DeCastro not ready for primetime

We'll take Blue, you go and ban him from your little Steeler's thread. There is a such a thing as being an NFL fan in general, shoot, how else do you suffer through 20+ years of abysmal NFL football in Cincinnati?

I live in the Pittsburgh area and converse with Steelers fans all the time. I should probably stop...I didn't realize that made me a Steelers fan.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Flaming lives in the Shittsburgh area.......that explains a lot.

 

[flamingrey]

Obsessed.

 

[Cincyfan78]

So much for objectivity, eh?

I like the Pittsburgh area, every gas station sells these little yellow towels you can use to wipe your butt or check your oil with.

Ghost is by far the most sensitive man on the SportsHoopla. It's disgusting.

:sad:

You also have to take into consideration what Defense DeCastro is going up against in training camp to!!! You better believe they are gonna be tough on him!!!!

Bengals have a better D-Line than the Steelers. ESPN and other outlets feel the same.

The Steelers have a much better defense than the Bengals do and it isn't close. They also blitz way more than we do. It's also hard to compare d-lines when we run a 4-3 and they do 3-4, though our d-line is our strength and their LB are theirs. Completely different base type defenses. Apples and oranges.

That said, I watched their first 2 series. DeCastro had no visible problems in the first series, even helped create a giant hole for a huge gain in the run game. The first play of the 2nd series, he got man-handled. He was pushed 5 feet back right from the get-go by the d-lineman. However, he stayed in front of his man the whole time and didn't allow a sack. Outside of that play, he played well. Mike Adams on the other hand struggled mightily at LT.

Steelers LT Mike Adams allowed 2.5 sacks within a span of 9 plays in the first quarter

Then he got hurt.

As always...don't draft OSU players.


Dan Herron has no chance.

I wouldn't read into this 1 BIT! He will be ready..he was shell shocked goin up against a number 1 defense... They will forever be compared and I will admit I wanted DeCastro but Now I'm happy we have Zeitler....I think he is exactly what we need....
