Is that the franchise found the bottom and hit it hard. Also, though we got the short end on draft picks we made out better than anyone else. That would be the first step in the long climb up.

Encouraging news about Ziggy! Great news if he can contribute significantly this season. Not so great news perhaps for Keisel. Interesting description of Colon. Not what the haters would expect.

If he think Colon is a “bull,” wait until he goes up a good player like LT Eric Thomas or Clady from the Broncos. He’ll probably look as lost as Mendenhall did last preseason.

I watched film this past week from the Super Bowl and the game against the Patriots. Someone needs to put together some clips on all the occasions that Steelers got pushed back on goal line and short yardage plays during the season.

Amazing that they won a championship and struggled so much in the trenches.

“The first practice was going fine until he came along, and that really opened me up because he came right at me like a raging bull. There was nothing I could do about it.”

That was most likely before the snap. It’s commonly known as a false start.

I remember that coin toss well. When the Steelers drafted Joe Greene we both were wondering who he was. After suffering thru prior Steeler no drafts to drafting guys like Bob Ferguson….Dick Leftridge…Jim “Cannonball” Butler, etc. I definitely remember my dad saying, “Same old Steelers.” Believe when I say at that time both of us were not in the habit of getting overly excited by the Steeler drafts anymore.

Lets hope Ziggy eats Colon for breakfast at TC. Man! That dose’nt sound too appetizing.
As I write this W Colon and Max Starks just appeared on the Penguins warmup show.

Okay – that’s awesome. What a season, great video.

Lucky 7 next year.

Pens won tonight which was pretty kickin.

I’m looking forward to seeing both this years and last years draft class combine into one super draft class this year and basically violating the opponents in many ways

Most of us saw this group and were fairly pleased with it, but with Hines speaking out about a lack of depth I had to think. First off, he’s clearly trying to push the younger guys to constantly get better. But second, when you look at our WR’s you do notice a slight lack of experience, outside the SB MVP’s of course. McDonald has legit NFL experience, but in primarily one system, Mike Martz’s, which is pass happy system and has inflated stats of similar receivers in the past. Plus its his first year in our offense. He should be fine, but expect (at least) some transitional dificulties. Limas and Wallace are young and fairly unproven, so assuming they can contribute is just that, an assumption. Is there a chance of adding one more depth player, just before camp as added motivation? Brandon Williams has been decent from what I’ve read, but he’s still a question mark.

Anybody think maybe Marvin Harrison might be interested? He’s not going to give you great production (I would think, but I’ve been wrong before) and adding yet another GREAT receiver would really help the young guys even more. Maybe not Harrison, but I feel another proven vet wouldn’t hurt. Thoughts? I’ve got a loooong shot theory about next year, but for fear of ridicule, will hold it back for now.
