Steelers hosting Trai Turner - CoachGeorge - 06-18-2021
Trai is a good fit for the gap power scheme the Steelers use. They must have not been too impressed with their guards in OTA’s

He must not fit our wide zone much either.
Trai was making a push for us I saw but evidently we weren't interested.
I am still liking Morgan Moses if we want to put him at Guard, very good run blocker. He will have to start though.
He will command dough. But he is worth it as he is a very good Tackle in a pinch too.

Moses is/was close to signing with the Jets. The one hang-up, he won’t play guard.

He wouldn't be the first Tackle in history to be displaced at his preferred position, only to find his NFL future depending on his willingness to play Guard.

Not a good move by him, have to be versatile, or maybe he just didn't want to play for the Jets.

Yep.

Yep.
Crazy to think at this point a guy is against signing any contract. Seems like it'd be smarter to sign a one year deal and gamble on himself again next year in FA with the expanded cap. Unless he is hoping that he'll get a call when an injury happens.

True, don't understand what Morgan is thinking...
But hey, maybe he is happy where he is at, who knows.

Was listening to 1010 radio out here yesterday and they had someone on from Pittsburgh and he was mentioning how they are gonna try and go a more wide zone approach with their run game....
RE: Steelers hosting Trai Turner - pally - 06-24-2021
with the DeCastro release, Turner signing with the Steelers seems to be the next announcement
RE: Steelers hosting Trai Turner - Nicomo Cosca - 06-24-2021
Hopefully he’ll be as bad as he was last year if he signs with them.

Bengals are content with who they have, it seems.

Certainly seems that way. Hope it pans out, I like our young guys and I think our vets will play better than some think.
Namely Spain.

The only young guys I really like are Williams and Carman. I don't really care for Adeniji, Johnson, Price, and Jordan.

I like D'Ante Smith, Trey Hill and Adeniji. Agree on those 3. We can upgrade easily over them.

We'll see what D'Ante Smith and Trey Hill turn out to be.
I'm never really optimistic about OL taken on Day 3.

If trey hill plays center many of the leagues starters are day 3 guys
