Breaking!!! Steelers sign THE HOTEL
by IndieSteelFan on Jul 29, 2010 6:10 PM EDT
Email
PrintBreaking!!! Adam Schefter is reporting that the Steelers have signed Flozell Adams to a two year contract.
No word yet on the exact amount but it is for two years.
I know he is a former pro bowler and some say a dirty player but could he be the link to save the O-Line??
I recently read about moving Starks to right Tackle, would that be because of Flozell taking on Left Tackle duties??
Opinions please!!!

WuWuWuWuWuWhat?
I thought this was just wishful thinking.
Initial reaction, I love this move, he is an upgrade at two positions, if he plugs in at LT then he is better that Starks and Starks goes to the devastated RT.
Camp just got interesting-er

I like it
Flozell, if he stays healthy, will be an adequate LT, and Starks can move back to RT where he has a significant amount of experience. The interior can be sorted out during camp, but I don’t think our o-line will be too much of a liability this year.

I can tell you that hearing aids suck in sports
there isn’t an aid on the market that can handle the absurd amount of sweat during exercise.
didnt think about that
they have some sort of radio for QBs im sure they could give something like that to Adams and put it on the left side of his helmet

It's actually a rule
If I’m not mistaken, it’s the “Kordell Stewart Rule”. Only the QB and defensive captain can have radios in their helmets
As opposing quarterbacks crouched under center, Lambert pumped his legs up and down, thumping the turf like a war drum. He mouthed threats to opposing running backs that would make even the most hardened Catholic nun weep for humanity. He fulfilled those threats with coldblooded suplex tackles. He may or may not have chain-smoked at halftime, depending on who you ask.
For sixty minutes each Sunday, Jack Lambert was a demon.
well nvm then lol, well hes playing RT it shouldnt be that big of a deal

Well not quite Fever
one offensive player and one defensive player can have it in…
I think one team (iirc it was the Chiefs) gave it to the C when he was having trouble with line calls and the QB was fine without it…

Still...
Does anyone think Bruce “chickenf*&ker” Arians would give up control of the offense, just so Flozell could know the calls/snap count?
C’mon, man! LOL

Yuck.
He’s not nearly as good as he used to be, he’s old, but he’s not bad. I see his upside. But he’s also guaranteed for one holding penalty and two false starts a game.
I wonder if the Steelers made him an offer a while ago (back when he worked out for them), and he just waited to see what else was available. Turns out there wasn’t much demand.
would you rather have what we have now?
besides he still need to earn the starting spot

This is good
he just needs to keep his penalties down. He is just plugging the hole temporarily until we draft another OL next year

Franco made that play because he never quit on the play. He kept running, he kept hustling. Good things happen to people who hustle."
I doubt it, don't like any OL prospect next year, at all

No fricking way
not a first round prospect. No guard worth taking before late 2nd round this year.

Dude, relax
He still has a season to play, quite a few players will make a name for themselves and besides, some people think he’s just as good as Maurkice…

Not saying I don't like him
I’m just saying, why draft a 2nd round prospect too early because his brother plays for us?
Look at the previous stuff I’ve done on the 2011 draft and you’ll see some big names coming this draft.

I'm hear ya
I was just saying it’s way too early to associate players with draft positions. So much time between now and the draft… Things can change in a big way in either direction for most prospects.
Then again, it’s never too early for a true draftnik!

way too much intangible stuff, seemed a waste of time.

I agree
but to say I was replying to someone who said maybe in the first, at this point he has nowhere near shown a first round pick so I was completely correct to say no way in the first.
But you are right, everything, can and will change by april, remember when Brandon Spikes was a first rounder, as were Carlos Dunlap and further back Ryan Perriloux.

Meh, Scott Wright isn't a credible source of draft info IMO
I tend to disagree with him on many things (iirc he said that Carlos Dunlap was a top 10 pick and that McCoy was the best QB in the draft)
Find my rankings, they’re somewhere on here.

Maybe not perfect, but credible. No offense, but I’m not sure you are. You sure are enthusiastic and I applaud you on your passion, but what are your credentials?
May he who has never had drunken sex cast the first shot glass!
I wasn’t trying to say that I was better than him (even though I’m pretty sure I am), what I mean is I happen to think that particular analyst is a fool, whereas someone like Mel Kiper or Walt Cherepinsky or even one of our very own SBN members tj.hendricks would lead me to accept the view more.
I meant the find my rankings bit as, I don’t think I even graded Mike as a top 50 player and nobody here, nor at MTD picked up on it, so calling him 1st round goes against public opinion hugely.

Steeler Move
I think it is a great signing. Get a veteran who most teams have counted out and then watch him flourish in our system. I really think this will be a quality move and one of the best moves of the year for any team. He gives a solid piece to a line that should see Pouncey start and have a stronger base all around with Kemo back for a full season. I am looking forward to this year. Everyone in the league has counted us out, but if we hold the fort while Ben is out and go .500 at least, there is a really decent chance we make the playoffs, then it is anyones season.

Ben's 4-6 games
I have no doubt that Byron L can hold this team together while Ben is away for 4 or 6 games. My thing will be when Ben comes back what if he is not as sharp as Byron? Big balls decision that’s up to Tomlin…stay tuned!!
Since we signed "The Hotel"
Does that mean we get free rooms?
