STEELERS SHOW FIGHT AS COLON EXPLODES!

**steelspikes** · 10-22-2012, 06:40 AM

It sounds like a medical nightmare that might follow eating some sort of industrial grade raisin bran: EXPLODING COLON! Instead it was a brawling Left Guard named Willie Colon going "mad dog" (after the the whistle had blown) on a rookie named Burfict...a player no team in its right mind would touch with a ten foot pole. The most amazing thing was that no penalty was called on Colon, as he churned his legs while driving down on Burfict (who was on his back). It was a little crazy, but drove home the point: the Steelers weren't playin'. This game had to be won and it was going to be won in the trenches.
What followed was the best O-Line performance of the year, despite being without two starters. Ben got sacked twice, but for the most part had time to throw. Dwyer looked like a young Jerome Bettis in gaining over 100 yards rushing. Lets hope the momentum continues and the team can string together some consecutive wins now.

P.S. Go to post #23 or #25 for a vid clip of nasty Willie Colon in action.

Colon had a nice game!

I absolutely loved seeing Colon play like that. At this point I don't care if he gets flagged for a personal foul, he was the first one to get an attitude, show some fight, and not take any shit from the defense. I was cheering for him last night, that's the kind of fight we need to see out of these guys every week now.

Clearly he had his best game of the season so far. The only really bad play he had was the sack that he allowed on Ben, other than that he was pulling and blocking down like a machine for the most part.

I loved it! Get em' Willie!

very impressed overall with the O-line, starting with Colon. No holding penalties (except for one on heath). Amams held his own last night as well.

IMAGINE when Mr. Personality David DeCastro gets back to full strength and Pouncey OMG WE will be unstoppable.

Colon is a beast when it comes to run-blocking. Its nice to see him performing well for us, we definitely need him to stay at this level the rest of the season.
