Jesse James

Mr "Coach T don't like me" now wants to come back? I don't remember him breaking any records in Detroit, what's he want to come back to the home of cancer for? **** him.

Joe
 
Why would anybody be opposed to signing James back? Right now the Steelers have exactly ZERO TE that can block and catch. This is not a great TE draft. Most of the TEs are more receivers. Few TEs come out of college being good blockers. It will likely take time to develop one if they draft one late. Steelers need a starting TE that can inline block. Ebron can’t block for ****. Right now the TE is tackle eligible Joe Haeg who they just signed.

James would come cheap and does not stop them from drafting a TE that can be a #3 developmental guy kind of like James was when he was drafted.

that's exactly why I wouldn't be opposed to it.

Poljan, Eubanks, Farrell should be available late and have some upside

Exactly. I don’t see much drop off from McDonald to James but at least James never gets hurt.
 
I wouldn't be opposed to it..
and i wouldn't be in favor either..

Could you be a little more precise.............? (lol)


I'm neither for nor against. He might be all we can afford and thus not commit a draft pick.

James is an average blocker and a below-average receiver at TE. He is a backup or our 2nd TE brought in to block. He is not even close to McDonald in talent and the only way I'd bring him in is on the real cheap. He wasn't even the No. 1 TE anymore in Detroit. Hockenson passed him his rookie season.
 
If they had plenty of cap space, I could see them kicking the tires on others. They know what they have in James. He fills the need.
 
JJ is a good sign. He knows the system, and he's been priced to what we can now afford.
 
On a positive note if they do sign him...

We will all once again hear the echo's of "Heattth" coming from Heinz Field..



I hear what you are saying but truethfully I felt bad for Jesse when the crowd did that to him. At first (game or 2) it was ok but then it got a little pastense.
