7.2 Tyler Matakevich

[Shoe]

Goodbye to the Zumwalt?

There is a reason the team has let him stick around though... (i.e. there must be something they like about him)

If both somehow make it, even better. Since I'd like to see Zumwalt "make it" (i.e. make the active roster and play), my ideal scenario would be for him to make the team this year and save Matakevich, let him sit on the PS one year.

Spence is where the bar is set I would say for this former Owl. Spence was a solid little player both on special teams and as a back up. If he can contribute on special teams and be the 4th inside backer we did well.

Don't you know the rules of player comparisons?
You cant compare him to a Black player!!!
Stick with Zumwalt!
Feeney is the guy you MUST compare Spence to.

Amazingly no Jerry O reference yet for Matakevich? I'm disappointed people.

(OK yes I too would compare him to Zumwalt.....I feel kinda guilty)

Actually that kind of productivity he might be much better than Z.
He is kinda lightweight and not a burner, EXTREMELY productive, we could we have stumbled on another Lambe.....wait Ive gotta stop!!!!!

I don't understand the connection people seem to have with Jordan Zumwalt.

The 4 starting linebackers are Lawrence Timmons, Ryan Shazier, Jarvis Jones, and Bud Dupree.
The 4 veteran backup options are James Harrison, Arthur Moats, Vince Williams, and Steven Johnson.
The 4 young linebackers with potential are Anthony Chickillo, Travis Feeney, Tyler Matakevich, and L.J. Fort.
Then at the bottom of roster behind those dozen guys that we won't be able to keep are Jordan Zumwalt and Tyriq McCord. He's just a camp body at this point, but I'm sure there are several fans out there who are nonetheless convinced that roster fodder Jordan Zumwalt is a better football player than starting LB Jarvis Jones.

Zumwalt has the same characteristics as Paul Posluzny and Sean Lee. Tough nosed white guys who remind people of Ham, Lambert and Russell. Heck, for years we had guys on this board acting like Posluzny was the second coming of Lambert when in reality he was just another Larry Foote.

Now as far as Zumwalt being better than Jones...who knows if he can actually get on the field

I think this was the hit he had in college that got everybody excited:

Bravo board. You did not disappoint after all.

So he is the Kajagoogoo of the Steelers?
One HIT wonder?

I too NEVER understood the love for Zumwalt.
At least this new kid was an absolute productivity beast in college despite his lack of ideal measurables.

Zumwalt would have made the 53 man roster already, but he is simply Too Shy.

Even worse than being old....... EMBARRASINGLY bad taste in 80s music.
Nobody admits it but the when those lyrics from 3 decades ago are STILL burned into your memory, no matter how much you deny it now.....you used to listen to that awful song ON PURPOSE.

Denial aint just a river my friend.

I will be the first to admit I had bad taste in music, being that I bring the topic up.
I BOUGHT both Too Shy AND....Kajagoogoos greatest hits.

Little did I realize that that Too Shy WAS THE ONLY SONG on the greatest hits album.
