Pouncey....

[polamalubeast]

I hope this is not serious......

[fansince'76]

Ankle. At least it's not a knee, is how I'm looking at it.

[Pete The Greek]

I hope it's just a ankle sprain.

[Psycho Ward 86]

even if its a high ankle sprain, that shouldnt warrant being carted off. I hope that was just precautionary.


And now of course Stephon Tuitt goes down...ugh

[st33lersguy]

Steelers always have bad luck with injuries.

[TD's & Beer]

high ankle sprains only for Pouncey and Tuitt would be a fair outcome from the injury gods...if they are listening


and I'd take GB's back-up QB in a heartbeat if they cut him

[steelreserve]

you mean like the kind of high ankle sprain that kept Pouncey off-and-on for the whole season his first couple years in the league? That's not as bad as a torn ACL, but it still sucks. Hope it's nothing as bad as either of those.

[TD's & Beer]

they said Tuitt has a knee now - don't know if that's good or bad either

http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/315400/pouncey-%28ankle%29-expected-to-miss-8-weeks


This makes Pouncey a candidate for injured reserve/designated for return. Pouncey broke his left ankle in Sunday's exhibition game against the Packers. The Steelers will turn to journeyman Cody Wallace at center in the meantime. Pouncey is not one of the best centers in the league, but he's an above-average starter and the pivot for an offensive line that returned all five components from last season. Pouncey's loss is a concern for the efficiency of Pittsburgh's running game.

Yeah. Last year. The only season he really has missed significant time in was 2013. You don't get named All-Pro 4 times sitting on the bench injured.

But since he was unlucky enough to get hurt in the AFCCG game a few years ago and miss the SB, I guess he'll always be "injury prone."

Gerry Dulac

Why the Steelers decided to fire OL coach Jack Bickknell Jr.

The Steelers’ decision to fire offensive line coach Jack Bicknell Jr. after just one season might come as a surprise because of the steady improvement of the offensive line in the second half of the year.

However, the move is not surprising because Bicknell’s role slowly diminished after the Steelers had problems protecting Ben Roethlisberger and running the football in the first half of the season.

In fact, for most of the second half of the season, offensive assistant Shaun Sarrett was doing a lot of the instruction and daily handling of the offensive line, according to sources – duties normally performed by the offensive line coach.

What’s more, it did not help Bicknell’s cause that the outside zone blocking schemes that were to be a large part of the team’s revamped running scheme were non-existent once the regular season began.

Curiously, the offensive line improved as the season wore on.

After allowing 36 sacks in the first nine games, the Steelers allowed just seven in the final seven games. And the running game that averaged just 3.4 yards in the first 11 games averaged 4.1 yards in the final five games.

But the Steelers apparently believed that Bicknell was not the reason for the improvement.

Agreed, I think Wallace can hold the fort, the question is who is going to back him? Finney, Hubbard?....I think I'd look to the pool of centers available first.

he's under contract with the Tennessee Titans...

[steelreserve]

On the "injury prone" thing ... I was a bit concerned about Pouncey not because of the knee or this one, but because for his first couple seasons he always seemed to have some kind of nagging issue that lingered for the entire season, keeping him out of a game here and being 80% effective there. That seems like it's not happening so much anymore, but instead he's been having unbelievably bad luck. Nobody can control broken bones. It just sucks.

There are such things as "injury prone" players, though. Or if you don't believe that, maybe you think Greg Oden is due to come back and have a breakout season. No, I'm not saying Pouncey is the same way, just illustrating that there is such a thing.

As far as replacements, I think Wallace deserves a shot and hasn't done badly when asked. It's a question of who's behind him. I wouldn't mind Legursky again, but for him to be backing up the guy who used to be backing him up might be a little weird. Hard to imagine it would be weird enough that sitting around without a contract would be better, though.

[zulater]

he's under contract with the Tennessee Titans...

Maybe you could get him for a later round pick? But of course at this point is he the same player he was in 13?

The business day (prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time) that the player is placed on Reserve counts as the first day.

Pouncey breaks left fibula in Steelers' win, could miss entire season

The Steelers have been down this path too many times.

This time, they hope they can deal with it better than the last.

The Steelers will be without All-Pro center Maurkice Pouncey for a significant portion of the season — if not all of it — after he suffered a broken left fibula that will require surgery, according to two sources familiar with the injury. Pouncey was injured during the first half of the Steelers' 24-19 win over Green Bay in front of 44,517 on Sunday at Heinz Field.

This is the third time in six years Pouncey suffered a significant leg injury — ankle in 2010, knee in 2013 and lower leg in 2015.

“Everybody knows what to expect this time around,” guard Ramon Foster said.

Two years ago, they didn't.

In 2013, Pouncey was lost for the season after tearing his ACL and MCL on the eighth play of the season against the Titans. The offensive line went into a tailspin, struggling to help the running game and protect quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

The Steelers finished 27th in rushing and 18th in sacks as they went 8-8 and missed the playoffs for the second consecutive year. They used seven offensive line combinations that season.

Last year, with a healthy Pouncey — he missed only seven snaps and was on the field for every play over the final 14 games — the Steelers used only three line combinations and, in turn, produced one of the best offenses in the league.

Now, Pouncey will miss significant time again. He is a candidate to go on the injured reserve/designated to return list, which would keep him out at a minimum of six weeks (42 calendar days).

[polamalubeast]

Injuries happen.We must look ahead and next man up.

Pouncey will surely come back in November, so if the Steelers were able to survive the suspension of Roethlisberger in 2010, they are probably able to survive the injury of Pouncey

As I said, next man up.

[TD's & Beer]

“I texted him at halftime and I was like, ‘Dude, it’s like somebody died in here,’ ” guard Ramon Foster said of the reaction in the locker room after the players learned of the severity of Pouncey’s injury. “That’s how close he is to me and to everyone else. You hate to see that. It got quiet. Everybody, when they heard whispers of it, everybody instantly dropped their heads. It’s tough.”

“It’s like when we lost Dermontti Dawson . It’s not good,” former Steelers Pro Bowl offensive tackle Tunch Ilkin said Sunday on his way out of Heinz Field.

“It’s like when we lost Mike Webster. It’s not good".

“I’m not saying this team can’t overcome it. The offensive line is better now than it was two years ago. But it’s a significant loss. Don’t think that it’s not.”

[TD's & Beer]

There aren't many options out there at center.

here's one

Samson Satele expected to visit Seahawks Monday (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/08/24/samson-satele-expected-to-visit-seahawks-monday/)

Adam Caplan of ESPN.com reports that the team is expected to visit with center Samson Satele on Monday. Satele started all 16 games for the Dolphins last year, but the team didn’t move to re-sign him with Mike Pouncey moving back to center this year after playing guard in 2014.

[dduc996]

Pouncey has been injured in and out of every season since he came in.

so week 5ish to practice and week 7ish to play best case scenario? (of course im not assuming pouncey will be anywhere near healed sadly)

[SteelerFanInStl]

Pouncey has been injured in and out of every season since he came in.

He played in every game last year. He's only had one season, before this one, where he missed significant time and that was in 2013. He played in 16, 14, 15, 1 and 16 games in his career.

When you've got people diving at your knees all the time and players rolling up on you, you're bound to get hurt at some point.

Bringing in Legursky is a great move. Ben already knows him, so if there's any problems with Wallace (injured, etc), we won't be up a crick with our third center. I also like Leg's fight. He was never that good getting to the second level, but when you're down to your third Center you're hoping someone can simply throw their body in front of oncoming rushers and give your QB a couple seconds. Leg can do much more than that.

Steelers C Pouncey expected to miss 10 games (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/5706/maurkice-pouncey)

Steelers C Maurkice Pouncey's fractured left fibula/ankle is expected to sideline him until Week 12.

He'll miss the first eight games on I.R./return, then is expected to miss two more weeks rehabbing and conditioning. The Steelers' bye falls in Week 11, and the early expectation is Pouncey will be available in Week 12. Pittsburgh remains strong at guard and tackle, but will ask a lot of Cody Wallace to replace Pouncey at the pivot
