thesteelhurtin Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Willie colon is moving to lg opening up a spot for adams. This is huge if adams lives up to his first rd grade. It would be adams/colon/pouncey/decastro/gilbert. The best part all are under 30 and 4 are under 24. The steelers have done good as of late drafting for the line. I'm not truely excited about 2 rookies starting the oline but I still should be a huge upgrade from last season. In a year or two the steelers could have the best oline in th league.

papasmurfbell Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I don't know if Adams is ready this yr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesteelhurtin Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 I think he could be. It depends on starks if he comes back and is ready it will be him but if not adams as a rookie is still better then any other option we have either way I'm pretty excited about the future of this line as long as they can eep this together.

papasmurfbell Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 He needs a lot more work in the weight room before he is ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesteelhurtin Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Everything I have read said he had an undisclosed deep shoulder bruise. My thinking is the steelers called colon riht after the draft and told him he would be playing guard. Bouchette thinks he will be starting. Only time will tell but pouncey and gilbert did fine and gilbert is not adams when it comes to potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hey in the long run this might be the right move. Say they bite tthe bullet and don't perform well but get young guys set to run faster in the future. In 2013 a better picking postion continues the transition to the touth movement.

thesteelhurtin Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yeah let him take his lumps(ben also) but bye week 8 he should be coming around. He was at one time the 2nd rated ot in the draft the off field issues are the only reason he is a steeler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Also there is the rookie wall and I have seen it happen. If he works out well come late nov he will really could start tailing off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesteelhurtin Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 its just such a relief with or without him being up to par this oline is so muc better then last year. Now I just hope we don't have 7 different starting olines like we did last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
