New OT leaves team for personnal reasons

[phillyesq]

Well, that was quick:

Bob Labriola @BobLabriola[URL="http://www.planetsteelers.com/BobLabriola/status/407543859560738816"]9m[/URL]Rashad Butler, the recently signed OT by the [URL="http://www.planetsteelers.com/steelers"]@Steelers[/URL], has left the team for personal reasons.

At this point, why do we even have 2 o-lineman on the practice squad, Hubbard and Long, if they can't make the team now? Wasting space if they are not even worth a look as the literal 10th + option.

Fear of injury?

I had completely forgotten about them.

Also, with all the talk of Beachum sliding to center (where he was awful against the Titans), if that is the move the Steelers make, what is the point of Cody Wallace being on the roster? And was John Malecki, whose early camp reports were so glowing, so terrible that he is not an option as the 5th option or whatever at center?

Yep.... his family feared for his future as an NFL athlete.

I was thinking more like signing Chukky Okobi or Justin Hartwig.

Sean Mahan? He's only 33.

33? hell that's old when you consider that 30 year old Trai Essex and 30 year old Chris Kemoatu are still out there looking for work.

It was a joke.. Mahan was the worst C we ever had.

I don't know who's Koolaid Starks pi$$ed in but with 4 games left he makes the most sense. He isn't the player he once was but at least he can be assignment strong if Whimper goes down if Beachum & Adams can't go. There isn't much out there. Jason Smith, Jared Gaither, Demetress Bell...Maybe Haley & Gaither could kiss & make up. They look like trash on the curb imo but the Steelers may have to dig through it.

Starks pissed off Tomlin for some unkown reason. Seems odd because Starks is an intelligent guy so I wonder if he questioned Tomlin behind closed doors or they got into some type of argument...
