I'll have to look into the Georgia guys. I don't know anything about them except the one tackle. It's so early. The thing is most draft analysts are just so very wrong.
Not a fan, even if they drafted for needs.
he has a good year, now we suggest we cut him? but when he sucks, no one cares. Some of these steelers twitter accounts are baffling
Believe I've already said this to you before, but I'm not sold on Berry. His numbers averaged out ok but he wasn't accurate and often botched a 20-30yd squib when they needed him to pin them deep in the 4th. He's just not a reliable punter.
oh im not disputing that. But when he ABSOLUTELY sucked, no one called for a cut, I know i did with him and boz. Heck he was awful and we resigned him. When re resigned him he was like the 29-30th ranked punter in most metrics. He improves, and the pundits say cut him. I just dont get it. What we do with our special teams is maddening IMHO. No, i wouldn't be opposed to bringing in someone else. But of all the moves that could be made, they choose this?
Cap context plays a major role. Last year they weren't as strapped as they are now. Last year they had money to play with, this year they do not.
Honestly I will probably struggle to get behind any talk of anything other than an O-lineman in the 2nd Rd. No matter how good the prospect is (RB, WR, etc). Ignoring the decline in the O-line will set them up for failure. Even with a pocket-savvy QB, the offense will struggle to move the chains on every possession. And like I said before, the mindset should be to turn this offense into a game managing, grinder-of-an-offense since they have the championship caliber defense to support its success, and because Ben's arm could be a ticking time bomb.
I really want to get behind Chuks, but I'm apprehensive about it given the departure of Munchak. Seeing how quickly the O-line declined with what was largely a returning group of starters, I'm not very optimistic about Sarrett moving forward. I hate to throw it all on coaching, but they went from a top 3-5 unit last year to a bottom 3rd. Don't know what the answer is, but I'd feel a whole lot more comfortable with throwing high end draft investment into the mix.
LG, RT & to some degree C & LT have all been liabilities at some point with inconsistent play. If Pouncey could sort out his snapping issues then he's still a solid starter.
I just meant on the whole over really the past 6-8 years, we've been quite lucky......
See I dissagree. I would never take a clearly inferior talent. I would take a star WR over a journeyman guard any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Now if it's close... yeah.
