OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Pathetic Steelers

[Dick Sledge]

Want Lacy which means that the Steelers never will pick him.

Ya

Everyone's so nervous about this pick since some of their favorite players are there.

 

[AgentM]

Keenan Allen is still available too right?

 

[sniugneP]

My gut feeling is Brown. We'll have fantastic linebacker corp - Jones, Timmons, Brown, Woodley. That is if we select him.

 

[Dick Sledge]

Keenan Allen is still available too right?

Yes. I also read at the beginning of this process that the Steelers really liked him too.

Funny, my gut feeling is it will be no one we are talking about.

I've been able to see Lacy, Bell and Ball play in person.

From an NFL-team standpoint, I'd have no problem taking Bell over Mon-TAY. Think he'd do well with the Steelers. Don't much care about Ball's records.

But I'd be very disappointed to see Bell drafted with Lacy still on the board.

EDIT: Welp.

It's Bell. Hrmm.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Living in Michigan, I saw a lot of bell. I've watnted him on the steelers, and still do. Just not this early in the 2nd. If we had our usual late pick in each round I'd grab him. As for lacy, I'd rather have Bell. Don't trust Lacy at all.

Also, Bell is a character guy. Wouldn't have to worry about problems.

He failed drug test at combine.

 

[End of Line]

Local kid here in Columbus going to the Steelers, nice. According to reports.

 

[Dick Sledge]

With Hodge making our pick we have to go RB right?

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Here we go.

 

[Crafton]

Bell. there you go. would've liked some of the other guys that were around. but whatever.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Meh.

 

[Xavier Laflamme*]

****in Steelers. Really?!?!?Lacy is right there and you take this fat chump who dances instead of runs hard. Jokes. Wasted pick with all this great talent on the board and you take this turd. Bust all over him.

 

[sniugneP]

Not liking this pick.

 

[Dick Sledge]

Well we needed a RB. Would have liked Lacy or Franklin but whatever. Hope he becomes awesome.

 

[AgentM]

There were a bunch of guys I would have preferred. Hope I'm wrong but I don't like Bell. I see him as a less explosive Mendenhall.

 

[Dick Sledge]

Just goes to show just because the talking heads have the big names at the top of their list doesn't mean teams do. The Bengals took Gio as the first back and now Bell.

 

[Xavier Laflamme*]

Espn cutting up on the pic calling it a reach and saying Steeler fans are gonna be upset when we see his size and that he's not physical at all. They said his yards after contact are very misleading. Hope the steelers know something Everyone Else doesn't.

 

[wheelz87]

Dwyer, Redman, Bell.. I know we just signed LaRod but do we have the slowest crew of RBs in the NFL? Russell, Davenport back in the day.. why can't we have speed? (minus fast Willie)

 

[SteelFish87*]

wtf is wrong w Lacy????? from Walter football

48. Le'Veon Bell, RB, Michigan State: C Grade
The Steelers needed a running back, so they're filling a need. But Le'Veon Bell over Eddie Lacy? That's a very questionable decision, especially considering the poor success of Big Ten backs over the years. Bell is more than a Big Ten plodder because he can block and catch the ball out of the backfield, but I wouldn't have taken him this early.

[Captain Hook]

Seems like a reach. I'm not really a fan of reaching but he does have some talent. He's big, has good hands and he has good feet which I didn't think Mendy did. He needs to run downhill more instead of going east west but most think that's coachable.

 

[sniugneP]

I really hope he will pan out.

 

[Iggy Smalls]

Interesting- I thought we'd be taking a DB or ILB in round 2. Figures the RB taken is one who wasn't even in the top 5 category. Steelers stocking up on fresh knees for Lattimore.
