To clarify, no apparent injury to #Steelers Marcus Gilbert. He just looked pooped out after the run test and was carted off


How in the world do you post a picture of a tweet? When you click embed tweet on the "more" option on twitter it comes up with a picture of the tweet.

I give up.

I tried installing a plugin (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=287342) for this, but it caused the board to throw all kinds of errors, so I had to uninstall it. Maybe if the developer ever gets it past the beta stage. :noidea:

About the only other way to do this would be to allow HTML in posts, and that's way too big of a security risk. Sorry.

The camp's 1st practice is a walk-through conducted in a steady rain. Fields look nice, though.

[fansince'76]

361139601299087360

Kinda like this? I did some tweaking with that plugin and got it to work.

Only problem is since the plugin is still in development, it doesn't supply a button and it needs to be done manually:

[ TWEET]Tweet ID Number[/ TWEET]

[Chidi29]

Awesome!

[stillers4me]

:applaudit:

What is the tweet Id number?

[Chidi29]

:applaudit:

What is the tweet Id number?

It's the numbers in the URL of the tweet if you wanted to link it. So you can click "Details" if it comes up or find the numbers when you click "Embed Tweet"

[fansince'76]

:applaudit:

Now tell us how you did it.

You need to wrap the ID number of the tweet you want to post here in "tweet tags":

[TWE ET]Tweet ID Number[/TWE ET] (Had to put in a space in the word tweet to get the tags to show up)

The "Tweet ID" can be found in the browser address bar:

[TWEET]361149290342649856[TWEET]

On the Tweet itself, click on "Expand" and then click the "Details" link - that will reopen the tweet in its own web page and in the address bar the ID of the tweet should be visible.

And the second, or closing tweet tag after the Tweet ID should have a forward slash "/" right before "TWEET".

[Nadroj 20]

361139607309516803

I did it!

Don't think you did it wrong if the picture doesn't come up right away. It didn't for me right away then came up after I refreshed the page.

Good job Gary!

The tweet ID is also in the embed string. Looks about 19 digits in length.

Yeah, the plugin is still in development, so hopefully the developer adds a forum button for it soon.

fansince76, don't know if you read this in the article that stillers4me posted (the dev twitter)


2. If you cannot reliably work with HTML in your articles, then you or your website team should instead add a single <script> to your main website template. In your template, find the end of the page, the closing </body> tag, and add the following code before it.

<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);j s.id=id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>

That will include the initialization code for embedded Tweets separate of your CMS content editor, and you will be able to use embedded Tweets in any page of your site without further modification.

Not sure if that can be applied to vbulletin.

Done with the 2nd day of camp. Went well, defense is comin along got a lot of work to do to get back to our #1 caliber. Offense is lookin real good for this first stage of camp gotta stay consistent an push through to the season. I have a really good feeling about special teams this year, I feel like we are gonna be back at the tops of the league in all the categories. The players like coach Danny Smith, he's aggressive an passionate which sits well with us players. Gonna be a great year but this is just the start got a lot of work to do. Sly

In an interview, Dwyer said he lost 25, 30 pounds in the offseason and is down to around 230. Wants to get to 225 before first preseason game.

I saw that too. That is really impressive, but he said he was working out two to three times a day. The concern I have is will his body tire out early in the season from working so hard and putting his body through so much stress in the summer?

I'd rather him get in shape and take that risk than be out of shape and probably never get the chance to find that answer out.

True, but he shouldn't overwork his body and hurt himself. I think working out two times a day is okay, but three is a little too much. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's in shape and lost weight, but I just don't want him to get hurt from overworking his body or tiring out.

First roster moves of camp.

Steed was a stud at Furman. Dominant ST'er I think. I have a scouting report on him somewhere I'll pull up.

- - - Updated - - -

My report on Steed when he came out for the draft in 2012. Not as dominant of a special teamer as I thought (probably thinking of Justin Bethel). But decorated college career.

4.Ryan Steed/Furman: 5’10/4 209
The Good
- Good amount of bulk
- Solid tackler
- Special teams value
- Strong senior year
- Ballhawk
The Bad
- Has trouble getting off blocks
- Lacks speed
- Passive versus the run
- Lower level of competition
Other
- 2011 FCS All-American
- 2010 All Southern Conference
- Returned two INTs for TDs junior year
- 4 INTS senior year for Paladins, 14 in career
- SoCon All-Freshman team in 2008
- Blocked two punts freshman year
Final Word
Didn’t get a really good look at him. Another guy that may have to switch to safety but ball skills could lead him to be a competent FS.

From Tomlin's presser. Nick Williams did not finish with a knee injury. Cortez Allen still "day to day". Per Wexell, David Johnson had surgery on his knee two weeks ago. Van Dyke the biggest injury. Tomlin called it "significant". My two cents but wouldn't be surprised to see him go on IR soon.

There is one constant so far this training camp, William Gay is still a liability in pass coverage. Every time I read reports about camp he's getting lit up for long gains.

I don't like where this season is already heading. Damn!

[Chidi29]

One thought will all the injuries at CB depleting our depth, though hopefully we get them back by Week One. Could see a lot more Big Nickel like we did last year. Have Golden or Shamarko Thomas as the #3. Instead of playing a guy like Victorian.

I'm not too worried about it. Its only a minor surgery and the Steelers are expecting him to be back by the beginning of the season. Hopefully we'll hear why he had the surgery in the first place. I've seen reports that it was discomfort. Maybe he had the same surgery Ben had.

Lots of guys held out or limited today. MASH unit played. Curtis Brown, Troy, McNeal out. Jarvis Jones, Worilds, Bell, limited. Product of a physical camp, lot more guys will get nicked up and need time to rest. Chance for the back end kids to shine. And more time to evaluate. I know what I'm going to get out of Troy. Less sure about the UDFA like Isaiah Green or young guys like Ryan Steed.

Ankle. Tomlin did not have an update on it today. Missing out on valuable reps though. Even if a bunch of other corners are probably going to miss.

[Chidi29]

Just listened to Tomlin today and he didn't hear anything about it so he isn't considering it to be serious. That's good, at least.

[Nadroj 20]

Even an ankle sprain can take 4-6 weeks depending on how bad. Hopefully it's nothing and he is back in a few days.

[KeiselPower99]

All the injuries at CB are gonna open the door for Victorian to stick around. I think he had a good shot to begin with now he has a better one.

Not sure what to make of this signing. Believe it or not...for his size, Overbay is a better receiver than he is a blocker. Good hands and good concentration...ran a 4.74 forty....but not a mauler and seems to come out of his stance a tad bit slow.

[Chidi29]

51 catches his senior year at ESU. So yeah, he's somewhat interesting.

[LLT]

I like Victorian...to be honest, I think his skill set and football intelligence is better/higher than Curtis Brown. Brown's draft rank will help him stick, but I would take Victorian over Brown any day.
