Personally, i’m excited..

Still don’t like him and hopes Foster beats him out for the tackle position

I hope everyone is ready for some false starts

and this is just another awful pill to swallow. I remember posting about how dirty he was and what a bum he was and how I was glad he’s not a Steeler. This is probably the first time the Steelers signed a player that I genuinely don’t like. This will be interesting. Hopefully he can help us out and not kick anyone.

I know we are looking at tough situation on the line, but Flozell Adams? If he is the solution we are screwed.

At least there would be some upside and they would get experience. Adams will be here two year tops, and if he gets the starts, that just leaves the young guys another year behind the curve.

Nope, don’t like this at all.

….Im surprised at all the negativity. Its an upgrade at a position of need. He’s a 6 time pro-bowl tackle. For an O-lineman, hes not that old. I didnt expect this but I, for one, was glad to hear it!

Id rather let someone else have a chance to take the job and make it their own rather than having a has-been on our team.

Now the question, Starks or Adams for LT?

Love it.

how do we know for sure he will just be given the starting position. I’ll put money now that there will be a battle in camp.

we only need him for 1 year

but being the optimist that I am, look at it this way: if he gets beat for a starter position (which will probably be at RT), the guy beating him for it (I’m rooting for Foster) will have earned his start. That would be my ideal scenario.

It eliminated a huge question mark going into practice. And that was do we have a guy that can competently play RT? Sure we had some possible options, but no definites. Adams provides us with a guy who has done very well at that spot, even with the penalties. I think he ends up starting week 1 and doing very well and holding the position.

Also, I think the Steelers did exactly what they did with Ryan Clark. His calling price was too high, so they pretended to not be interested and signed someone else. They let him sweat it out for a bit and then got him once the price was reasonable (I am assuming).

I love your sig. Yea, great signing. At the very least it provides much needed depth. I think he will play LT wether he starts or not. He’s never played anywhere else. Also, its a great indication from the FO that it is committed to winning this year. Cuz if the O-line is good and they stay reasonably healthy otherwise……the sky’s the limit!

Flozelle Adams isn’t guaranteed anything. Although he is probably as good or better than any offensive lineman that we have, he will have to earn his keep. There is no guaranteed money. He will get $2.5 million if he makes it onto the active roster. If he really shines he can earn $5 million next year. At this time of year there is not a better move we could have made. If he flops, he is dropped, and the Steelers lose nothing.

I hope you guys are as excited about it as I am!

Flozell isn’t necessarily a complete dirtbag, he’s just all about protecting his quarterback. In the last year or two, age has caught up with him, so sometimes the only way he can prevent his quarterback from getting crushed is by tripping a guy up. There’s no malice involved.

As for the Justin Tuck situation last season, he claims he didn’t know the play was over, but who knows.
