Going into the draft I figured David DeCastro would be long gone before the Steelers picked so I had my sights set on Poe but after his beastly workout at the combine the Steelers chances of getting him decreased significantly. THANK GOD! turns out the guy is currently the 3rd string NT and the team is saying he has a long way to go before he sees any real playing time. Things always work out for the Steelers in the long run....Steve-Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04777180013652920920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-6375139630977948352012-08-13T19:05:10.296-04:002012-08-13T19:05:10.296-04:00Still think Legursky is the odd man out if Foster ...Still think Legursky is the odd man out if Foster shows he can handle at least the RT spot. Legursky got manhandled at G last year and eventually lost his job to Foster. Essex can, if needed, play all 5 OL positions. That's more valuable than a guy who is primarily the back up C and not good enough to be the back up at both G spots.adamgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-87763675490848406822012-08-13T16:27:08.130-04:002012-08-13T16:27:08.130-04:00They moved Foster out there because they want to g...They moved Foster out there because they want to give him an extended opportunity to prove if he can be the swing guy.

I think you are correct, or at least the coaches are considering it. We all know how they like position flexability, and it would appear they are grooming Foster for just such a role. I would say Adams, DeCastro, and Pouncy will only play one position, so Gilbert and Colon can swing, and Foster and Essex would seem to complete the puzzle. I like Legursky, but someone has to go, and he is just not physically strong enough and he lacks the athletisism of Foster.Lancenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-8563919678088523822012-08-13T11:10:32.076-04:002012-08-13T11:10:32.076-04:00I am curious about moving Foster to OT.

AFAIK, he's never played a down there in the NFL although that was his college position.<br /><br />I didn't think Legursky looked that great at C last Thursday and Essex<br />was surprisingly competent when he had to fill in at C last year. I'm wondering if working Foster at OT means he and Essex will be the two main back up OL on game day and Legursky might not make the team given he<br />didn't play that well at OG last season?adamgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-65747610904248326722012-08-13T02:24:35.913-04:002012-08-13T02:24:35.913-04:00Wouldn't it be a better idea to leave Gilbert ...Wouldn't it be a better idea to leave Gilbert at RT and use Essex at LT until Starks and/or Adams return? Why change two OL spots because of one injury? I'd think it would be more important for Gilbert to get all the practice he can at RT and to build chemistry with DeCastro.Robbienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-36563824089632234122012-08-12T23:36:34.127-04:002012-08-12T23:36:34.127-04:00I don't think it is so much teh RBs as the OL ...I don't think it is so much teh RBs as the OL still being a work in progress.<br />Batch Rainey and Will Johnson showed good running ability in the open areas of the field.
