I wonder how many assumed Brad Jones backup was not as good, or Nick Barnett, or Burnett, etc ...

Injuries are a part of the game. If it helps the Packers win the super bowl then I'm all for it. The Packers have sure had their share.

Name one other team that could lose their starting tight end, running back, 3/4 of their linebackers and safety and even make the playoffs. And that is not even half of our season ending injuries. Can you imagine the bears without urlacher, olsen, forte etc or the vikings without shaincoe, peterson, henderson and others?

Injuries happen.

Aside from the level of talent is the importance of the Center position as it relates to communication with the OL. The Center is called on to get the entire line on the right page.

For an inexperienced C to recognize what Capers is up to and what the Packers will bring and from where is going to be extremely challenging.

This is aside from the fact this kid will be extremely challenged by Raji.

I definately can see Capers bringing delayed blitzes up the middle and some complex packages with the thought that the Steelers will probably try and make sure this young guy gets some help.

Center is a big deal, noticed when Pouncey wasn't in...Big Ben fumbled the ball twice, once in the endzone.

They'll have two weeks to work on the center/qb exchange. Still a huge loss for the Steelers though.

I think of Pittsburgh going without Pouncey as akin to what GB would have do without Sitton.

I'd be really apprehensive.

If I were a Pittsburgh fan.

Legursky is shorter and Big Ben is, well, big. The exchange issues could be in part due to the height difference. It may also slow Bens drop back down a half of a step and make him susceptible to being stepped on.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/01/pouncey-say-he-has-a-75-percent-chance-to-play/ 

According to most reports, Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey wont play in Super Bowl XLV due to an ankle injury suffered in the AFC title game against the Jets.

Pouncey has yet to see those reports.

He told Deion Sanders of NFL Network during Tuesdays Media Day that the rookie standout has a 75-percent chance of playing in the game.

Coach Mike Tomlin was less optimistic, but not quite pessimistic.

Im defintely not gooing to count that young man out, Tomlin said, per Jason La Canfora of NFL Network. I dont think anything hes done this year would lead you to believe that hes incapable of showing up. So were going to give him every opportunity to do so.

Whether Pouncey can play and whether hell be effective are two different things. Either way, the Steelers need to have someone at center wholl be able to handle Packers nose tackle B.J. Raji.

beast (41m) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
Zero2Cool (17h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (18h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.
