A sense of obligation drives Willie Colon, as the Steelers right tackle again works his way back from injury.
"In my heart of hearts, I feel like I'm in debt to my two coaches, (Mike) Tomlin and (offensive line coach Sean) Kugler, and I feel like I'm in debt to this team," said Colon, who missed last season after tearing his triceps in the first game and sat out 2010 because of a ruptured Achilles.

"My mindset right now is just getting back out on that field and trying to be a cowbell for that line and get things rolling."

The larger question for the Steelers -- even if Colon returns better than ever -- is how much they will address a perceived deficit on their offensive line.................

I like what Colon has to say. Hopefuly it's not just talk.

I still feel like we need another LT (and I don't care where he comes from, FA or draft) and we REALLY need a stud OG. If Gilbert truly is up to playing LT at this level, and certainly the FO must believe he is, then a little depth and an OG, along with Colon healthy may just be a huge upgrade. Lord knows we really have nowhere to go but up.
