9th Pick in Draft

[squidkid]

So you are going by just total rushing yards when he hasn't started several games due to injury? I suppose when you have an ax to grind.

And to Flippy, rookie running back behind one of the worst OL's in the NFL...who is only getting better with each game. What running back in this league not named Peterson could run any better without blocking in front of him?

ok, 21st in average yards per game.
no axe. i like him and hes from my school. seen him a ton in person. just cant get excited about his 58 yards a game and his pathetic ypc.
if he was on any other team and we were facing them, would anybody here say, 'that guy is very good, we need to stop him'?

We need a shut down corner and one that can intercept the ball. I would also do so free agent signing if they decide to get rid of some of the fat salary players like Woodley, Troy and whomever. The trouble is, who do we have to replace the Troy's and Ryan's on this team ?

I think a better question is what other team would say "our RB is playing very good so lets stop him ourselves?"

1st quarter: Bell 9 carries... 40 yards. On the drive we fed him it resulted in a TD.

2nd qtr: 1 carry.. 4 yards.

then in the 3rd quarter..

run for 6, pass for 10, run for 9... end result TD

4th quarter..

pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass...

If we just fed the kid against the 25th rushing D we would have probably won.

Kind of reminded me of Arians. Not sticking to with what was working.

You must have an ax to grind because you are refusing to acknowledge what he does in the passing game. You are looking at a rookie running back running behind a hodgepodge OL and using that to call him well below average.

@ If I'm Kevin Colbert, and thank goodness for Steelers fans that I'm not, I'm taking the best defensive playmakers available on the first two days of the draft.

Mike Adams played a solid game at left tackle Sunday, and the Steelers have been pleased with the play of Kelvin Beachum. There's no way I'd spend a pick on anyone who doesn't run a sub 4.8 40 unless he's a 6-5, 290-pound defensive lineman. Or a nose tackle.

i'll wait to see if adams can play a solid game thats essentially not on a slip and slide before deciding he's the LT of the future.

no one had any footing on that field

plus 1... when I think of Adams I think of the Minnesota Vikings and Jared Allen. it was the single worst performance by a Pittsburg Steeler offensive lineman.. for as long as I can remember. Im holding out hope for the guy, but he clearly has a long ways to go.

[Oviedo]

Adams is not the answer at LT right now. There are 4 guys in the draft who could probably step in and play better than he has at LT. We need to take one of them.

Here's how I see it. BEN isn't 25 anymore. He needs a Legit LT to finish off his career.
