In my opinion, its time to move on from Willie. This
Is 3 years in a row.

Yup. What are they scheduled to pay him in 2013? Could help us get under the cap. A player who is hurt all the time is not worth ANY $. And no wonder his knees are always blowing out; look at the guy. How would you like to be his knees at that weight? Time to move on with the following.
Colon
Polamalu, unless he gains forms and stays healthy from now to final cuts next year.
Batch
Mendenhall
Wallace - I can't wait to see how low he settles on his new deal. -
It's not official, but according to Dulac, he is expected out for the rest of the year:
If healthy, I have a hard time believing that DD is not a better option than weakening 2 positions with Legursky/Pouncey.What do Steelers do know without Colon? DeCastro?
LG Willie Colon aggravated a left knee injury against the Chargers and the Steelers do not expect him to play the rest of the season.
The plan right now is to have All-Pro center Maurkice Pouncey move to left guard and have Doug Legursky play center the rest of the season. That's what the Steelers did last week against the Baltimore Ravens when Colon missed his second game in a row.
The coaches believe Legursky is more effective at center than guard because he plays better with his shoulders square to the line of scrimmage. And Pouncey is more suited to guard than Legursky because he is more athletic and able to pull on their counter plays.
It’s possible the Steelers could eventually use rookie No. 1 David DeCastro at left guard when he is ready to play. But, for now, they will use Pouncey at left guard.Comment

lol- I don't know about Troy, but the rest, for sure. Maybe the NFL should consider weight limits per position instead of this stupid kick off procedure they are proposing... NFLPA would probably b!tch at that though.6- Time Super Bowl Champions......

I would leave Pouncey at G and Legs at C for the rest of the season. Just leave it as-is. You see what happens with all this freaking turnstile crap along the OL. They did fine against the Rats.6- Time Super Bowl Champions......

Colon is going to be a tough decision for the Steelers. Since they restructured him this offseason, cutting him next year will be a hit of over $6 million against the cap, and his cap number is around $7 million for next year, meaning that the Steelers would only save about $1 million by cutting him.
The injuries are a concern, but Colon was a big part of the success of the running game. His pass protection, penalties and conditioning need to improve, but Colon/Pouncey is much better than Pouncey/Legs.Comment

Hmmm, well, if that is the case, then he's probably gonna be here next year.6- Time Super Bowl Champions......

It doesn't matter if they ONLY save $1 million on the cap. A player who misses most of the games isn't worth it even if they save NOTHING on the cap. The guy can't stay healthy, move on. Other wise, you hope he is gonna be out there just to disrupt the team once again. It makes no sense to keep a player who is always too hurt to play. They keep making this same mistake, see Aaron SmithComment
