The bad luck the Steelers continue to have year after year with offensive lineman going down is absolutely incredible...

It is totally unbelievable. It's one thing after another. Without bad luck the line would have no luck at all. It makes me sick.

Sad.

Let's hear the prognosis before we start making statements like that, shall we?

Feel bad for DeCastro...so pissed right now. Tomlin just pisses me off by playing rookies on the third preseason game....Ughhhh

NFLC saying ACL and MCL out for a while.

That was more geared toward the "he will never be the same again" comment.

Just when is Tomlin supposed to play the rookies?? You have a guy who needs experience to play his position more effectively, you going to wait until the season starts ?? The last 2 preseason games are generally used to test the rookies and see who is filling the roster out. Bottom line is this is when they get the reps...

Sad.

why will they have rebuild his whole knee do you know what's wrong with it? if it's an acl it's almost no big deal unless it's the 2nd or 3rd time so enough of the doomsday stuff

I seriosuly am getting sick of preseason. I wish they would just do scrimmages like the Pats do with other teams. Not saying it wont happen in a scrimmage, but it would be safer anyways. This will be a huge blow and looks like Ben will be sacked another 50 times this season.
