• The way we hear it, Steelers ORT Willie Colon showed enough in starting the final two games of the season to be considered a contender for that starting job, as well as the ORG spot should the team look to replace Kendall Simmons.

I would imagine that decision will be made by the new HC

I'm all for it though!

**PITT23** · 01-09-2007, 06:04 PM

Yeah but if it's Grimm who becomes the next HC then I can definitely see it happening.

Well something needs to happen with the right side of the Oline. It seems to me that Kendall Simmons has never been right since his illness and tearing his ACL. Maybe a move to center for Simmons in the future is in the cards. As for Max Starks he just stinks. So I hope Willie Colon can will the RT spot and Big Chris Kemoeatu can win the RG spot.

i hope max starks signs else where so we can get a 3 round pick for him lol...i didn't see colon play this season so i know nothing about him, i just know starks kinda sucks and it shouldn't be to hard to take his job

Well I was at the game vs the Ravens when Colon made his first start. He did alright but it was his first start. Against the Bengals I thought Willie Colon played well.

Agree Max Starks sucks. But he is still young though so I wouldn't count him out yet. I'm not holding my breath but he might turn out to be a solid player.

i wouldn't judge how colon played against the ravens even if it was his 80th start, the ravens owned our linemen this year, so the fact that you say he did ok kind of says a lot lol

and you're right about starks.....i guess it would be better if we can sign him, just for depth and healthy competition in training camp

Good point on the Ravens Koop. They treated our Olineman like they were their bitches this year.

About Starks yea depth is important but I just wish this guy could dominate more. He has the size but he plays to soft at times.

Ravens were damn lucky this year, they won't be next season. It will be our turn to bulldoze over their damn lines. TO HELL WITH BALTIMORE. They are washed up has been, they are getting old and time for them to retire to nursing homes.

I agree House. Even the sun shines on a dog's ass from time to time. This year the sun shined on the Rat Birds.
