I do not agree. You are over-valuing Willie Colon. He is descent but not great. Descent can be replaced. I think if Jonathan Scott gets a legitimate chance he will be better than Colon. When Scott was at Texas he was one of the better tackles in college. He has 14 career starts in the NFL under his belt and he will be better in both run blocking and in pass protection.

From today in the Post-Gazette----

...."But it was something of a surprise when Tomlin said Flozell Adams would start at right tackle, but that he planned to rotate him with Jonathan Scott with the first-team offense -- an indication the Steelers may not have settled on Adams as the replacement for injured Willie Colon."

In all fairness Dub-

a. Given the performance Flozell turned in last week, they have to look at someone else.

b. They have no one else.

other than that, you make a good point.

Huh...on June 29th when I made that prolific, insightful, deep, prognostication, no one...and I mean no one, even considered Jonathan Scott as a viable starting RT. Or at least on this board.

Re: Called Shot???

Ummmm that's because we ALL did once Colon went down. It was obvious for these 4 reasons.

1. Started NFL games before.
2. Played for Kugler before.
3. Is a RT
4. Isn't Tony Hills.

Get over yourself. Besides Adams WILL be the starter, they just need to get Scott some reps with the first team.

I still don't consider Jonathan Scott to be a viable starting RT. I think he is battling with Tony Hills for a roster spot. And so far, Hills has been the more impressive of the two two former Longhorn tackles.

i don't consider Jonathan Scott to be a viable starting RT either. this is just being done to light a fire under Slozell's rather large arse.

Re: Called Shot???

Frankly, I think Willie Colon could outplay all 3 of these cats...right now with a torn Achilles.
This is the kinda thing teams get saddled with. Nothing we could do to protect every position perfectly with a backup. We are screwed here and will have to hide the RT. Every team is hiding someone, so no biggie.

Re: Called Shot???

even mike williams is in an NFL camp this year`


Re: adams

he's doing pretty good in the run game and doesn't look good in pass pro

i'm used to seeing that out of colon...not a big difference IMO
