David DeCastro struggling in camp
Quote:
http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth/pos...ing-physically

Perhaps the biggest disappointment of Steelers training camp has been the struggles of first-round pick David DeCastro.

Considered the best guard prospect to come out of college in a decade, DeCastro has failed to beat out Ramon Foster, who went undrafted three years ago, for the starting right guard spot.

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger asked DeCastro whether he was having more difficulty with the mental or physical part of the game. "He said, ‘The mental part I got. The physical is a lot tougher. These guys are really good,'" Roethlisberger told the Beaver County Times.

DeCastro still might end up starting at right guard in Thursday's preseason opener at Philadelphia because left guard Willie Colon is dealing with an ankle injury. That would move Foster from right to left guard, opening the right guard spot for DeCastro.

Foster made it clear that he isn't conceding the starting job to DeCastro.

"You don't want to just passively give away your starting role," Foster told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "This is a world championship team, you want to be a guy starting on that team. We're both going to get better no matter who wins the job. We'll just handle that at the end of camp. Is there a sense of urgency? Definitely. I think it's there for Dave, too."
I was one of the people who wanted this guy. Despite all the arguments - you don't draft a guard that high; he played against inferior competition; you can get value (Jeff Allen) later, I argued we needed to take this guy.

I was wrong. You were right.

Meanwhile, Jeff Allen is pushing for starting time, held back only by a preference for veterans. Pioli's patience FTW.

Wow. Jumps to training camp conclusions much?

Take this article for what it is. It's an evaluation on DeCastro before he's even seen an NFL field.

I said that with a bit of grain of salt. Unfortunately there's no smiley for it.

Nothing like that or like Robert Gallery, another "can't miss" Tackle. It's not like De Castro was taken 2nd in the draft...I bet in time he starts and has a fine career.

And I'll bet that in time Jeff Allen starts and has an equally fine career.

Denver was going to draft him at 25 if the Steelers didn't take him at 24.
