Half of you were saying LT.

Is that still true?

Dline?

Thats right Scot Pioli... :hmm:

he went to my HS, Ventura HS...Ventura, CA

He came back to our school every summer to work with us. My best friend was our starting safety and got to spend a lot more time than I did with him, but I got to spend a lot of time with him as well. His presence alone made me focus on the big picture. Unfortunatly, I was not in the same universe as him or most other players on the team as far as athleticism goes, but I was grateful for what I was able to learn about the game at such a young age.

Taken before his time.

I used to hate the Raiders back then and became a Chiefs fan pretty much to spite the cheating nature of the Raiders (and the fact Okoye was a total beast)...funny, I move to the midwest a few years later and who does he go play for? The ****ing Raiders! I was like, WTF???

Around the same time, the Lakers make moves to bring in Shaq and Kobe...I sure missed the boat in that one.

As it turned out, I was right about his injury problems.

He failed to finish the Buffalo game due to injury, and he couldn't stay on the field the following year.

He almost overcame the odds, though.

Ill never forget the size of his elbow in his final game. It was like a freaking grapefruit growing on his arm.

Those were days well before my knowledge of trade value and such...just knew we got Montana.

man, that was sooooo long ago now!

Nice story

! Hopefully the manner in which he presented himself on and of the field combined with the time Scott spent with him in Cleveland makes him want to get a similar player in Berry or Mays...

Why?

They had playmakers at QB, WR, and safety.

Montana being hurt in the regular season cost us not going to the Super Bowl. It cost us home field which we could have beaten Buffalo at Arrowhead but no way in hell at Rich Stadium.

Also we could have had Dana Stubblefield with that pick. DT and Stubblefield would have made that defensive truly elite.

Pioli Zombie · 11-09-2009, 05:33 AM

So Dairy Queen has now compared the Steelers OL line to the Chiefs OL. Right. Uh-huh. And Joe Montana was a mistake. Simply brilliant. In the dictionary next to the word "Dumbass" there is a picture of Milkman.

And with that elite defense they would have had a shot at the Super Bowl with who at QB?

Berry has been and will continue to be my top choice, but I think it's funny that the Mays fans are trying to lump him in with Berry. Berry has shown he is a playmaker in the Reed/Polamalu mold and he has the cover skills to man up with most top WRs in the league. Mays is a freak athlete but hasn't shown anywhere near the playmaking skills that Berry has, and I haven't seen one prognosticator rank Mays ahead of Berry.

Berry is a top three pick, but I wouldn't be shocked if Mays doesn't get picked in the top ten. If his combine doesn't live up to the hype, it will hurt him.

The role that Mays plays in that defense should alone tell you how good he is and is cappable of being..

1. OL- Ryan Clady clone
2. OL-Need more than one
3. WR- (deep threat with speed)
4. DB-tall, strong and can cover
5. Return Man- Percy Harvin Like!

Why? Does it really take a special player to sit back and make sure no one gets behind you? Sorry, I'm not buying, and NFL teams won't either which is why Berry will definitely get drafted ahead of Mays.

By yourself it does. Not saying that Mays is better than Berry at all, but to say Mays is overrated and wont be drafted in the top 10 is imho not correct..

Taylor Mays role is very similar to what the Redskins ask of Laron Landry and he has very blah looking stats.

The role is not glamorous but is difficult to play.
