Re: Anyone else think our O-Line will be awesome this year??

I just got a feeling. Everyone is really high on Pouncey. And I'm sorry, you don't play as long as Adams has in the NFL if you stink. Saw a stat where he's started 178 out of 182 games (something like that) while with the Cowboys.

Granted, having a better line then the past few seasons wouldn't be that difficult.

compared to the last few years I think this OL will indeed be awesome.

Players skills and abilities lessen with age and injury. The fact that Adams started games at a high level 5 years ago has little to do with how he plays now. I can promise you that Cowboy fans won't miss Adams in the least. He commits as many penalties as Colon and struggles in pass protection. If he was so great, he would have been signed earlier.

No, I don't think the Steelers OL will be much better. I think Pouncey has a chance to be a great Center in time, but I don't see any of the other OL being anything other than average. I don't see how that translates into an awesome OL.

I think it wil be a slow start and slow process with our o-line. Hartwig has a bad shoulder, not young and just not that good. I doubt we put Pouncey in at center anytime soon because the position seems so critical. If all the reports about Pouncey talents are true I'm sure he is physical enough to play center but, is he mentally prepared to play center ?

Starks/Kemo/Hartwig/Pouncey or Essex/Adams

I won't be surprised if Kemo gets bumped at sometime for Foster.

Maybe our new o-line coach will have taught Kemo his process better than before. From everything I've heard of late that our new o-line coach is a monster when it comes down to making sure these guys don't make mental mistakes.

Has anyone gave thought to, " what if Pouncey isn't as advertised ? What if he's another bust ?

Kemo has all the physical tools but i think he has IQ under 50. Too many mental mistakes last season. If new O-line coach is making sure that these guys don't make mental mistake then it is a great news.

Willie Colon i thought was the best O-lineman Steeler had. Not sure how Adams will hold up but i think he has to better than Essex.

My O-line for 2010:
Starks-Kemo-Pouncey-Foster-Adams

Ubrik is the X-factor. If he has beefed up and playing up to his potential then

Starks-Kemo-Ubrik-Pouncey-Adams is my O-line for 2010
