See!

No way no how. Are the Steelers picking a center in the first round unless they have multiple picks.

And another thing. A lot of you have been talking about how great of a coach Tomlin is but i can tell your not very happpy about what has happened so far in the draft. What hypocrits. Some of you say you love what he says to the media and perhaps his team. But now because you didnt get the center you wanted I bet your skeptical again.

In closing. If you want to be a real Steeler fan. Stop crying. Dont you remember one of Tomlin’s most frequent quotes " Trust the process". Why dont you all just do that.

C-Mac

what are you talking about? It’s true, I am a proponent of strengthening the OL, but Ziggy Hood hardley seems like a pick to cry over. Tomlin says he’s a Steeler type. I’m good with his opinion. Mack or Wood would have been gravy, but both gone by the time we picked. No worries so far especially none that would accuse us of being hypocrits. What’s your deal? Who’s your team? And always remember, it’s our dog to kick or praise, being Steelers fans. Which i was born into since 1971.

Like it so far

Looking at his highlight he definitely looks like a steeler guy. He contains the QB, but never takes his eyes off the ball and can follow it down field for the bend don’t break style we’ve had over the years (although last year there was some breaking, but it was done by us).
