Anyone catch that replay? Must've been the first quarter. I think it was #44 coming down the line and absolutely decleating Hampton. I don't think I've ever seen a nose tackle get lit up like that. UGLY!

Leach will light up any player in the NFL who doesn't see him coming. No exception.

Leach? Pretty sure that was Matt Birk. It happened right off the snap. That was pretty embarassing, but ill give Hampton a pass just because he raped him during the 1st matchup

Leach did knock Casey backward on his ass on a block.
McClendon needs to be getting more playing time. Hampton is clearly past his prime
Array title="BlastFurnace will become famous soon enough">
Nope, it was Leach. Knocked Casey flat on his back.
wow. That's just, WOW. Leach is the best FB in the league, but jesus casey, thats a fullback. You're supposed to be swallowing up double teams on guys about 40-60lb heavier than that.
It was typical Hampton ala fat, weak, slow and off balance : )

Still scratching my head as to why McLendon doesn't get more reps. Hampton is being used more this year than the last 2 years.
Do they think he found a chocolate fountain of youth in his snack pantry?

It didn't look like Casey saw him coming...even though Leach was right in front of him.
I forget who brought it up (86Ward or zulater maybe?) but im starting to believe in that whole theory about how Heyward and Mclendon are maybe getting limited snaps to lower their price tag in free agency so they arent so expensive for us. Our cap is ridiculous enough as it is. Sounds crazy, but seems to me theres at least a grain of truth in that theory
Leach wasn't wrapped in a hot dog bun.
I really hope they don't re-sign Hampton for another year or more. Just let him go regardless of the pay cut.

Look, guys, all the criticism of Casey over the past couple years is legit, but that play is indicative of nothing. Hampton didn't see Leach coming, and like I said, nobody can take a hit like that from Leach and not leave his feet.
The problem is he should have seen it coming. It was hilarious to watch.

it's a sad state of affairs when your NT gets hammered by a FB to that degree .... shameful I tell ya just shameful
I need some syrup and butter after that play.

Hampton shouldn't even start anymore. He needs to retire after this season. To add, Steve needs to more playing time. Steve penetrates the line of scrimmage more and causes more issues for opposing teams.

Keep finding faults with the big snack. You will find out what he brings once the play-offs start. Just like all you all that found faults with Mr.
Batch. Some of you guys sicken me!!!!
Two bags are guarenteed to fit all sizes ,or your money back. If you are not completely satisfied call 1-800-GOO-DHELL We show 5 bags to choose from,most problems only need 2 bags

It is easy to just start slinging away, but let's hear your case for keeping Big Snack.
he would make a better mascot than Mcbeam ?
It's evident Mr. Hampton has lost a step and he can be gone in 2013 due to salary cap stuff. Good thing we have McClendon and Heyward.
Array title="steelpride12 is a splendid one to behold">
Leach is an animal! Probably the best fullback in the league right now. Could you imagine our run game if we had his style of blocking. Not to mention he was getting short yardage catches against us Sunday. Poor Hampton did get destroyed on that play. Come on in McClendon!

didnt see him coming? well he sure SHOULD have seen him coming. poor field awareness by hampton
Array title="Seven has much to be proud of">
Total bullshit. Hampton needs a breather more than he used to, he isn't going to run ten yards down the field and make a tackle. But this misnomer amongst Steeler fans that he's been playing poorly for a few seasons now is absolute garbage. He's still one of the hardest defensive linemen to move in this league and it consistently shows up on tape. Don't just throw something out there when it's completely false hoping people will believe you.
And it was Leach, but Hampton didn't see him. He was pushing his man down the line for the linebacker assigned to that gap to come in and take it. Also, usually when the fullback comes inside like that a defensive teammate is supposed to yell out a warning to the down linemen.

All this bashing on our vets that have given years of service,and have performed quite well,that could be starters on other teams.I just don't get it.They gettin old? Sure they are. So are you my friend. I would keep him for as long as he wanted to stay.Even if he was just a back-up for insurance on the d-line.You can't teach experience.You have to learn it.

Can't afford the cap hit for that much experience. McLendon has shown he can play. There IS a reason that Joe Greene is not a player anymore.
