Mike Prisuta‏@DVEMikePouncey on Colon at LG: "He's going to be a monster." Pouncey on Gilbert staying at RT: "I don't think he cares. He just wants to play."


This is the brilliance in what they're doing. If in fact Colon's skill set is better suited for guard than tackle then he could be a brilliant one. In my opinion by the end of last season Gilbert had evolved already to an above average right tackle. I would expect continued and rapid growth in his play now that it's been decided he'll stay put at right tackle. So essentially, no matter how rapidly Adams does or doesn't develop the Steelers should be well above average in 4 out of 5 offensive line positions.

Honestly I don't care if they run it more in the red zone or not. Just run it more effectively and efficiently in all zones, and the passing game will improve greatly as a result. As will the red zone offense.

A few other impressions from the Steelers' OTA today: Chris Rainey, the seventh-round running back, is someone you're REALLY going to like. ... Don't rule out Curtis Brown at starting corner. His athleticism is exceptional. Could use a pick or two. ... Emmanuel Sanders said his foot is healthy. We'll see. ... Encouraging to see Baron Batch on grass. The Mewelde show is a little stale. ... If Ben is happy to be changing offenses, then I'm batting cleanup for the Pirates tonight. (Wait, what?)

Agreed Zu.

It is exciting to think about much improvement is possible in all areas of our offense with a solid offensive line....

On a positive note, our YPC was pretty good outside the red zone last year even with a patch work line....imagine if we get some holes this year.

Not allowed to describe what we see at the Steelers' minicamp -- NFL guideline -- but I can tell you based off subsequent interviews that the two rookie linemen, David DeCastro and Mike Adams, acquitted themselves mostly well. Maurkice Pouncey told me they "looked really good out there, really strong, confident." Cam Heyward, who lined up across Adams, said, "I thought he did a fine job. It's his first day. There'll be some bumps. But I thought he was impressive."

Seems like a trend that the players are coming into camp more fit and ready this year.

It's also been stated that there seem like a lot more running plays.

That may be the key to transitioning to the new playbook early in the season.

Thanks S4me.
