    Urbik starting

    For Buffalo! Eric Wood is out for the Bills so Urbik gets the "hat" as Mike T would say. Should be intersting to watch him in some real live action.

    Me thinks we gave up on him a year too early. Can he be worse than Trai Essex?

      Nope, but he's not as good as Ramon Foster!

        I think we gave up on him way too early also, but I don't know who we would have cut...oh, yea, Essex!! I realize Legs and Essex have the capability to play multiple positions, but how well do they do it? I'd rather have Urbik playing RG next year, but maybe Foster is now the man and all we need is a future RT for 2012.

          I expect sacks on inside blitzes from both Potsie and Timmons.
          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.

            looking forward to see how he does.

            some of the "experts" here had him pegged as a perennial pro-bowler while they continually bashed Ramon Foster who clearly outplayed him for two years.

              and to think we actually drafted Urbik ahead of Mike Wallace.

              just goes to show that the draft is a crap shoot, you win some and you lose some.

                HUGE advantage to Pittsburgh in this one.

                Not only is he making his first(?) start...but he is doing it against the team that knows all his strengths and weaknesses, and has an awesome defense with top notch blitzing linebackers.

                    I don't think Urbik did all that bad of a job today... better then our starting guards anyway.

                      Kemo might have had the worst game today that I've ever seen him play!

                        certainly better than the one on the left side.

                        foster did OK.
