My Dream OL

[chrisororke]

LT- Mike Adams
LG- Jonathan Cooper
C- Maurkice Pouncey
RG- Mike Pouncey
RT- David DeCastro

I think Adams projects well at LT as that's where he played in college and he has speed to stick there, needs to improve strength

Cooper has great strength and quickness and is perfect for ZBS. Like to see just a little more strength

Maurkice is a HOF and I want more strength to his game

I literally see every sport getting brothers on the same team and it is great for the sport and future kids growing up. What a sell for the NFL look kids these guys play on the same team. Like there is nothing cooler than the idea of playing a sport professionally and having your brother on the team. I would love to see a trade and see Mike Pouncey buck the system and say he won't sign in Miami once his contract expires not after this season but the one after that. Force their hand in Miami and give them like a 2nd in one draft and a 4th in another draft.

The fact the Steelers drafted DeCastro as a RG tells you a lot about him. He isn't the pulling guard of a LG but with his size and speed, had a Matt Kalil type 3 cone 7.3, I think he would be a great fit at RT. I don't trust his strength on the inside, he can be bull rushed and playing RT he would be going against LBs and DEs which are much smaller than DTs. That comes with more speed but he has the speed to hang on the outside and I think that is a great asset having a RT that can get out in open and help on screens, etc. Like Colon's fat arse wouldn't even move that fast getting in the front of the line of a buffet. Plus a RT faces the weaker of the pass rushers. Remember when Marvel Smith got hurt Faneca played LT and did quite well. Well they called DeCastro a "Faneca type" when we drafted him and I think he could do the same as Faneca but on the other side. He's got the size, speed, and strength to play RT and be a great one, especially in a ZBS.


Now, Gilbert would have to be moved bc I don't even see him as a fit in ZBS, the ZBS transition is going to happen people. A 4th rd pick would be fair value IMO. Maybe be part of the potential Mike Pouncey deal. If this was the 2014 OL I would be ecstatic and if you are having problems in the locker room what better way to fix that by having a rock solid OL, full of comraderie. Maurkice Pouncey showed he is a leader by taking his OL mates out to Hawaii for Pro Bowl, reward him for stepping up and being a leader by getting his brother on the team, while making us a better and tight knit club. The Steelers are a family and football and hockey really are the two sports about gelling in the locker room. Maurkice will be the leader of this club. Kid is an amazing talent and personality. #BMS

Miami isn't trading Mike Pouncey.

Some have claimed he's been better than his brother.

But, yea, that'd be a nice line.

[at23steelers]

hey why don't we trade Colon for Mike Pouncey?? Seriously though, DD at RT?? Why?? Why got 3 great lineman at what they do: Mike Adams at RT, DD at RG, Pouncey at C. 3 down, 2 to go!

DeCastro is not a Tackle at all, doesn't even make sense.

While I agree with a few of the points you made, alot of this is delusional. Maurkice is a HOF? LMAO...he isnt even a top 5 center in TODAYS league.

Lets just see if I got this right....

Your dream OLine consists of a LT who greatly struggles with pass blocking consistency, an LG that isnt even in the league yet, a center that is injury prone and is a poor run blocker, a RG who we have no chance of getting, and an RT that is completely out of position?

If you took Mike Pouncey out and moved DD back to RG, it would make more sense.....but by no means a dream.

I think he means a dream OL that has even a remote possibility of happening ie. all the players are or will be in the league and we will no doubt have a shot at Cooper if we want it etc.

I'd rather go with Lance Johnson in first over any interioir linemen. If anything, my source indicate that our first round is very likely to be an offensive weapon, preferly receiver.

Many complain about our defense's age issues but look, they had #1 defense for consecutive years. It's the offensive side that underperformed badly.

Not often you get a tackle that is around Ryan Clady caliber that might sitting by our pick (yes, I'm comparing both due to techniques and footworks, but strength have some big questions)

[Gatoradus]

Yeah yeah, my bad lol

[JustPlainNasty]

I'm not saying I'd want him specifically but if we had a shot at him he would and should be highly considered.

If I had #1 I'd be hard pressed not to take Fischer over Joeckel. I've had my concerns about Joeckel not so much that is he good but is he overhyped? All the games Ive watched of A&M I've always found myself being more impressed with Matthews, granted he's playing right and Joeckel left and left should typically have better pass rushers.

I think Philly would be crazy not take Fischer at 4 and then watch for them to move up in the first to grab the rising EJ Manuel who would fit perfectly with Chip Kelly. Florida State and Manuel very successfully ran a lot of read option. With Dixon and Vick, Manuel has the luxury of development in his passing, which he has the tools, just has to work on consistency. Honestly they could trade as high up to 17..

If Fischer and Joeckel gone by 4, be extremely hard to imagine Johnson still on the board at 17.
