...Just a "Freudian slip", there, sailor... <<he says with a lisp>>...Another disturbing subject title keyed in by NKy.
:P
nothing in regards to the o-line is comforting. they could always have colon play LG until kemo is back, but that would mean mahan would still be on the bench and a player of mahan's caliber should never be on the bench
to think that colon might be a back up is sickening. he was one of the better o-lineman last year and he was playing out of position. no way starks doesnt start JUST because of his contract. its really a bunch of crap
Mahan played guard on the line that blocked for Cadillac Williams the year he won rookie of the year. Could just be that he is totally out of position at center and he might actually be a decent guard.

I would vote for Colon at LG, allowing Max to start at RT again. Then when Kemo comes back, let him compete with Simmons at RG (where a man of Kemo's girth would be a better fit than at LG), and hopefully he wins this time (Zeirlein said he was close last year).

I think Smith-Colon-Hartwig-Kemoeatu-Starks is your best combination of 5 (I like having 3 nasty guys like that in the interior), while still having some decent experience among your back-up options of Essex-Mahan-Stapleton-Simmons-Hills.
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
Believe it or not, by this point, I was expecting, "fight to bend over in front of Ben" as the title....Just a "Freudian slip", there, sailor... <<he says with a lisp>>...Another disturbing subject title keyed in by NKy.

your right i think thats the best combo they could put together. i would also love to see kemo beat out simmonsI would vote for Colon at LG, allowing Max to start at RT again.
