan Scott, "the worst starting left tackle in the league"! Seriously, this team is playing with fire, it cant work good for us this year like that .. there is NO WAY this team will win this season superbowl with the tackle AND guard situation right now, and can u imagine the disaster it would be if Maurkice Pouncey gets seriously injured? U know it can happen, it happened before, if he is out we are done, and probably there are only 2 other players we could say the same (Ben and Troy)…
And I keep asking myself year after year why the problems remain the same also year after year … I hope Mike Tomlin have enjoyed his first few years around 'cause he is probably facing a few others full of heat, loads of heat!
If this team wants to win this year superbowl they need to make some extreme moves, one would be an agressive approach to acquire an elite LT right now, we have 3 amazing young Wide Recievers that look like they can more or less do the same thing, I mean who is to say Antonio Brown or Manny Sanders cannot play the role of Wallace right now or in the very near future? I bet they can do it or at least to a very solid extent. Man, I tell u what , u want to win THIS SB? Trade Wallace for an elite LT from some bullshit team right now, I dont know if there is an elite LT in Cincy or Seattle or the Chiefs or even Titans, I dont know but if there is this guy out there, do it, I prefer this team with an elite Left Tackle than a good on the rise Wide out that actually looks very much like two others we already have… I mean we have a guy like Jericho Cotchery in a spot he will not even play right now, we dont need those 3 kids, one of them has to be traded because we will NOt even a Superbowl with Jonathan Scott or Trei Essex protecting Ben's blind side, thats a certainty..
About Lamaar Woodley, I tell u whats happening, he is never gonna get slimmer, and faster and agile as he once was because he does not have the genetics for that to happen, on the contrary, he has a perpetual tendency to get heavier n less agile, its so clear from watching him around, he should be a DE or play for another scheme, in our scheme we need someone faster like Greg Lloyd and James Harrison, thats why I always wanted to see Timmons on the other side of Harrison, that would be the most serious pass rushing tandem in the century. Lamar was good as a rookie but time will do no good for his body and the staff should know it, but it seems like they dont and they are to conservative and stubborn to make "unorthodox" modifications so, we wil have to watch Woodley struggle as he get less n less agile.. : /
Woodley is definitely not going to get much better, while his size is ok and the ability to play OLB is there, he hasn't shown he refuses to learn the position. He would be a good DE elsewhere but he just signed a ridiculous contract. Also I think it would have been worth it to see them fill Woodley spot this year.
the only thing he can do is the bull rush, totally one dimensional, I never liked the resigning of him. try Timmons at his spot for 60 minutes for 3 weeks and the guy will explode in sacks..
The speed at either end of the line with the ability of both guys to line up at any spot in the front 7 would be awesome
Everyone calm down. Woodley is fine. The defense is fine. Harrison is rounding into form after back surgery. The o-line health and quality is a legitimate concern, but the o-line was sub-par last year too. AB's kick returns are going to put up 7 multiple times this year. The Steelers actually have a dangerous returner.
There is no need to do anything drastic like trade 88 or AB. Trading Wallace would be the height of stupidity at this point. I'd worry about execution rather than personnel and adding/subtracting players. The squad is set.
The Steelers have not won the turnover battle once this year, and they are 2-1. They sky is not falling.
i think what u are saying is quite valid, I just dont think its gonna be enough to win th SB this year, and im not worrried with the D at all, but this OL, their lucky charms are long gone… Why do u think people get LT higher then WR n RBs? i would trade wallace for a pro bowl LT or even Guard at this stage in a pinch .. Do u really think he is thaaat much betterr then ES n AB? Good WRS, just as RBs are falling from the sky this days..
And makes absolutely no sense to have the kind of WR set we have if Big Ben is not being properly protected at the same time that we get a good running game going..
The only reason this team dont win the SB everyyear is the below average OL, drives me crazy.. But Im sure we will have a good OL when Troy n Silverback are old n Woodley turns to a NT.. Lol
When they were the sixth seed in 2005, no one thought they'd win the SB either. Same with GB last year. All they need to do is make the playoffs. They don't need to dominate every opponent. They just need to get to the post-season…then anything can happen.
You are right – LTs are much more valuable than WRs…so why would Wallace command an elite LT in return for a trade? At best, you'll get an average LT. No good. If ES and AB were better, wouldn't they be starting ahead of Wallace?
I didnt say they were better but possibly as good as or to a solid extent. About trading mike to a elite lt, u are right,, who would give out an elite left tackle for mike, but who knows, maybe u add something else, a pick, maybe the guy is not in great relationship with his team, m u never know..
