    Wallace

    Hypothetical question: what happens if the league fines/ suspends Wallace for his after the whistle play to Denver LB? Good news is the league is to focused on Beckham. I seen some tweets to the Roger in this regards. A fine is good but who would be our center if indeed this happens which I hope it dont!

    Doug Legursky is on the roster and has played center for us in the past.

      What Wallace did warrants a fine not a suspension. Beckham got suspended because he was doing crap all game long and the ramming Norman in the head was just the culminating point

        Speaking of which...anyone heard any updates regarding when Pouncey might be ready to return? Wild card weekend? Divisional round? AFCCG? Super Bowl?
        Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

        Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

        We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

        We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

          Haven't heard about his return, at this point I'm good with him coming back next year. It seems that the offense functioning well enough to win a game against any opponent; I see no reason to rock the boat right now, Wallace and the other offensive linemen seem to have meshed very well over the past 15 weeks.

            I'd typically be on board with not disrupting the continuity of the o-line as well, but Pouncey's an All Pro talent while Wallace is a journeyman. Plus, he'd be playing between Foster and DeCastro, and Pouncey has already built up enough rapport with both of those guys, so disrupting continuity shouldn't be an issue. There are certain players that, when healthy, get their spot back no questions asked (Ben, Bell, Brown, etc.) and Pouncey is certainly one of those guys in my eyes.

              It's a no-brainer if Pouncey is 100%. I just doubt that he will be 100% this season.

                I'm with you, trust me, if he's healthy and can step back in and play, that's okay with me, if he's not 90% or better I just don't see putting him at risk, the offense isn't going to be the problem in all likelihood for the stretch run. If he's good to go, play him, if he's not, let him heal completely and be ready for next season.

                  I'd be surprised if he comes back at all and do we want him to? Hasn't played all season and inject him into a play off run. Not sure that makes sense given how important communication and continuity is on the OL.
