Khan making moves already
He's been a busy man.
I like the new approach by Khan. If you are not bringing it you are out. To many years we have kept very average to below average players just to have a starter. Agian I like this
except the QB, of course
@chasestrickland3065 they feel as a organization there QB is in the locker room. I'm not saying Kenny is not a really good QB yet. He has played under the worst OC I have ever seen , only has a season and a half in the league and with a below average OL during that time. I'll wait to see how he develops under better circumstances
I liked Mason because compared to Kendrick Green he was really good but compared to the rest of the league he was an average at best center so I’m finally ready to have great center play
He was below average
A very nice guy. Wish him the best. Perhaps he will continue to develop and become more consistent in another program.
They will definitely sign a free agent. The Steelers never go into the draft having their hands forced. They always pick up players of need right before the draft so other teams Don’t know which way we’re going. they can draft best player available.
If we draft a center and it isn’t JPJ…it would be par for the course over the last 5-10 years offensive line wise. JPJ has next Steelers HOF center written all over him. Big facts!
I don't think he'll be there I had my eye on Cedric Van pran
He should be there at 20.@@jameslee8519
@@jameslee8519 JPJ will be there at #20 and we should draft him! He is that good of a player…that good of a leader and that good of a human being! JPJ at #20 or bust…that’s it!
@@pnwpaddler I wouldn't complain with either one
I think Seattle takes him before us, if not the Rams just released their Center yesterday… We’d have to move up like last year to get him, IMO…
Good move😊
looking forwrd to your draft coverage as usual!
Cole was not great at Center but he was fairly stable, but he was a good though reliable and a team guy. I am surprised they didn’t keep him since he has a lot of experience at Guard and could have been a good back up. Best of luck to Cole .
What about the talk that James Daniels is a better center than he is a guard? He played center for the Bears for a few games and moved from there due to injuries at the guard position. That would give you flexibility to fill either position with the best available.
That possibilty moves Graham Barton up the list as a potential 1st round pick for the Steelers imo due to his positional flexiblity... he can play all 5 positions along the line.
I still can remember screaming at the TV when the Steelers drafted Freiermuth over Creed Humphrey..... oh the spilled milk Alex.
:(
i think this all but guarantees Jackson Powers-Johnson as the team's first round draft pick if there in the first. I believe Daniel Jeremiah mocked Frazier in the first as an IOL in his latest mock to the Lions at their pick in the late first round. Idk if that actually happens but that says that there is already buzz about him too. Id look for a QB like Rattler in the 3rd if available so they are all in but not totally all in on Pickett starting the 2024 season...
Wrong it probably guarantees FA C Cushenberry Broncos aren't waiting till draft need CB really bad
To me, it says for sure they'll be drafting a Center. Not sure yet if it will be the 1st round or the 2nd round yet
or Jordan Travis in the 6th.
QB Jordan Travis Florida State or QB Spencer Rattler should be picked with 1 of the 4th round picks ironically one of them might be future QB
I watched more tape Jackson Powers Johnson WOW....I do think he will be there at 20 and then CB second round plus FA don't need to sign Center FA how many centers toy want its 1 position Have Herbig G-C Daniel's G-C and Spencer Anderson they will wait till draft and take Powers-Johnson on first round or Zack Frazier on second round
We need a dt and a te that can block catch and run
It is now a need for sure but how hard is it to find at the worst another Mason Cole for alot less money
I know there was a big drop in his production, but I was still surprised by this. Seemed like a good depth guy and well liked in the locker room.
Cole is a back-up G who the Steelers signed and put into their starting line-up as the C ...... what's wrong with this team. Now get rid of Peterson,
dont re-sign Wallace and get Moore Jr. out of LT. Sign some nice FA's to replace them and draft O-lineman.
Yay it is about freaking time how many years are they going to make us fans have to deal with absolute ineptitude at the center position it’s disgraceful the organization that had the likes of Dawson Pouncy should recognize excellence over failure
Im not surprised, but I was surprised that they did it
Khan father is about to go off
yes sir
Very interesting to me they made the cut before the draft. I understand the move to make cap space, but it does make it more obvious to other teams that we will need a center somewhat early. They must be making room to make some kind of bigger signing if they needed the $4M rn
Badly needed an upgrade at center. Not unexpected news.
I believe that the best course of action would be very quietly decide that James Daniels is the starting center and in the unlikely event that the CB from Toledo is available at #20 do not hesitate to GRAB him immediately and then let the front office proceed as they see fit. That kid is a difference maker much quicker than a rookie center would-be and would be a much better value over the long haul as an elite CB.
Agreed, count on them bringing in some Sean Mahan-type Center and drafting a young guy.
Two years in a row JPJ
Steelers showing their hand before the draft as per usual
Good. I was worried they were gonna decide that he was “good enough” for one more year. He clearly wasn’t. I’d spend a high draft pick if there was great center available when we pick.
Zach Frazier seems like the definite pick.
Alex they aren't waiting till draft for center can't FA Lyod Cushenberry C Broncos FA
Wonder if Matt Hennessy will follow Smith over to the Burgh
Possible. I'll tell you this: I enjoyed my Hennessy when I read the news on SD that Cole was cut. Tbh I was not expecting that to happen. Aggressive move.
I have the complete opposite take. They didn't save a ton by cutting Cole, 3.5 mil. Which they would need to spend anyway to sign a Vet to get through the Rookies intro to the NFL.
If you think you are committing to drafting a guy to take the time by mid-season, this move made no sense. Any new bridge C would need to e himself to acclimate and would just throw two changes into the mix next year...
They are going after a top C in FA. They are the cheapest OL position and wouldn't require another starter Capable vet to be signed.
I'm warry of the guy from Oregon due to a recent history of Oregon 'bigs' failing in the NFL. Oregon plays an arena football offense, I'd like to see OL from other schools get drafted by the Steelers.
Dylan Cook was also signed
OT
As soon as Pounce is inducted into HOF that will be 3HOF centers in my lifetime as a Steelers fan , very impressive I think. It's time to go get number 4. I was thinking they may try and resign Cole under a cheaper deal as a depth piece , if he doesn't sugn elsewhere
Also with signs of serviceable play (2022) how much of a negative impact can we put on many different QB's, OC's, even O-line coach changes effecting his poor play ??
Pouncey is never making the HoF. He routinely got manhandled in run blocking. He was only good in pass protection and that's it
I like Connor Williams I’m FA so we can get BPA
Gone are the days of keeping players and coaches who don't do their jobs. If the standard isn't good enough, change it.
Let's apply this philosophy to the HC
#FireTomlin
Thank you Mason for the last 2 years ...true bridge leader of the locker room
Meanwhile, Creed Humphrey has won his second Superbowl...
Alex, there is only one you! Cheers from México! But remember we must live by "up or out" mentality, Cole wasnt improving! Stay cool bro!
For sure, I get his struggles. They need to find a long-term option. Thanks for watching!
Now they can go draft their future long-term Center in the 24 draft
I've been saying/believing that in 2 of the past 3 drafts...
Sign a free agent for the center position and draft an inside linebacker.
i would rather them do the opposite, draft a center and sign a FA ILB
@@MarvyG23 Already have gone down that route before.
I thought we were pretty solid with Holcomb and Alexander before they got hurt although I don’t know how much more time Alexander has. Mason Cole had a pretty bad year at center though from what I saw.
@@Alan_Page Conner Williams is a good fit. Dolphins center is a free agent.
@@byronnelson7580 we have gone that route by drafting that same position in the 3rd round. We have a good chance to choose the center position in the first round. Lets face it kendrick green sucked and i have no clue why we selected him at all in the first place.
I want sedrick van pran
If we don't keep Rudolph get Baker!!!!
Cole was clearly the weak link of this line. Hopefully we can draft the next Pouncey this year.
FA center from the cowboys
Steelers will move over Daniels and draft a center early.
I disagree lower level FA Cushenberry Broncos hello centers alot cheaper CB in free agency
Daniels to center.
Thank gawd... Cole was garbage
FA not draft.....
I'm wrong I watched more tape on Jackson Powers Johnson he might be most powerful mobile internal IOL I have ever seen he will be a Probowler take veteran CB in FA to pair with Joey Jr.
Cole was better the Kendrick, but still consistently not good, so glad he’s gone
Nothing will matter if Kenny Pickett is QB1.
Sign Mason Rudolph QB#1
Kinda some bad news. Pidgeom holed ourselves
