Joey. “ toast” Porter

Hometown kid, went to play for Rape U instead of Pitt. I wish him nothing but the worst in his pro career.
Didn't he have the same amount of concussions as Kenny. So maybe we should have taken Levis at 32
I love my Steelers and I love Pitt athletics.
I can't stand Penn State and would love to spit on the WVU logos.
I root for Pat Muth just as much as Kenny Pickett.
It's great to watch Pickett do well, just as much as Aaron Donald becoming a Super Bowl champ, and the greatest defensive lineman of his generation.
Tyler Boyd and James Connor are my guys. And Saquon Barkley and Allen Robinson are fun to watch.
This is the beauty of sports people. Enjoy while you can still enjoy it!!!

I can completely understand if you thought that they brought in a fullback/special teams guy to like rush for 400 yards a year and catch 30 ball that you would be completely disappointed with him.
Of course no sane person who knows how the Stillers play offense expected any such thing. He was brought in to be mostly a special teams guy, and he was good enough in that role that he was their special teams captain in his second year here.
I care about the Steelers more than Pitt, so I hope he makes the Hall of Fame.
Who was the second rd CB pick from Ole Miss that was always injured? Im not sure he ever played?
Drafted i think about 8 years ago?
I feel that way about all players, even Pitt players, if they end up on the Steelers, I want them to be Hall of Famers, any other team, I don't really care, that said I'm fine with Pitt players being NFL stars anywhere, as long as they SUCK vs. The Steelers.
Then you should spend your time on the Steelers message board.
Senquex Golson! Good call. Forgot about him. You’re right. He was a 2nd rounder but much much later as I recall.
A Steeler message board has to be the biggest collection of nimrods ever associated together on the internet. Drafting Peezy Jr was probably like nirvana for them.
He was a f*cling bust, a favor to his brother. Don’t justify this nonsense.
Just stop it. Stick with heyward who had one nice catch
I guess Derek Watt and Connor Heyward are on the steelers roster because of their individual talents then.
#1. By alignment, take away the quick game - hitch/slant/bubble. OC's don't typically call much of the route tree vs any type of press. The call low % routes like fade routes.
#2. We are not a bump and run team. With the shadow press you are giving the illusion you are. You are also making the receiver spend more time on his release while the pass rush gets home. We give ground to gain ground with our shadow press or better yet gain leverage. In traditional bump and run, it's my opinion the receiver can "stack" the db easier then he can with shadow technique. We are mirroring steps, we aren't trying to physically impede the receiver from getting his release.
#3. It allows you to recruit corners who aren't as naturally gifted in traditional man to man or off man coverage because the DB is already in phase instead of getting his leverage eaten up and struggling to get from out of phase to in phase.
Like I said, I can completely understand how someone who has no idea what he was brought here to do could think that.
Watt was a free agent signing cheap
And Conner looks like a huge value draft pick so far
Get out of here
He was a free agent
They didn’t draft him
He played all 17 games the last 2 seasons while Taking up 2.19% of the salary cap
Pull your head out of your ass
That's fair. I'm not an NFL fan. I have rooted for the Steelers due to Conner and Pickett. If Pickett played for the Browns, I'd root for them to beat the Steelers. So naturally, I hope Porter has the worst career possible. Any local kid who goes elsewhere, especially Rape U, cant do anything to get back in my good graces unless they transfer to Pitt. That is a despicable place and program and I dont want my team (for now, the Steelers but only due to Pickett) having anything to do with low character guys who chose to play for such a program. And you have to be of low character to go to a place synonymous with rape.
After Jones, who was just a such a great pick to match a desperate need, along with the move required to do it showing chutzpah… the Washington pick was the next most interesting due to his Monster potential. Like an Eric Green but even better, given that Green seemed to lack focus and discipline, but could destroy people when he put a mind to it.
Clearly there must be health concerns for Washington to last that long and hopefully they’re largely unfounded. But that’s the guy I’m most interested to see when camp comes around. IMO the willingness or capability of the coaches to utilize him properly is a bigger risk that his purported sore knee. I figure they’ll see him merely as a third OT on the field and what a waste it would be. Pickett also seems to have a bond with Muth and will likely lobby to keep him as the primary guy.
If only that would mean that Washington will be the Steelers #1 starting TE over Muth. But of course it doesn’t. Your comment still is nothing more than your big time bias against the B10 getting the best of you.
Lol. I guess the NFL grading system also has that "b1g" bias as well. Or maybe Washington is just viewed as a better prospect. 🤔
Dierdorf on national tv (wondering aloud as a DB ) “what am I supposed to do with this?” as Green was trucking toward him. Fond memory.
Lol, I guess where he was actually drafted means less than what his grade was.
But in any case, I’m just replying to your 1st uninformed comment saying he’ll be the Steelers #1 starting TE.
I’m a Steelers fan so sure hope he ends up being an out-of-the-park home run draft pick, just can’t agree with your current proclamation of him being the #1 TE.
How about 1a and 1b for a season until muth moves on due to concussion or FA? They are going to be on the field together a lot this year.
Muth is a good player but he drops balls and misses blocks. He’s not entrenched as a locked in #1.
I definitely agree they’ll be on the field a lot together. Who that impacts most is Gentry.
Agree rooting against a player that went to a school you don't like is a not so great look. If you're a Steelers fan, embrace Porter and hope he helps the team. Anything less speaks to you, not him.
SMFs original comment saying it made no sense. He’s since pretty much said he’s not a Steelers fan at all so now the comment isn’t so illogical.
You want the Steelers and Kenny to win football games? Hope Porter is even better than advertised.
It was the easiest pick in the world to predict after he fell out of round 1, because it made so much sense.
The Steelers nailed this draft. Masterful.
