Steelers unveil Land of Giants.....

[Stlrs4Life]

But we have more than enough big targets as was discussed in the article, but we really only Willie as a little guy that can beat people in a small space

I thought we were looking for a tall receiver. We already have 1? Which way is it?

[SteelerDan43]

Well we have 3 6'5" plus tight ends, as well as Washington who is 6'1" and Baker who is 6'3" and we kept him around all year so the must see something in him. And once again as was commented by Holmes, big doesn't mean good

We're so used to seeing smurfs out there for so long now with the Steelers that this is going to be a real nice change for the team to have such big group of targets for Ben. Coupled with the fact that several of them are speed burners this is going to be a great opportunity for us to have multiple options in the red zone with big targets and more opportunities to stretch the field. I can't wait to watch this offense in action!

Well put TG

1. In regards to our tall TEs, ok yeah they're tall, but they're not the same as a tall athletic WR. They do provide big targets, but Sweed should have a bigger range of passes he can catch, since I'm sure he can jump alot higher than Heath and Spaeth.

2. In regards to the fact that there are alot of great shorter WRs like Santana Moss and Steve Smith, we have Santonio Holmes for that, and Hines Ward. We have 2 short starters and 1 tall rookie WR. Always good to have a nice mix like that.

3. I can't wait to see Hines, Holmes, Sweed, Miller, and Parker/Mendenhall all on the field. If the O-line can just be decent, that's a TON of weapons for Ben to use. Should be a really explosive offense.

Its not that to figure out....Some TE's in the NFL were former power forwards when they played college ball...You might have heard of that one guy named Antonio Gates...He played power forward at Kent State....You just like to bitch about everything.....

then he was a bum, cause short power fowards don't do good in the league unless your name is charles barkley

Did I say Gates was a great power forward....Plus I wasn't even talking about the NBA.....Just trying to explain that Gates and some other TE's in the NFL played power forward in college....So thats why some people call them power forwards.....You would be surprised how many TE's played that position for their college hoops teams...

I don't even think they are saying they ARE power forwards, they are just saying they are the PF's of the NFL.

That to and the fact remains TE's like Gates played college hoops and were power forwards....
