Good answer and it's something that is achievable. With that said, he's got alot of work to do, both on and off the field.Quote:

DeCastro is a beast! Love it...
Can't wait for this season to start. Still 4 months away though. Thanks for the updates.

Mike Prisuta@DVEMikeEmmanuel Sanders on returning punts: "As of today, yeah, I think I am. I don't know about kicks. We're going to take it one day at a time."
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."
Mike Prisuta@DVEMikePouncey said new offense is "going to be a lot different. We have a lot more running plays. We might run it a lot more in the red zone."
:hail:Todd Haley
:peep:
James C Wexell@jimwexell"@DVEMike Pouncey big fan of new playbook. "I like it a lot. Hopefully everyone else does. It's exciting, man."" -- So, ado = nothing.
Mark Kaboly@MarkKaboly_TribColon about guard being more suited to his mauling-style play "I'm going to kick (butt) regardless, it doesn't matter what position I am in"
Mark Kaboly@MarkKaboly_TribRead what you want into this, but E.Sanders said about close friend and teammate Mike Wallace "we are waiting for a deal to get done."
Mark Kaboly@MarkKaboly_TribIke Taylor will be at OTAs. His flight landed at 1:30 so he missed today's session
Baron Batch@baron_batchYup did everything RT @JJASPER25: @baron_batch you able to practice today?
Mark Kaboly@MarkKaboly_TribPolamalu on what he need to improve: "Oh geez, I don't know where to start."
Mark Kaboly@MarkKaboly_Trib“To be honest, every year I ever had was below my standards,” Polamalu said. “I have expectations from myself. I have a lot to improve on.”
Mark Kaboly@MarkKaboly_TribRamon Foster has a pulled hamstring. Might need to sit a couple days.

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.Quote:

If Ben is happy to be changing offenses, then I'm batting cleanup for the Pirates tonight. (Wait, what?)
(someone on twitter has already corrected him about Rainey being a fifth round pick)
Mark Kaboly@MarkKaboly_TribCheck out some DAY 1 STEELERS OTA video. http://youtu.be/tpomGNJmWC4 via @youtube
Joe Starkey@JoeStarkey1Lasting image from Steelers OTA today: Chris Rainey, running very fast. Wow
I always like how our QBs don't wear a special QB jersey during the camps, instead wearing the same one as everyone else.

@E_Sanders88 says new offense is built around a lot of play action #steelers
