      have you missed the last 7 seasons? I know there are injuries - but it seems that by game 2 for the last few seasons we're shuffling, juggling and signing FA's to fill holes.

      Maybe by some miracle it's not an ACL and they just IR'd him because whatever it is, it won't be healed by end of the season. I sure hope they find a place for him next year. He's been the best player on the line.

          Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't an Achilles injury worse(longer to heal) for a O-linemen than a ACL injury?

              Sorry for Velasco. He took major advantage of his opportunity here, redeemed his career. Lost of respect for him here. Hope he heals and comes back strong.

              The injury looked bad from what was shown on TV. Did not like what Ngata did on that play, not that it was illegal.

                The curse against our OL is going strong.

                It all started with Kendall Simmons's diabetes. Since then we have been cursed.

                      you are right about that. Hopefully velasco will be back. He was solid.

                        Sucks that both options at C will be coming off major leg injuries. It took DeCastro more than a season to come back from his.

                          In that regard it is good that Pouncey's injury came early so he has longer to heal (if there is ever a good side of being injured)

                            I love how steeler fans dog on all pro's and then fall in love with average players. Amazes me.
                            I like Velasco, but he had no future at Center in Pittsburgh. He would have been a nice guard though.

                              I agree with the last half anyway
