Fa'realz?

[fansince'76]

Dammit.

[steeldevil]

Just put Spaeth at LT...

[Akagi]

Flozell over to left.

[steelpride12]

In a season where I thought we would have a pretty good OL or at least improved one we might have 2 out for the season, Dammit!

[SteelerFanInStl]

Unbelievable. The injuries just never cease for us.

[HollywoodSteel]

I'm worried about moving Flozell back to the left given his hearing issues in his left ear. We'll probably put J. Scott over there for now... and pray.

[tube517]

Kemo sprained his knee. Pouncey has a bruised shin. Flozell is old. The OL is now a MASH unit.

[polamalubeast]

I hope the O-line will not be bad as the 2nd half of the season in 2007!

[HollywoodSteel]

Kemo sprained his knee. Pouncey has a bruised shin. Flozell is old. The OL is now a MASH unit.

And Essex still sucks.

[tube517]

And Essex still sucks.

[SteelerFanInStl]

And Essex still sucks.

Yes he does. I'd rather see Legursky starting at RG.

[Craic]

Yes he does. I'd rather see Legursky starting at RG.

Essex has much better movement than Starks if I remember right. Move Essex over and put Leg. in at RG. Seems our line was much more solid with Leg there.

[Chidi29]

Scott will likely fill in at left tackle like he did when Starks missed a game earlier in the year.

There's no reason to move Flozell or Essex around and complicate things even more.

Max will still be with us throughout the year just rather have him playing. His health is more important than anything.

Gut check time! I have all the faith in the world in our coaching staff and backup Olineman until sunday at 820 and then i will be a train wreck

The most recent report on Max Starks is that he is going to be put on IR with the injury to a disc in his neck.

[The Duke]

sucks about starks, but we can survive

I have always liked essex better at LT than guard, but shuffling the oline so much won't help matters

We'll likely have jonathan scott (pretty much a good backup) protecting ben's blindside. But who knows, foster may be an option. And legursky may have to start for kemo

Chris scott may be activated finally though. But he is no LT imo

I love that saying, DDF...."Gut check time". I used it alot when I coached youth football. My son was sick of hearing me say it.

If Pouncey and Adams are healthy and on the field, then I think they can help who ever else is playing on the line, play alittle better. Not panicing yet.

[Steeltreal]

Using Heath Miller as an extra pass blocker is such a waste of his talents. Spaeth is a useless TE.

[Steeldude]

the good thing is there isn't much of a drop-off when the backups play.

adams to the left and scott to the right. if starks is gone for the season they will need to look who is available to be signed. who is available?

[kmsteelerwr15]

Not the news I wanted to hear today. Hopefully the rest of the line can stay healthy.

[steelreserve]

Essex had better watch out that an anvil doesn't fall on his head. Seriously.

[GBMelBlount]

who is available?

I do not like to hear those words.

Hopefully this string of adversity brings the team together...

[Galax Steeler]

Damn I can't believe the injuries that we are having this year. Hopefully whatever we decide to do we can stick together and get through this.

[HometownGal]

Shit. This is definitely NOT good.

[Austin87]

Starks was having a pretty solid season, Scott or Hills need to step up.
