As i strolled down the sidelines of Lincoln Financial Field before the Eagles and the Steelers fandangoed in Philly, i was musing about the pressure facing the two gold dust twins, David DeCastro and Michael Adams, both rookies, both making their first NFL starts in…
Here we are the day before the Steelers open the pre-season in Philly. So just some more observations from the past week in camp. David DeCastro will make his first start against the Eagles. By my count he’s had four very good practice days…
After 3 “Show Pony” days where the Steelers ran and practiced in shorts followed by 2 days in pads, here’s just some thoughts and observations; I wish i had these CBA rules back in the day. Would’ve extended the career by a few years…
