Aw, hell. It's a message board about football. It should be edgy. I was just joking around, although in looking at it, I can see how it may not come across that way.

Regardless, I find it funny, that there is angst or joy over any 6th round pick. Who gives a ****? If a 6th makes it, to me it's like when I was a kid and my Mom let me clean out the icing bowl. You still had the cake, but you even got a little extra.

My dad humor was a little off I guess. Snapping? Get it? It was not a very snappy quip

Steelers release Warren

The Steelers released one of their longest-tenured players on Thursday when they waived long snapper Greg Warren, with the designation of failed physical.

"I would first like to thank the Steelers organization, coaches and training staff for their help and advice over the last few weeks," said Warren. "I had full intentions of playing this upcoming season, but in light of new information I've recently received from my doctors relating to a past injury, it has been determined that trying to compete in the 2017 season may be a risk to my long-term health. After discussing this with the Steelers, we have decided it would be in everyone's best interest to release me at this point."

Warren was a staple at the position for the team for 12 seasons, giving the Steelers stability at a spot that can often times go unnoticed.

"Greg has been a big part of our past success, and we would like to thank him for his contributions and wish him nothing but the best," said General Manager Kevin Colbert.

Warren, who was signed by the Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 2005, was a part of three Super Bowls teams, including playing on the Super Bowl XL and Super Bowl XLIII championship teams. He was one of only three players remaining from the Super Bowl XL team, along with Ben Roethlisberger and James Harrison.


He played in 181 games in his 12 seasons, and 15 postseason games. Warren recorded his first career fumble recovery this year, doing so against the New England Patriots on Oct. 23 after Steven Johnson forced the fumble.

Warren's contributions to the team weren't limited to on the field. He was active in the community, always attending charitable events. In addition, he did work to support the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, something personal to him as his wife Ashley had to undergo surgery in 2013 for a brain tumor.
 
Probably doesn't satisfy the argument of drafting Holb in the 6th, but appears KC/MT was being proactive and picked up the best LS with technically 40 picks left in the draft.

Well, that explains drafting a long snapper.

LOVE that proactive style, now let's just hope it transferees into in game decisions.......................................:frusty:



Salute the nation
 
Some people will still complain but IMO if they knew that Warren wasn't going to come back or even a small possibility then the Holba pick was a good one.
 
Probably still could have signed this kid as a UDFA but whatever. They better have hit homeruns with the early round draft picks again.

Yea because they really missed out on a 6th round draft choice that could have been cut anyways.
 
The best strategy here was the Steelers never let on that there was a health problem and dropped him after the draft. Masking their intentions to get the best LS in the draft, which they did.

I like 6th round draft picks. AB worked out pretty good. So did that ********** Brady for the *Pats
 
Long snapper played almost 150 plays last year. Not exactly inconsequential.

I was wrong, and I'm now on the TMC/Del bandwagon. Never Draft a Long Snapper!!!!!
