Is he not a red flag for character? Can't recall.

 

hes a hot head and gets fined alot...kemo and colon are both guys with anger issues too

swallow your pride steelers, you need him

 

Not too bad, he just has a problem with tripping and the Giants.

 

Slowzell is a punk...but Pittsburgh doesn't really have much of a choice.

He would be a good right tackle at this stage of his career.

 

i knew we should have held onto jammal brown a little longer....:icon_frown:

 

I'd love this signing.

 

Trade Rothlisberger for Jordan Gross.

 

Eh, he is barely even mediocre at this stage in his career

Starks is probobly a better LT then Adams now

 

Without question

 

Adams would a nice RT. He is still a freaking mauler a a run blocker. He jut cant consistantly stay with the speed rushers anymore

 

I can't wait for if/when Flozell and Suggs play across from one another for two whole games. That should be interesting.

 

dude is still a great run blocker, a liability in the pass game and at least a penalty a game, but will open up the lane for Mendenhall. seems like a nice fit for Pitt if they truly are going back to a focus on the run.

 

Put him on the right side and the penalty's are erased. Alot of people dont know he is deaf in his right ear.

As far as fit, are they gonna shift Starks to the Left? Flo was serviceable at LT in 2009, but he is declining, and as a LT he may be done if he loses another step. Great fit if they play him on the right side. At 34, may even get a few years out of him


**********Automerged Doublepost**********

If Adams is on the right side and he is line up with Sugg's, Adams would erase Suggs.

For a guy that has been blocking the likes of Strahan, Cole, Kearse, Uminyora, and Tuck, Im sure he isnt too worried about an overrated pass rusher like T-Fizzle

 

:icon_twisted:

 

Colon was good for one penalty a game...that's a wash.

 

ive been saying that on a steelers board that on the right the penalties will go down cause his left ear is to the QB. he might be dirty as far as tripping and stuff, so that makes him the hines ward of the offensive line, who cares....not my pocket hes hurting if he throws a cheap shot. colon is a terrific drive blocker but he has problems with speed rushers too, its an upgrade still imo and if not its at least a wash

 

Beast for the Steelers if they sign him, they need him very badly.. just the thing Flozell needed to happen was an important OL to go down to injuries.

 

I keep coming to GIF hoping to see news that we've signed him, but I'm sure the Steelers will drop the ball again.
