Hmm. I see he played in all 32 of the Steelers games the past two years, though he did not play in 8 of the first of their first 32 games to begin his career. Anywho, I have really liked his game since first watching him at SMU. Felt that he was overshadowed by Wallace and Brown in Pittsburgh. Looking forward to finding out how well he fills the seeming void that Decker left. I'm optimistic.

Statsheets don't do his injuries any justice. He was declared active even when he was hobbled by injuries. Concussions were a concern early in his career, but then it was nothing but hamstring/quad/calf issues. Kudos to him for playing through those injuries. When he was healthy he was a playmaker. He lined up as the X-receiver the last couple seasons in PIT, and I think he was the Z-receiver before that. Like Mike Wallace before him, being the X (widest receiver) he was mainly only getting deep route looks, often getting doubled with the Safety over the top. I bet he thrives in the slot role more. Time will tell.

The call in Super Bowl 40 that still baffles me is the illegal block call on a tackle by Hasselbeck... LOL that had to be the worst call in Super Bowl history... Illegal fucking block on a tackle... lol .. That was mind numbing on such a big stage... I just don't understand how a ref can make that call even in a pee wee league..

I was thinking maybe the refs figured Matt was so upset after throwing the pick he started blocking his own players to free up the return for Pitt... LOL ... He then realized OH SHIT I need to tackle him not block for him!!! TOO LATE illegal block!
