Tomlin said "We've been very aggressive in terms of treating it"

The Steelers made their way into town technically, Fort Worth, but you get the point onrashard mendenhall jersey
Monday, and one of the highlights of Mike Tomlin's initial press conferences with the media was the state of rookie center Maurkice Pouncey. NFL fans find the ultimate selection of (Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys) for your favorite team.

Pouncey, as we all know, is unlikely to play. However, Tomlin, despite the fact that Pouncey was transported on a golf cart while holding crutches, remained optimistic about the possibility that his rookie center could play.

"We're just trying to everything in our power to give him the best opportunity to participate," Tomlin said in his press conference on Monday. "I don't know what his chances are at this point, to be quite honest with you. He is not on a running clock in my mind until Wednesday, when you start getting along in your normal preparation.

The Steelers coach also indicated that the team would be "aggressive" in trying to get the rookie center ready to roll for the Super Bowl, which just so happens to be in less than seven days.

He wouldn't, however, confirm the rumors of a broken bone in Pouncey's ankle, admitting only that there was a sprain. "Of course he has a high-ankle sprain," Tomlin said. "We've been very aggressive in terms of treating it, even putting him in a hard cast and so forth."

Actually, the issue appears to be that the Steelers will be even more depleted at offensive line than possibly thought when they take the field on Sunday against the Packers. And the biggest issue in Tomlin's search for a second championship in three years, james harrison jersey
with different styles and sizes, is that Doug Legursky will be the center in charge of keeping B.J. Raji and the rest of Green Bay's front seven at bay.

Well, we Steelers fans hope to see our team compete against the best possible team that can be fielded in the spirit of great competition, especially in a championship game. It seems you'd rather see the Pack play a compromised, injury weakened team. Selling out on great competition in favor of a better chance at a championship? Well, OK, if that's the way you'd prefer. This kind of makes me a little sad for you.

I hope the majority of Packers fans value competition over an easy championship. I hope both teams put their best players on the field and we have an epic Superbowl. Here we go Steelers!
