Liverlips Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 They were the number one team returning this season. Were do you think they will rank after this accident? There has to be no way he plays this season, right? P.S. sorry for his accident, but he may be a good poster boy for wearing a darn helmet.

jjpro11 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 broken jaw.. and well, face.. they said his knees were just scraped pretty bad, no ligament damage. if thats the case then he should play this year.. not sure if he will be ready for the 1st couple games. they say 7 weeks to heal the jaw.. 12 weeks until the opener. who knows.. its not just a simple broken jaw however, he was in a bad accident with other injuries. so its too early to speculate. he knows how to play through pain and is pretty tough.

Big Score 1 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Kerry Collins! Come on down... This would be my guess also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Holliday Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 They will be OK. if he does miss any games, hopefully for Steeler fans it won't be many. the Steelers have plenty of other excellent players who can still get the job done.

You are apparently unfamiliar with Charlie Batch & that Omar Jacobs is probably not NFL ready yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holliday Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 You are apparently unfamiliar with Charlie Batch & that Omar Jacobs is probably not NFL ready yet. As a Lions fan I am very familiar with Batch Then again I am familiar with the great offensive line and great defense of Pittsburgh as well. and I realize that the QB is just 1 player. the Steelers will be OK. Big Ben may not miss any games anyways..we will have to wait and see on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Well, the offense has lost some of its bite, to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Seriously, I hope this Jacobs kid works out for them because Batch blows. The Steelers go nowhere with him at the helm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Batch could make half a season healthy. if something happens to Big Ben to where he can't play. I would expect as DMD said and them to offer Collins a deal. If that happened, I would expect Collins to hold the fort down until Ben could come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to give credit where it's due, it was spain who first brought up Captain Cocktail and then DMD agreed with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip_Side Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Oh man bummer if he can't play, I really was hoping for him to play in the opener Vs Miami. I want to beat those dang Steelers with their full arsenal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeegiebo Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I'd rather take our chances with Batch than bring Collins in. Unless Collins is going to start drinking again. He was much better when he was a drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was much better when he was a drunk. I can see batch throwing a pass and his whole arm flying across the field instead of the ball. Batch is no doubt a good influence in the clubhouse, but I don't believe for a minute they would go into the season with him as the starter. Pitt's O-line was made for a QB like Collins, he would have time to see his options and has a gun. and would not have to run very often. not to mention..who else is there out there right now?

DMD Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 On ESPN they keep showing the hospital and all the people there. I half expect to see Lee Harvey Oswald walk out and get shot again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHook Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I bet he starts Week 1. Manning broke his jaw in a game vs. Miami, missed one play and came back into the game. He played with his jaw wired shut. Reggie Miller played in the play-offs with a broken orbital bone in his face. He didn't like the face shields, so he wore a pair of gold Oakley sunglasses. I'm not sure what good that would have done. While Ben's surgeries are more severe, he also has three months to heal. As long as his knees are fine, he'll play He may have to wear one of those old school defensive lineman facemasks that look like a tractor-trailor grill, but he'll be all right.

Skippy Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 On ESPN they keep showing the hospital and all the people there. I half expect to see Lee Harvey Oswald walk out and get shot again. I just came from that area a few minutes ago and it is crazy down there. I can not believe how many people seem to be setting up camp out in the street. I bet he starts Week 1.
