Steelers Agree To Terms With Southern Mississippi UDFA DT Anthony Gray http://burgh.us/643 #steelers

http://southernmiss.cstv.com/sports/...anthony00.html

[Chidi29]

Perry will be happy about geting Gray. As am I.

[Chidi29]

Sanders is worth a shot as a UDFA. Big, athletic guy but has off the field and injury issues. Almost wasn't eligible for the draft after his agent flubbed the paperwork.

[TMC]

Saunders only off-the-field issues stem from him having illegal contact with an agent (he was with the UNC players on their vacation). Then, he tried to wiggle out of it and was not completely honest.

Other than that, he was a pretty decent guy at SC. He struggled lately with a broken bone in his foot, but once that heals, he will round into form. IMO, most Steeler fans will grow to like him. Big guy, soft hands.

[TMC]

One other point, the Steelers will be one of the last teams to confirm their signings. They do not confirm until they get signed contracts in hand. They listed a WR once from Georgia because he verbally committed, then the Falcons saw he was coming and offered him a little more and he jumped ship, so they are very tight with the information now.

For everyone I have not signed with anyone yet and am still making my decision. Thank you for support and I will give official word tomorrow

[86WARD]

Dom DeCicco reportedly received an offer from Steelers, but went with Chicago.

[The Duke]

Dom DeCicco reportedly received an offer from Steelers, but went with Chicago.

why?? We need a safety more than they do!

I had forgotten how many quality players were still available. This is going to be a fun couple of days!

[Chidi29]

Hope we can get Zach Hurd.

[Nadroj 20]

Any news On Dane Sanzenbacher?

[86WARD]

None on Hurd, Sanzenbacher that I saw. Devine went to Atlanta...

If we were going to sign a WR I wish it would have been dane! That guy is a playmaker

[7willBheaven]

Long time no chat guys...

Anyways...

If signing of Gray is true...thats good to hear...as i remember hearing good things about him around draft time...the others dont know much about...hopefully they can scoop up a few more guys...like Hurd or "Sanz", etc.

[86WARD]

Wouldn't mind Hurd, Herzlich and another camp arm...

[Chidi29]

McCrae is a local kid, from Connellsville. Not huge stats but eighteen touchdowns last two years on a run heavy offense, from what I've read. Guessing he was money in the red zone.

[Nadroj 20]

I think I have heard of him actually, I'm not mad about signing him, I don't care that we are bring him in. I'm just very biased toward sanz..lol

I just like his work ethic and desire. Just the type of guy people like to have on their football team

[Chidi29]

I hear you. Dane was a third down machine for the Buckeyes. Just giving background on the kid.

[7willBheaven]

Some names I remember being talked about on here and/or other sites by people...and some of these guys were projected to go as high as the 2nd/3rd round that i picked out from the rumored signing list above are:

DeCicco S
Linnenkohl C
Fannin RB
O'Dowd OL
Legeged S
Kirkpatrick C
Devine RB
King OT
Boren OL
Barnes OL
W. Hill S
J. Johnson S
D. Torrence CB

My report and game analysis of Gray.

Anthony Gray/Southern Mississippi - 6'0 317
The Good
- Long arms
- Gets penetration in the run game
- Strong, tough to move
- Commands some double teams
- Good motor
- Good awareness, gets his hands up
- A little experience in zone blitzes, dropping into coverage
- Pretty good amount of starting experience
The Bad
- Very short
- Trouble shedding blocks consistently
- Inconsistent first step
- Useless when slow off the snap
- Minor injury concerns
Other
- 29 starts
- Three year starter
- Foot injury cost him seven games redshirt freshman year
Final Word
Underrated run stuffer who offers good value.
Games Watched
at La Tech, at Louisville (bowl)

-------------

Southern Mississippi vs La Tech (9/25)
- Prototypical size for NT.
- Commands double teams.
- Gets penetration, uses long arms to shed blocks.
- Not much of a pass rusher, as expected.
- Played both DT spots.

Southern Mississippi vs Louisville (12/21)
- Gets arms extended.
- Plays with good leverage and hand placement.
- Can get some penetration in the run game and is stout at the point of attack.
- Tough to move.
- Inconsistent in firing off the snap. When it's good, he's a force, but when it's bad, he can get blown off the ball.
- Difficulty in shedding blocks.
- Not much of a pass rusher.
- Shows decent hustle.
- Dropped back once or twice.
- Good awareness, will get his hands up.
- Played UT.

another guy I had completely forgotten about!

Clay's a nice addition. Out of Dwyer Batch and Clay someone will survive. Perhaps two without Moore....
