Steeler Cuts - Trubisky Among Them

Yes, he did.

Check out the mention of it from others:


I don’t see Tomlin quotes in those links to message board post
 
In college it's all about net yardage, he has a big leg and he played on a team that punted a ton.

in the NFL a punter has to be a strong, consistent technician in addition to having a cannon for a leg.

The good NFL punters and kickers are freaks in their own right.
His hang times in college were elite. His big leg in the NFL resulted in 25 yard punts
 
So the others imagined it too? Maybe we did. Post-Gazette I'm blocked out. So can't check there.

How is it insane to factor in holding ability when it comes to choosing a punter? You don’t think the Steelers looked at the free agent punters that were out there, realized there wasn’t that much of a difference between them and Harvin punting wise, then went to other factors to make their decision?

The Steelers owner/front office seems to have the fear of the unknown when to comes making changes, so they stick with the devil they know.

and field goals are pretty valuable when you have a QB that doesn't throw many touchdown passes.

Wait until they draft a holder in the 3rd round this year.

Source is different than Tomlin
Hell
I have posted he must continue to play because he is such a good holder

Because his punting sucks

There is no such thing as an "elite holder". If there weren't any decent punters, that's fine, but they probably should have worked out a few just to make sure.
 
This is what I've been waiting to see happen the whole time across his 24 starts.

I agree. Aaaannnnddd... I dont know if he can or will do this. Obviously if he cant, he wont be in the NFL long, if he can, then he will be like he was at Pitt

How many of those starts were under Canada? Run on first and second down and put a young quarterback in 3 and 7-8 frequently.
Have you seen pass charts? They ignored the entire middle of the field. Lets see what happens

I'm not confident that any of that will change.
