Tony Hills is the answer!

That is if the question is who will be the first veteran to be cut in training camp. :lol:

What? You thought I was going to suggest him to be a likely replacement for Colon? :chuckle: :rolleyes2:

Sorry, but isn't it funny how no one even remotely thinks Hills has a chance at the job, especially the Steelers. :peep:

Yeah, you would think that if he had shown any potential, that he would be mentioned as having a shot at the RT job. I think he has all the physical skills to play OT, but he obviously hasnt shown much yet and if it wasnt for the injuries, he'd probably be a camp cut.

Still wishing we took Carl Nicks instead of Hills in the draft.

Well. Last preseason when i saw him get blown up 2 feet in the air (No seriously, i swear it was 2 feet) by Brian Orakpo, i was 99% sure the kid was done for.

Camp cut for sure. Has impressed no one and a total waste of a draft pick IMHO.

I haven't heard anything about this guy... Anyways, I can't find anything stating that he was cut, can anybody post a link for me?

He hasn't been cut he was a 4th round draft pick in 08 from Texas. He is still on the Steelers roster and has not made an impression on anyone he will probably get cut this year for sure.

where are all of the "hurrays" and "he is going to be solid" comments that were around when he was drafted?

for the most part the 2008 draft is looking like a flop so far

2008 picks:

Rashard Mendenhall - this year will decide
Limas Sweed - injuries and poor hands have hurt this pick
Bruce Davis - should have never been drafted
Tony Hills - should have never been drafted
Dennis Dixon - should have never been drafted
Mike Humpal - typical low round pick
Ryan Mundy - still lingering

I agree about Davis and Hills being wasted picks but not Dixon. What has he done wrong? He was drafted to back up Ben and the one time we needed him he played pretty good.

He was drafted to back up Ben

And likely will be backing up Byron Leftwich. I think its pretty obvious that he was a waste.

Wow...I never realised how poor that draft class was.

I said Mendenhall would be the 2nd best RB in the class behind Johathan Stewart.....but I gotta think he is more like behind Chris Johnson and on par with Stewart and Matt Forte from that class.

Sweed has been plagued.

Dixon was a good value pick as a 5th round backup.

I was advocating OT Anthony Collins and OR OG Carl Nicks in the 3rd and 4th instead of of Davis and Hills. I still hope Hills can contribute, but its not looking good. He has good feet, long arms, but doesnt seem to have a low center of mass to anchor well. :doh:
