Is it me or is he small for an OLB o.O

[NJ-STEELER]

My son golfs lefty and plays hockey lefty, but throws righty and writes righty. Go figure.

One other thing that I saw last year at a minor league baseball game for the first time ever. Switch hitters are somewhat prevalent in baseball, but I witnessed my first ever switch pitcher. He was a closer and wore a glove that he could somehow wear on either hand. I was trying to figure it out...looked really weird. When the batter stepped into the batter's box on the left side, he'd put the glove on his right hand and throw lefty. When the batter stepped into the batter's box on the right side, he'd put the glove on his left hand and throw righty. Really odd stuff.

not sure about golf, but in hockey the dominate hand is usually the top hand (im a righty in everything except hockey)

thats why you see more left handed shots then right handed shots in the NHL.

Jarvis watches, learns from James

By Mike Prisuta

Having James Harrison around this season has given Jarvis Jones a mentor

By NFL outside linebacker standards, Jarvis Jones is a sophomore and James Harrison is a Phi Beta Kappa. So when Jones settles in next to Harrison in the linebackers’ meeting room at the Steelers’ practice facility – something Jones always makes a point of doing – he does what comes naturally.

He cheats.

“Absolutely,” Jones admitted. “You have to. He has four sacks already, more than me.”

Harrison was talked out of retirement and re-signed by the Steelers in the wake of Jones suffering a broken wrist on Sept. 21 at Carolina. Ever since then class has been in session as Jones convalesces.

“I see some of the stuff he writes down (in meetings) and I take heed to that,” Jones continued. “If he’s writing it down then I need to write it down, too. It must be important. I pick up little things from him, the way he takes notes, the way he approaches his work in the building, on the field. Just little things, different techniques he uses, I just pay attention to a lot of it.

“Some of the things, hopefully, I can take from him and put in my package, and it’ll make me a better player.”

Harrison is preparing for the Jets this week having registered two sacks in back-to-back games. Jones accounted for two sacks prior to his injury and is still working toward being able to put into practice all that Harrison has indirectly been preaching.

Jones, currently on IR-designated-to-return, was eligible to return to practice on Monday, which he did not, and could play as early as the Steelers’ game on Nov. 17 at Tennessee, which doesn’t seem likely since he just had his cast taken off and the pins removed from his broken wrist on Tuesday and is just beginning physical therapy.

“I really don’t know a timetable,” Jones said of his eventual return. “I’m expecting at least a couple of more weeks, hopefully sooner rather than later.”

In the meantime, Jones has been marveling at how Harrison has shared the right outside linebacker position with fellow veteran Arthur Moats.

“Amazing, man, for somebody in his situation who had retired, for him to come back in and start having the amazing season he’s having,” Jones said of Harrison. “Just him coming in and producing, helping us out on defense. We’re very young in our (linebackers’) room other than Lawrence Timmons and Jason Worilds. For (Harrison) to be here, his presence helps us a whole lot.

“’I’m loving every minute of it. He’s such a great guy. I’m learning a whole lot from him. I love his approach and the way he plays the game.”

Harrison hasn’t made mentoring Jones a priority but is happy to lead by example.

“For right now really it’s just about trying to get better as a team,” Harrison said. “Bringing him along is a good thing. Once he gets his hand together he can start to put things he’s seeing to use. But right now it’s just more showing him the ropes of what it takes to be a professional.”

That includes taking notes in meetings, although Harrison admits he isn’t overly devoted to the practice.

“If it’s something that I feel is significant, then I’ll write it down; otherwise I won’t,” he said. “I’m not a person who sits there and hangs my hat on every little thing about an offense. For the most part I like to read what I see and react to it.”

For Jarvis Jones, that’s potentially another lesson learned.

Jarvis Jones update

Linebacker Jarvis Jones was eligible to start practicing last week, but thinks it will be a few more weeks before he does, even though the cast has come off his injured wrist.

“It feels great,” said Jones, who had surgery on his wrist after the injury in the third game.

“I took it off last Monday. Now I’m in the stage of physical therapy, getting back to moving it in motion that it needs for me to play.”

Jones was placed on the short-term injured reserve list. He could practice after six weeks and play after eight, but he’s now looking to return to practice possibly after the Steelers’ open week next week. Once he starts practicing, the team has 21 days to decide whether to return him to the 53-man roster or put him on injured reserve for the rest of the season.

His injury prompted the Steelers to sign James Harrison Sept. 23. Jones has soaked up some knowledge from the old vet.

“I sit right beside him in meetings. I’m paying attention every day, watch the notes he writes down, the different technique and stuff on the field. I ask him questions how you play this, how you play that, different conversations we have about football.”

If and when he returns to the same position now shared by Harrison and Arthur Moats at right outside linebacker, Jones said there will be no problem however the coaches decide to use them.

“I’m with whatever the team is about. James is having a terrific season right now. He came in, he brought a lot of energy. He’s playing well, he’s making plays. When I come back, whatever the coaches decide. It’s going to make us that much better.”

Another "tiresome" post would seem to be in order, but why bother?

[sick beats]

Especially with those flabby arms of his.

They aren't as flabby, he has got into better shape. He personally attested to this. It drives you bat crazy that I am always right, doesn't it?

Add another one to the list. It just drives you crazy too.

A few more weeks before he practices?

That's disappointing
