Great News!!! Urlacher OUT!

SteelerBrazil — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:13:06 -0000

Brian Urlacher needs surgery for a dislocated right wrist and Pisa Tinoisamoa has a sprained PCL ligament. The White Shark might be out of season. They will not play against us.

I think Heath Miller will have a great game against them. Their linebacker corp is dismantled.

Lawrence Timmons will be back and I think he can handle Matt Forte and help Tyrone against Greg Olsen. Tyrone is my only fear. I think we should play Ryan Mundy, he did ok on his first game late against Tennessee.

Well, hope Urlacher gets better and be ready to play on a high level next year, he is one of my favorite.

I think you didnt see the point, I will never be happy about a out of season kind of injury, but this will make Steelers life easier.

Or anyone here wasnt kinda reliefed about the out of season injury of Tom Brady? We were sad that a great QB wouldnt play that year, but for our team was great, maybe our 6th ring wouldnt come. This is just an interpretation.

Any thoughts?

PS. If they dont keep holding Deebo(or the judges see the holdings), I think he can get a 2-sack game.

FOOTBALL IN BRAZIL? NOW A REALITY

This is the 1st game of the National Championship here ! Rio de Janeiro(BLUE X SAO PAULO(BLACK)

Rio lost , 29x28, I played as LG this game and this is our last drive trying to kick a field goal!

Well, just to see how we are playing here, well, we are not in the same level of College, maybe not even the Highest rated HS, but we are working on, we are trying to arrange some matches against Mexico and Japan, lets see it!

Pedro #92 OL- Rio de Janeiro

Let me know what you think about the level of the game!

KWII CONTRACT X Heath Miller Free-agent?

SteelerBrazil — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 02:48:21 -0000

Hey guys, I am really worried about the Kellen Winslow's, Jr. Contract. He will be the highest paid TE m and he didnt do nothing to earn that!

Miller will be a free-agent next year, I think we would have problem renewing his contract! He is so valuable to our offense, but we cant pay him like this crazy Franchises!

Well, I think we are gonna draft a TE in the mid-rounds, what do you think, just for an insurance? Not Pettigrew(that topic was just for discussion, was not a real possibility)!

Let me know what you guys think.

What if Josh McDaniels were hired in 2007?

SteelerBrazil — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 00:14:22 -0000

Well, guys! Every Steeler Fan is glad because we chose the right guy! I can describe lots of qualities about him, but really? Did you think this would work out! I remember shouting about this hire! I wanted Russ Grimm badly(Whiz was already hired)! I was very worried about the Steeler future, and Ben came after his worse year and was banged! Well, but ThE ROONEYS know what they do, and got the perfect coach for our blue-collar team!

But if we got J McD ? I do think he would probably do the same thing! New regimes almost ever mean NEW QBs! He would want a guy of his own, Cassell was just a backup, but imagine if he had played the whole 2006 with MOss, Welker...!

1st- Patriots would let the world KNOW, maybe put on the website that the always hated STEELERS Wanted his QB! ( They did that on Cutlers case, showing how classy they are)

2nd- Ben would feel hurt about this situation, who doesnt? Really, all those journalists telling Cutler is a cry baby, bla bla bla? Comparing about his job, but if you were the MAN OF THE YEAR on your company, and somebody intended to hire someone to replace you, you wouldnt be hurt? a Organization should have faith on THE QB, the master piece of a NFL team! Thats what Lovie Smith showed to Grossman! Ya Grossman, Thats what the Giants did,

They protected QBs that ALL THE MEDIA wanted out, or was calling a bust! But Cutler was a probowler! So, who is wrong?? Really, I think J MCD should be fired the next day!

3rd. I think Ben wouldnt be the drama queen, but that would break all the relationship on the locker room! Maybe Ben would be traded, so JMCD could get his own locker room atmosphere

4th! What would be the value of our Great QB? Maybe 3 1st rounders, and a very good OL? and even though we would be losing on this trade! FOR SURE, just like the Broncos, a almost playoff team, losed!

Any thoughts!

Broncos, Bears agree on deal for Cutler

SteelerBrazil — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 21:35:11 -0000

OUCH! I Didnt imagine it!

Terms of the deal are disclosed in the BEARS SB BLOG

They got a great QB , but for a high cost as showed below

Imagine Cutler with that defense against the Colts in SB XLI!

Now this defense is old, and not as great as it was!

www.nfl.com

Broncos Get:

- Kyle Orton

- Two 1st round picks (2009 and 2010)

- Third round pick (2009)

Bears Get:

- Jay Cutler

- Conditional future 3rd round pick.

Brandon Pettigrew?? A good draft choice!

SteelerBrazil — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 00:51:03 -0000

Guys, I was thinking about this guy! He for sure is a beast as a blocker, and possibly would become the BEST blocker TE on the league, and also is a good short route catcher! Has good hands, but is not a fast TE! Why I think would be a good idea drafting him IF we cant get the top OTs, Mack or Vontae Davis,Butler or Alphonso Smith! Maybe he could be gone before but we never know!

1- He would help our running game at day one , also would help to protect our QB and be a good weapon

2- We could let Miller Free this time, and he could become our Jason Witten

3- We would have a better situation to negotiate Miller next year!

4- We would b great in Arians preferred formation- 2-TE, Single-back

5- Willie Parker would be great with 2 great TEs blocking for him in the outside!

Any thoughts?

Trade UP ?

SteelerBrazil — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 00:27:21 -0000

Hey guys, We are speculating lots of guys to pick next April such as Alex Mack, Britton, Beattie, Sean Smith, Alphonso Smith, Max Unger, Duke Robinson and some others!

,
But What about trading up to get a top-notch OT! I think if Andre Smith or Michael Oher pass through 17th we should make a move and get the 18th or 19th pick!

We could get our franchise OT, and move Colon inside! I really like Mack, but I think we can get some really good centers such as Luiggs, Wood in the 3rd or 4th round!

And a Center in the 1st round isnt a good value(positional value)

Other thing I was thinking, maybe getting a CB instead of a OL (if we dont get those great LTs) would be better for our team, we wouldnt reach and with the way the NFL is playing having 3 very good CBs is a MUST! Also, with the way some just OK CBs are making ALL-PRO CB money , the draft is the way! I see a CB in the 1st or 2nd round!

Any thoughts?

SOurces. Usa Today.

Well, I think this shows what is obvious! A good diamond in the rough of the draft makes a great team! None of these players came from free agency and most of them are on the 1st contract!

Thats why teams like Steelers, Pats,, Ravens , Chargers and COlts are always in the top!

McFadden signs with the Steelers... of the West(Cards)

SteelerBrazil — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 21:39:54 -0000

http://www.azcardinals.com/news/detail.php?PRKey=2928

McFadden is expected to compete with veteran Rod Hood for a starting job opposite second-year man Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The move bolsters the Cards’ secondary, after a 2008 season when soon-to-be-departing Eric Green fell out of favor and the nickel position was manned by veteran Ralph Brown.

The move also should allow Antrel Rolle to focus on playing free safety and not have to worry about filling the slot cornerback role.

Well, I think he has been kinda overrated by us. I know he is a great talent, but I dont think our team will miss him that much. I hope so!

Now we need to focus on get a new deal to Deebo

Tyson Clabo for just a 2nd round pick?

SteelerBrazil — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 23:33:57 -0000

Hey guys, I saw Tyson Clabo was tendered with a mere 2nd round, and would make around 1.6mi this year! I think we can get that little beast for a nice deal!

What do you think? I saw him a couple of times and really liked him! He is a great run blocker and we could move Colon inside, and them draft Alex Mack or a LT to become our starter in 2010!

What do you guys think?
