Interesting fight for roster spots this year. I hope the Steelers can get a couple of draft picks for some veterans before the final cut (S. Logan, J. Hartwig, OTA W. Gay).datruth4lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491881345131204471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-24310405578607961372010-08-26T11:58:54.013-04:002010-08-26T11:58:54.013-04:00dale,

I went back and rewatched the game and I saw Urbik mauling a little in the run game and even picking off LB's on the second level. Is there anyway he could land that 9th OL spot? I think it is down to Urbik or J. Scott for that final slot. <br /><br />M. Pouncey is just a joy to watch. On the TD run by Wright, he picked off two people at the goal line. It's been awhile since I've seen a center with that type of quickness and athleticism that can get to the second level like he can. And to think, he's only 20 years old right now. By the time he's 24, he's going to be a BEAST.

He said that Eason hadn't shown that much this camp until the Giants game and that if the young DL showed that they could play, Eason could be bumped off the roster. Eason might have went through a gruesome operation and thank God he is okay, but that doesn't overcome the fact that he is still a fringe football player skillwise. He's not a starter in this league nor does he have any upside right now. I'd rather keep both of the kids, Worthington and Harris, and give the Steelers 3 young DL going fwd. I still hope that S. McClendon can make it back to play this preseason, but if not, then he'll be on the practice squad.datruth4lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491881345131204471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-86392223478343979372010-08-26T08:11:36.105-04:002010-08-26T08:11:36.105-04:00Glad you corrected the record and posted the story...Glad you corrected the record and posted the story about Eason since you made some fairly critical remarks about him really not being an NFL quality player in previous threads.adamgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-67457598883967168712010-08-26T01:28:36.159-04:002010-08-26T01:28:36.159-04:00You're just finding out about Eason now?You're just finding out about Eason now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-38933583708114510372010-08-25T23:20:41.357-04:002010-08-25T23:20:41.357-04:00soooo....
