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.

The guy is going up against Pitt's defense.

Yeah, their talent level is pretty good. An early reality check for a rookie is also good...

truth. Also, he may think he has the mental part down but I'll bet there are many techniques and tricks he has yet to learn.

I'd bet it's more the rookie shock of "Holy $#it! EVERYONE here is about my talent level."

It doesn't mean the guy's a bust, but certainly the idea that he was going to come in and be a ten year probowler - yeah...reality check.

My point is that, once again, I was wrong about needing to draft a guard that high. Totally wrong. God, think how pissed everyone here would be.

Yeah. As you said, especially with a team like the Steelers.

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.

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

Correct. And now we know that there was a reason he fell all the way to 24 even with all the media hype.

I only posted that based of all the predraft hype they both received. If deCastro busts, that comparison is still valid.

Bust he hasn't quite made the all pro yet. What idiots on here already saying he sucks. How's Poe doing? I suspect struggling a little since he struggled to dominate college kids.
