Funny....before the game and during the game (where he wanted to fight another player), he didnt look all that sick to me.

But hey..I come from a whole different era, raised on a block that when it came to football, flu like symptoms didnt stop us from playing in a game. especially one that had post season implications.

I come from a distant time as well...one where we don't make harsh, knee-jerk judgments based upon a few words from an announcer and a snippet of videotape...

No..I would never do that. I am basing my opinion on what I saw of Pouncey before the game and during the game.[/quote:252ak85g]

so it's based on a snippet before the game and what you saw during the game...

but what you heard since then still puts Pouncey on soft status... what block are you from and how cold did it get?

Weather wasn't an issue, except when it was raining bullets.

That is funny.

But this week we did have 90 mph winds out here. People had trees inside their homes.

Re: On the Steelers: Pouncey heals from virus

Clearly he just didn't want to play. Why was he only laying on the bathroom floor and taking an IV instead of standing getting that IV? Wasn't even trying....

If this site gave out awards for 'Dumbest Thread of the Year' the Pouncey thread would win hands down and thats saying a hell of a lot!

Ghost you dont have to agree with my opinion but do you really have to resort to insults?

I treat you with respect.....can yo do the same? Thanks.

Peace.

I've been here since the beginning and people will vouch for me that I don't normally attack people or go after them personally but I'm not going to apologize for what I said. I meant ever word of it. Your questioning of Pouncey even before the facts came out made it the dumbest thread of the year, possibly the dumbest I've ever seen on this board.

After reading that the man was literally laying on the shower floor taking an IV to try to make it on to the field before the game; you still continue to hold your ridiculous stance that he's not tough or didn't care.

So either you are a complete ignoramus, or you refuse to admit you jumped the gun w/o knowing everything involved (you know, things such as medical science), or you are delusional in thinking you were EVER tougher then Pouncey for even one second when you stepped on the field. Guess it could be a combo of all three.

Ok no problem. I still can show you respect. That’s just who I am.

Peace brother.

PITTSBURGH – Maurkice Pouncey stayed away from practice Wednesday to get another day of rest before returning from a stomach virus that had him down late last week and through Sunday’s game in Kansas City.

Pouncey missed pre-game warm-ups Sunday night because of the bug, and then played only a quarter-plus against the Chiefs before leaving the game sick. But in that quarter-plus, Pouncey played as well and with as much energy as he ever has.

“That’s Pounce,” said his close friend and right tackle Marcus Gilbert. “He wanted to go back out but coach [Mike] Tomlin wouldn’t let him. It was pretty bad. He got an IV back in the locker room. He was sick as a dog. He’s still under the weather, but he’ll be back.”

Pouncey didn’t play like he was sick. He was his typical feisty self with the Chiefs, particularly Kelly Gregg. Also, when tempers flared between Mike Wallace and a Chiefs defensive back Pouncey sprinted from the sideline to the center of the field to assist his teammate.

Those aren’t the actions of a sick man, are they?

“You should’ve seen him between plays,” said right guard Ramon Foster. “If you watch the TV copy you don’t see him bent over. At one point I was smacking his back to try to get the cold up out of him. He was deathly ill. He was really hurting. But his attitude is to play, and if he’s playing he’s playing hard.

“You can’t buy that kind of stuff nowhere,” Foster added. “That’s just him.”

POUNCEY WASN’T ALONE

James Harrison also played at several notches less than 100 percent, but wouldn’t admit it.

Harrison did say he experienced upper back problems, not the lower-back problems with which he’s struggled since undergoing two surgeries last off-season.

“The lower back is doing good,” he said. “I had upper back spasms. That’s why I didn’t do too much on Friday (at practice).”

Harrison was asked if the upper back issue slowed him down Sunday night.

“Nope,” he said.

POLAMALU ABSENT

Troy Polamalu is expected to play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals after Tomlin reported his strong safety has not experienced any concussion symptoms since leaving the playing field Sunday night.

However, Polamalu was nowhere to be seen at the practice facility Wednesday. Polamalu’s partner in the deep patrol, Ryan Clark, was asked if he, like Polamalu, had ever come up to slam into a receiver out of the backfield, only to find out it was a 300-pound tackle.

“Oh, I do that, on purpose though,” said Clark. “The difference between Troy and I is I would’ve hit him in the chest because I feel like that’s where I have my best chance. Troy’s really good at getting people on the ground that way (by hitting low). That’s just what he does. He’s special at it. So for him sometimes I think it puts him in the way of knees and things like that.”

WOODLEY BACK

As expected, LaMarr Woodley returned to practice Wednesday and could play Sunday against the Bengals. He answered questions for reporters with a smile and few words as Tomlin, his coach, stood with the reporters right in front of Woodley.

You can show respect, because you are a respectful guy (at least Dee Dub 3.0 is). That doesn't mean that you are incapable of creating the dumbest thread of the year. Ghost is also a long-time respectful member of this community and what he stated wasn't even close to being disrespectful or over-the-top, in my opinion.

I think every other poster on this forum would find your remarks to be premature at best and most likely find your stance to be absurd.

What I find to be ridiculous, is that you don't have the courage to admit you are wrong...or at least jumped the gun with your criticism (hmmm...where have we heard that?).

If you are indeed a respectful man, then where is your respect for Pouncey? The brother is laid-out in the locker room with a giant friggin' needle in his arm, while violently emptying his stomach contents. He is having the dry heaves between every play and his team mates describe him as being "deathly ill". Despite these circumstances, he is able to get out there and beat the man in front of him...as regularly does. He wants to go back in for more, but the head coach won't let him (did you call out Troy for being a pussy?).

And you tell him to take his skirt off. Even after learning of the details, you believe he didn't man-up.

Dude.

I have to say that I'm not as impressed as you seem to think I should be that you come from a neighborhood where people would encourage a guy to jeopardize his life just to stay in a game.

Re: On the Steelers: Pouncey heals from virus

I'm glad Pouncey is our center and won't question his toughness.

can you say Sean Mahan?
