BTSC Daily Six Pack - Frank the Tank Edition

IX- The excitement behind drafting Frank "The Tank" Summers has long ago faded far into the back of our memory. Summers is a large physical back who, after the draft, drew the expected "The next Jerome Bettis" comparisons. With such lofty expectations Summers was set-up to disappoint, but a season ending back injury early in the season removed his name from our radars. If you are, like me, interested in what was happening with The Tank, Kelly Davies of Athlete Chat caught up with Summers during the season and just posted the story. The article dives into his injury a bit and discusses his rehabilitation. Oddly enough, he appears motivated by the process and believes he will return to the line-up in "the best shape of his life." Maybe with a good training camp we can start comparing him to The Bus again.
X- There is a rumor out right now that Larry Foote is likely to sign a 3 year deal with the Steelers in the next couple of days. I am not 100% sure if this is accurate or not, but I enjoy the idea of it being true. I know a lot of people are skeptical about the Steelers signing older, "nostalgic" players, but Foote is only 29 and looked great in Detroit last year. He offers great depth at LB and could even replace Farrior if he out performs him in camp.
XIII- Santonio Holmes was on Mayhem in the AM on 790 the Zone in Atlanta for an interview. Inevitably, Holmes was asked about the Ben Roethlisberger situation. Here is what he had to say:
On my Twitter page, people have been hitting me up telling me to tell Ben to stay out of nightclubs and keep him this, this and that. I’m like he’s a grown man, he’s entitled to do whatever he wants to do.
I will not elaborate more on this, because I feel like the situation has become a dead horse beaten up like Mike Tyson in Lewis vs. Tyson. Anyway, for more on the interview check out the story.
XIV- Since we are on the subject of Ben Roethlisberger's assault case, I might as well mention this other bit of news that popped up over the weekend. Apparently, Ben's lawyer, Ed Garland, has hired a private investigator to look into the case. I have a feeling that this case probably will not be solved for a long time and any bad games that Ben may have will be blamed on his "distractions" off the field. Guilty or innocent, Ben has put himself in a tough situation.
XL- Am I the only one tho thinks the Jets have set themselves up to be a preseason favorite? Consider me a fan of Rex Ryan. After making some moves to get Cromartie, they went out and got future HoFer LaDainian Tomlinson. The Jets seem to be the kind of team that many of us designate as classic "Steelers" football. A stifling defense with a consistent pass rush and a commitment to running the football to wear down your defense. The Jets playoff run was a beautiful thing to watch last year, and I will definitely be keeping my eye on them this year.
XLIII- Selection Sunday was yesterday, so the brackets are out and ready to be completed. If you signed up for the league do not forget to make your picks. Here is a link to the page. And if you missed the memo and want to sign up follow this link for the directions.

i like bobby ryan . . .
have season tickets to the anaheim ducks games . . . luckily i don’t have to plunk down 4 grand for playoff tickets this year . . .
If this was Pensburgh I would've thrown him out there also
He’s done a nice job making a name for himself after being overshadowed as the guy taken after Crosby. His hat trick goal against the Kings last year is one of personal all-time favorites

Good assessment ...
on the Jets. Just a tweak is all they need; not sure running back is where they needed it, but …. it ain’t gonna hurt. Lot’s of teams need to just stay the course or tweak just a little bit. Not sure I fully agree with SH’s comment re: not saying anything to BR. Yes, he’s a grown man [age-wise] but members of “teams” are really obligated to address issues that affect the team. If his comment was meant to avoid discussing it, then SH should have chosen different words. When one has a bazillion dollars, hiring the best lawyer/PI possible is a spot on decision …. why go legal aid?
I agree about the Jets just needing a tweak
Their GM has them positioned to be able to draft BPA and/or trade up for a special player or two with out worrying about any substantial holes. Another WR and maybe a RB in case Leon Washington can’t answer the call (I think they need 3 solid backs for their offense). Also a couple or 3 on Defense is still possible. After that O-line depth. As it is, they are not far at all from a SB with the team they have.

Again with Frank Summers? He did nothing at all good last year and was a late round draft pick. He’s going to have a hard time making the team. I think we can do without putting him and Jerome Bettis in the same paragraph, let alone sentence. Just let it go. He had a great YouTube highlight and a great nickname, but he’s not a very good NFL player.
And yes, Foote would be a nice signing.
I think it is too early to close the book on Summers after only reading the first few pages. I dislike the Bettis comparisons myself, but they are made often (to every player). l am sure that people were wondering what was going on with Summers, so it isn’t that big of a deal to bring him up.

I disagree. The only reason people here write about Summers is because he had a cool highlight and a cool nickname. There have been other late round RBs who have sucked less than Summers did last year and people weren’t constantly bringing them up and comparing them to Bettis.
So we can be clear
are there any other topics you would prefer not to be discussed here so we can be sure to avoid them?

Summers
I don’t see why its unreasonable to think that an underperforming rookie couldn’t bust his ass in the offseason and return as a viable player. The onus is on him to prove himself, if he does it would be nice to be open-minded about it, maybe set the Bus comparisons aside for awhile.

Remember just about two of every three Steelers first round picks in the last decade? Very little production their first year and then they became solid players. We overreacted calling Summers the next Bus and now we’re overreacting calling him the next bust. Let’s just calm down and see what he does this year. Plus I thought he wasn’t all that bad last year, it just seemed like the game went a bit fast for him but when he put a helmet on somebody he had good explosion.
Consider it unleashed!
I’m not saying we can’t discuss him. It’s the wishcasting onto him as some new big back Jerome Bettis that annoys me. He’s a 5th round draft pick for the love. And he can’t be a bust as a 5th round pick. They rarely make any impact in the NFL.
I’m guessing he doesn’t even make the team this year and normally no one would care, but because he is nicknamed the tank, everyone will lament the fact that he isn’t very good.

named Flying Fists of Awesomeness, we can all promise to not talk about it.
Here's a clip of him
I googled Flying Fists of Awesomeness and came up with this vid of him. I think he’d make a killer free safety.
Disagree on LT and the Jets
Why the heck wouldn’t they keep a guy who ran for over 1,400 yards and hasn’t shown signs of breaking down? Instead, they bring in a guy who rushed for 800 yards less, +/- 1 yard per carry less and pay him more? On top of that they bring in Cromartie? Not sure how this makes them any better.

I agree on TJ, but there must have been some bad blood or something there with Jones. Otherwise I did not get them cutting him in the first place. I think LT still has a lot to offer, especially on a team that runs a lot. We shall see.

The best I can gather
is that any bad blood was because they didn’t pay him. Now how is that for a message to the rest of the team. Not going to pay one of our own and instead we are going to bring in a stranger and paper him up. His role did change toward the end of the season but I’m fairly certain he wanted to stay.

We can only guess at why they kicked out 1 apple for an equally shiny apple. But I don’t think its because they wanted LT over TJ.

The only thing that I can see LDT bringing to the table is complaining to the media that he should be getting more carries come mid-season. I agree the Jets have made some moves to improve, but I do not consider the signing of Tomlinson one of them. In the long run I see more controversy coming out of his signing than anythig. He still thinks hes the man…truth is he hasnt been for about 2 years.
LT is an insurance policy that covers two positions.
LT will spell off Greene to keep him fresh and will provide someone to fill Leon Washington’s 3rd down back role if Leon signs with another team or is unable to recover from his injury. I expect the Jets to accept the 2nd draft pick instead of matching any contract Leon signs (other than with the Jets).
I think both TJ and LT were hoping to continue as feature backs when it was time to emulate Bettis and take a back seat for the good of the team (and a chance at a ring). It would seem tough for TJ as he had come off a career season but he wasn’t as effective as Greene while bringing the same basic skill set.

speaking of leon washington and filling two roster spots . . .
it would be a good thing if leon washington signed with the steelers (until this off season, a pipe dream!) . . . he can return kicks and be an effective third down back (meaning adios to mwelde moore and stephan logan) . . . this would free up a roster spot to go deeper on the aged d-line perhaps? . . . anyway . . . this is based on my assumption that leon washington can catch the ball out of the backfield . . . correct me if i’m wrong . . .
Leon can catch
The big concern is the state of his ankle… and of course the 2nd round draft pick.

chewiesteeler said it...hell they would have been better
off siging FWP instead of Tomlinson. I’m glad they didn’t b/c i would love to see FWP back with us as a backup. Cromartie is not worth the dough IMO.
by SteelersFnRule on Mar 15, 2010 10:34 AM EDT reply actions
Ditto on FWP
The more these other teams sign RBs, the more likely it is for FWP to change his mind about sticking around the Burgh. I have a feeling that Minnesota may become a spot for him to visit now. They lost on LT and, as far as I know, they have not replaced Chester Taylor.

Cromartie is a good cover corner, probably better than what they had at #2. He is not a good tackler, but he can do pretty well shutting out a WR. And when your #1 CB is already the best in the league…that is a pretty good addition IMO.

My thoughts exactly
With Revis blanketing one side of the field, Cromarti can have all the safety help he needs.

FWP doesn't have the same skill set as Tomilson.
LT is looking to be more of a 3rd down back with more catches than runs though with a the Jets o-line LT and FWP would look pretty good. LT is also good in pass protection and I think they want to keep Sanchez healthy for a long time.

You substitute Thomas Jones for LT and you think its a good move Johnny?
I think Sanchez is going to have a lot of work to do next year that he didn’t because of Jones. Just a stupid move on the part of the Jets IMO.

No
I didn’t say that. I said the Tomlinson addition was a good idea. I’d rather have TJ, but for some reason they got rid of TJ. And instead of going into the draft with a gaping hole, they filled it. And filled it with a guy who can produce. As I said in the posts about the RB FAs a few weeks back, I woulda rather had TJ over LT over FWP over Westbrook.

Well I don't see how it's a good move at all really.
Period. Getting rid of Jones was stupid, and bringing in Tomlinson to be your feature back is even dumber. He just does not look good enough to be the starting back for any team, least of all a run first offense. He’s going to get stuffed all the time or injured and force the team to switch game plans mid-year. And I like Sanchez, but I don’t know if he would be able to shoulder that burden. I don’t think he will develop as quickly as Brady or Ben did.
Just my opinion of course.

I agree that getting rid of TJ was stupid, but that is not what I was saying. LT will not be there feature back either, that is Shonn Green (and I am not sure what is happening with Leon Washington). LT will be in a reduced role like in SD, but behind a much better OL.
The reason it is a good move (not including anything about TJ here) because the Jets are a running team. And I don’t believe they wanted to go into the draft with an absolute “must fill” need (the Steelers did the same thing). Tomlinson gives them depth (after they lost TJ) and allows them to develop a RB they draft.

I could have sworn that LT was going on about only wanting to go somewhere he was the feature back....

Jets sign LT, a nation of green firemen rejoice...
I don’t dislike this move for the Jets for a few reasons.
1. Shonn Greene is poised to be their workhorse back this year. They ran the ball effectively with 2 backs most games, 3 backs on the season. Having a reasonably unproven rookie RB gives the team a good reason to bring in a veteran in case he’s needed.
2. LT’s skills compliment Greene’s rather well. LT is a good receiver for Sanchez to check down to, and a solid 3rd down guy in terms of blocking, catching and running. Greene is more of a pure runner. Let Green run wild, and let LT come in and help him when the time is right.
3. This is an elite run blocking team. If LT can still run, even part time, this is a place to do it. A great line, a commitment to the running game itself, and an oppurtunity to compete for a starting job, or fill in as a starter if need be part time.
Good move for LT, although I don’t understand how this puts him in competition for a championship persay, maybe that’s the resoning behind the second year of the deal, as I think they’re still (at least) a year away from true championship contention, despite a solid first season under Rexy.

from LT's perspective
this is a great move. The SD line had some injury problems last year. The Jets might have the best run blocking line in the league. He’d make a great 3rd down back.

FWP
I have a feeling were gonna see willie back in black and gold next year. I was a little surprised we didn’t take a look at tomlinson in free agency. I know he’s lost a step or two but he’s still a beast on the goalline, and an amazing receiver out of the backfield. So saying that, if we don’t resign fwp, I can see us going rb in the second or third rd. Maybe a guy like joe mc knight or jahvid best. I think they would compliment mendenhall pretty well.

Jets
The Jets are good AND Ryan is doing a great job. Love the way he backs his team and the confidence. I don’t however understand why they would take L.T. over Thomas Jones. Jones was twice as productive and signed elsewhere for 5 million over two years. Makes no sense. And he was well liked by his teammates.

Summers interview
Don’t know if anyone followed the link to the interview with the less-than durable Tank, but I’m impressed at how intelligent and level-headed the quotes from him seem, particularly given that he was a rookie who’d only played a few games. As we were hearing all season, he’s one of those people who knows how to say the right things – I hope he can learn to back it up on the field and be a contributing Steeler.

I’m not sure anyone followed it, but I agree with you. I guess I did not word my summary well enough to express that. I was really impressed with his approach to the injury. Instead of being like “I got injured, this sucks” he took it as a blessing in disguise to prepare him for next year. It was a really good interview.

Frank Summers
I enjoyed the article about Frank Summers by Kelly Davies in Athletes Chat. It would be “great” if he lives up to expectations. Management must believe so, because they kept him. It would solve a BIG problem that we had this past season (3rd and short). He would be the missing link that we need for our offense. Am hoping that we can get a healthy Willie Parker back (think he will eventually end up back here). We can then look for a “Willie clone” in the late rounds. I think that our “O” line will finally show that they are much better than average this year. They have played together for a couple of seasons and I think we will like what we “see in them” and “get from them”. I am hoping that we get that explosive DB that we need to compliment Troy. With the addition of Larry Foote, it gives us time to develop some of our young Linebackers. We could also try to draft the “heir apparent” to Casey Hampton (hopefully Terrence Cody or Dan Williams). I just HOPE we can get this “Ben situation” straightened out. I also believe that we need to give Dixon more exposure in the preseason and sign Leftwich again as a backup. It is time for us to put Charlie Batch out to pasture and thank him for his services here.

I was never on the Tank bandwagon. he never showed me he was a Tank, maybe a Ford Escort! I’m excited for the additions of ARE and Foote (or, should I say, the returns of). This just goes to show you what a classic team the Steelers are, and how you need to have a good team in order to shine. Both did mediocre at best on their own, but together, back with a winning team, they’ll be in the headlines regularly! (on the Sports page, not in the gossip magazines)
As for the Jets, I am definitely on the Rex Ryan bandwagon! Look what he did with that team? With the additions of LT and Cromartie, the sky is the limit for the Jets this year!
