Pouncey takes all 1st team C reps today

Wooohoooo!!!

Within three years, I'm going to say that he'll be considered the best center in the game. Pro-Bowl his 2nd year.

He'll most likely be battling Mangold for a while for the AFC's Pro Bowl spot. Our expectations aren't that high right? Approx what year will he be inducted into the Hall???

While it might be a touch premature it's hard not to get real excited about the guy.

If Pouncey gets the starting gig, and Hartwig gets shown the door, does this guarentee Essex remains at RG? Because it would be very unlike the Steelers to destabelise the OL by removing 2 starters from last years group, wouldn't it?

Chadman still thinks the best Steelers OL would be Starks, Kemo, Pouncey, Foster & Adams.

I'd love to see that as well......if only you and I had a say to who starts on the line!

I hope so because if he doesn't we will get the same cast of characters labeling him as a bust on this message board. However, he may get a pass because I'm sure it will be "Araian's fault."

cmon dude. you were the one on here stating what a awful pick it would be.

why must you constanly mock other posters for doing the same things you do? it gets very tiresome.

i read somewhere that Essex had pretty much won the RG spot now that Pouncey is playing center. the Steelers want to keep some stability with Essex, remember that Adams is learning a new position at RT as well.

the following season, i look for Ramon Foster to unseat Essex or Adams on the right side of the line.

Mister Pittsburgh wonders what it would look like to have it lined up like Starks, Kemo, Pouncey, Legursky, Foster. Have dual backs on occasion and allow both Kemo OR Legursky to pull and lead the charge, or even both. Kemo is huge and pretty quick as a pulling guard and Legursky is short so he could get up under taller DL and LB and use his power and speed to move quicker than them. He isn't tall, but could run block well I bet.

With Ngata, Rogers, Cody, that dude with red hair from Cincy in the division, and others, he is going to have his work cut out for him. It's going to be a challenge, but IMO he is ready.

I hope so because if he doesn't we will get the same cast of characters labeling him as a bust on this message board. However, he may get a pass because I'm sure it will be "Araian's fault."

There is a thread on the same page discussing how the Steelers are still waiting for Timmons to reach his potential. That isn't a compliment; it's saying that he hasn't lived up to expectations yet.
