Xx FaLcOhoLiC Xx Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Steelers are planning to release Chris Kemoeatu to make cap room so they can keep Mike Wallace. Kemoeatu is only 29 years old and I think could help our line tremendously at a cheap price. At 6'3, 344 lbs, he wouldn't be a bad addition in my opinion. Thoughts?

iDash Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I love the size,but LOL isnt this the guy that a Carolina fan posted that offside training camp pic of back in the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohern Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I think the NFL is gonna raise the salary cap to help the Steelers first.As far as Chris goes I would have to go look him up to comment on weather he would be a good fit or not. But I do think we will improve the OLine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrinson Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 He is a great run blocker so he would be a good pick up that would be pretty cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx FaLcOhoLiC Xx Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 He helped protect Big Ben long enough to win 2 Super Bowls so signing him couldn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBirdDynasty Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Certainly has good size and I believe SB experience but I also think he didnt start this year and they dont exactly have All Pros over there at G. Probably a good run blocker but not a great pass protector.Scouts IncGrade: 67 |Comment: Kemoeatu has extremely powerful legs and plays with a low center of gravity. He can be overpowering coming straight off the ball in the running game. He has a great initial punch at the point of attack with strong hands on contact. He is also developing into an effective puller, although he is better short pulling than long pulling. Kemoeatu often is caught heavy-footed by more agile and quicker defenders. He can get exposed in space.Grimes is rated a 68, Lofton a 81. These reports are for the 2011 season based on 2010 film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMHAnd that rating is for the 2011 season off 2010 film, when Grimes was coming off his 2 best seasons, this year he missed games and wasnt as productive (and deccided to sit out the playoff loss)Theres no way I can justify handing that kind of money to a CB who isnt a number 1 when Lofton is a far better player and the DL and OL need serious upgrades.DL is always more important than CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
