Pouncey talks about lawsuit and other Day 1 notes
Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey and his brother, Mike, were sued Friday in a Florida court over their alleged involvement in an assault earlier this month.

Here's what Pouncey had to say about the incident and lawsuit on Saturday.

"I'm a man about everything. Y'all know that any time I've made a mistake, I admit to it. For something like this to happen when I had no involvement, it's upsetting. It hurts me. It's on my mind like crazy. Hopefully, it blows over. Our lawyer put out a statement."

Pouncey doesn't expect to be disciplined in regard to the alleged incident.

"No fear at all," said Pouncey. "The only thing that sucks about it is that I tried to keep a clean nose throughout the process this year. Having to deal with this, sucks, it truly does.

"Even for the birthday party, we hired our own retired police officer to go out with us. For something like to this to happen is truly unbelievable. I just want to take the time to apologize to the the fans who take this the wrong way. You guys all know me and know the person I am. For people to say bad things about me, that sucks. But sometimes you've got to deal with bad things in life and move on."

The lawsuit in question now charges that it was Maurkice Pouncey who not only taunted one of the men in the alleged altercation, but that he also punched both him and a woman he was with.

This is a different story than was told when the incident was first alleged to occur. The suit doesn't say how much the alleged victims are seeking from the Pouncey brothers, only that it is in excess of $15,000.

@ Lawrence Timmons, who is listed at 234 pounds, is actually at 242 this season after playing last year at 250.

This is why I have to chuckle every time I see Ryan Shazier talked about as undersized. Anybody who thinks these guys are the actual weights they are listed at is being a little silly.

Take Steve McLendon, for example. I have answered countless questions about his weight, which was listed for a long time at 285 pounds.

That was what McLendon weighed when he first signed with the Steelers and nobody bothered to change it - until last year, when it was adjusted to 320 pounds, which is pretty much what he has weighed the past three years.

Now, I see people saying that McLendon suddenly put on 35 pounds. That is most certainly not the case. He's been carrying 320 for the past three years.

Same thing goes for James Farrior. Farrior played inside linebacker for the Steelers at the 215-220-pound range in his last few seasons. Same thing goes for Larry Foote.

That's at least 15 pounds lighter than Shazier.

But yeah, Shazier is undersized.

Timmons, by the way, did weigh 234 in his first season with the Steelers. Shazier is listed at 237.

@ The Steelers probably won't say so publicly for a while, but privately, they expect Johnny Manziel to be Cleveland's starting quarterback for the opener Sept. 7.

@ Dri Archer worked as the No. 1 punt return guy today. The Steelers feel he can handle that job and lighten Antonio Brown's workload.

@ Ben Roethlisberger wore Brett Keisel's former number 99 for the position drill portion of practice today before switching over to his more familiar No. 7.

@ There seems to be a feeling that rookie Stephon Tuitt is bright enough and talented enough to win a starting defensive end position.

He drew some praise during position drills today from John Mitchell, which is pretty hard to come by for the young guys.

@ With Ramon Foster dealing with a death in his family, Cody Wallace got first-team snaps with the offense at left guard.

At free safety, it was Will Allen subbing for Mike Mitchell.

I love it! Gimme mooooooore!!!!

Who is the douche bag putting Adams on the left again?... ffs

 

[mightyguru]

Who is the douche bag putting Adams on the left again?... ffs

Hall of Famer Mike Munchak?

 

[SteelBuckeye]

Who is the douche bag putting Adams on the left again?... ffs

My guess is it didn't happen without Munchak signing off on it.

 

[TAS]

I'm sorry but that smells of Tomlin

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

I'm sorry but that smells of Tomlin

Shocking TAS blaming Tomlin for something. Man you are nothing if not predictable in your Tomlin hate. At least you are consistent.

Why don't we wait and see what Munchak can do with the kid in the preseason before we start to *****. Maybe just maybe he can fix his issues.

Love the tweets!

 

[Supersteeler]

I don't wanna start a new thread so I will throw this in here. I feel like I am in the Twilight zone. Yesterday throughout the course of the day I watched about 3 hours of NFL Network.....2 and a half of it was Cleveland Browns (aka Johnny Football) coverage. This morning I have watched an hour. 45 minutes of said hour of it was Cleveland Browns (aka Johnny Football). It's all Browns all the time. Even if he is a complete bust, this was the best draft pick the Browns have ever made. This is the most press they have ever gotten in team history and the most coverage they will ever get. It's Tim Tebow X 10. .

 

[ZonaBurgh]

Yep, I know what you mean. Watched a little ESPN to check on camp news and it was nothing but Brownie time.
Really hoping he's behind center on opening day.

 

[mightyguru]

I watched a shiteload of NFLN the last few days...waiting, wanting, hoping....******* praying for some Steeler coverage...nada. Went to the website to see if I'd missed anything. My fears were assuaged when I found That there was nothing there.

But, boy! Johnny DollarBill was there...every ******* minute...and he's not even a starter...awesome work NFLN.

 

[bermudasteel]

Maybe no news is what we need...

 

[jdell]

Who is the douche bag putting Adams on the left again?... ffs

My guess would be Munchack or Tomlin

 

[SteelerAl]

Why oh why would someone watch ESPN or NFL Network in the hopes of getting in-depth reporting and analysis of Steelers training camp? You'd have as much luck watching The Food Network or HGTV. Get on Twitter people! Follow people who actually know something about the Steelers and actually watch them practice.

I'm not a Twit, therefore I don't Tweet. I do appreciate the posts people are making from there though.

I was somewhat skeptical myself. I don't do social media (never had a Facebook account etc.), but Twitter is an amazing tool for following the Steelers. You don't ever have to send a Tweet yourself (I've sent less than 10). Set up an account, start following Steelers Depot and a few local reporters (Trib and Post-Gazette) and you will never feel starved for training camp updates again.

 

[Roy92040]

I've got PIP with DirecTV. I'm watching forensic files on one side and NFLNetwork on the other. That way if they accidently make a mistake and put some Steelers stuff on I can switch. So far no luck.

 

[black and gold apex]

I find ESPN and the NFL Network have their favorite stories and favorite teams at training camp. Who really cares. Like we need anymore hype on the Cowboys or all is well in New England and Manning is really pushing the offense, like we don't hear it every year. Usually all we hear about the Steelers is some unrest from Ben. He will never get is do by any of the sports networks. Thanks for the ones letting us know how camp is going. Looking forward to some new talent and new attitude of the Steelers this year.
