Colon injures Achilles

Dang Hines.

We're already seeing the repercussions of him opening his big mouth.

...again, I think this guy should get a legit chance. I think he could gives us "adequate" at the RT position.

Clearly, he'll get a shot, but you have to assume that the team is going to bring in someone else- or at least hope they are.

On a positive note, when I pulled up the profile you linked- it indicates that Scott was the deep snapper on his HS team. So at least he has that going for him, which is nice.

On the vet side of things ... I'd imagine some calls are being made to the agents for

Levi Jones
Willie Anderson
Marcus McNeill

I think Anderson would only be depth- and not a realistic starter.
Jones & McNeill would start-
Levi is a UFA
McNeill is a RFA- as I am typing this I just found that he signed his tender- a 1st & 3rd... so I guess this is out the door.

Can you say, I'll Take Right Tackles Named Levi for $100, Alex?

This season is cooked. There is not a team in the league that could withstand losing their starting QB, top WR, and Starting RT.

oh no...

Players typically sign their tenders just before being traded....

We'll be fine without Colon, Ben, and Santonio.

WRs - we've got plenty

QBs - we've got good backups

RT - our backups can't be worse in pass pro than the slow footed Colon. Plus we'll have less presnap penalties.

Spot on, Flippy! I am not conceding a damn thing. This may be a blessing in disquise. Colon (Mr. False Start himself) was way over-rated and I think held his job in part to his friendship with Ben. We will be fine, no doubt!

[Chucktownsteeler]

I wouldnt worry about this too much. We arent talking about a pro bowler in Colon. We are talking about having to replace an adequate RT. This could be a blessing. These things sometimes have a way of working themselves out. Remember when Colon himself stepped in for a struggling Max Starks? How many truly saw that coming??? Oh that's right...I did. I was like the only one saying over and over and over that Colon was a better RT than Starks. What are ya gonna do?? I'd keep an eye on Jonathan Scott (14 NFL starts under his belt). At Texas he was descent. Sometimes ya just need a chance.

[Flasteel]

If it wasn't already, this is now easily the worst off-season in the history of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

For some reason, this makes me optimistic.

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

I'm gonna miss those guaranteed 1-2 false starts a game ...

And Yeah, Flasteel, "I've got a feeling" - WOOooooo!

Bleacher report is pushing Urbik as the likely guy.

Apparently he started out in college at RT.

Jonathan Scott was running 2nd team RT at the OTAs, he will be competing against Trai Essex, Tony Hills, Ramon Foster, Chris Scott and Kraig Urbik for the starting RT job.

I also wouldn't count out a veteran OT being signed. May the best RT win...

My prediction is it will be Jonathan Scott or Trai Essex.
