Following the loss to the Chicago Bears, head coach Mike Tomlin said that he would turn over stones in an effort to fix the tackle situation. Judging by the play of left tackle Mike Adams Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, he better become a geology expert during the bye week.
Through the first four games of the 2013 season, Adams has shown to be one of, if not the worst left tackles in the league. He has given up nearly four full sacks, six hits and 12 hurries and it's only a matter of time until quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suffers an injury that will sideline for a few weeks or longer if the left tackle spot remains status quo.
Thanks to pectoral injury suffered Sunday by left guard Ramon Foster, the Steelers coaching staff wasn't able to replace Adams with Kelvin Beachum as the former seventh-round draft pick was forced to step in for Foster. Should Foster's injury wind up being serious, the offensive line will have yet another obstacle to overcome.
While right tackle Marcus Gilbert hasn't been perfect to start the season, he did play above the line in the last two games and as a result he should be the starting left tackle when the Steelers face the New York Jets following the bye week. If Foster is able to play, then Beachum should get the start at right tackle, which is perhaps his best position.
If Gilbert is unable to handle the Jets defensive ends following the bye, then at least the team will know for sure that they have no left tackles on the team and they can adjust their 2014 draft plans accordingly, because the only stones left to turnover at that point are those of Adams and they appear to be real small ones.
Wow! Excellent title for this article! Actually made me smile. And smiles have been hard to come by when thinking about Steelers football so far.
I said going into camp that it appeared to me that Gilbert played better football on the left side, and Adams played better on the right side. I'm not in love with either of them, but that's what I would have attempted at the start of camp.
I'm assuming that Beachum is no longer an option because he will be a starting guard now. So I agree. I would let Gilbert take a shot at LT, and if I can't find anything good on the street, I'd just flip them and let Adams take another shot at the RT. He had good moments there last year (brief as they were).
"You cant dig your way out of a hole" is the primary geology that Tomlin should understand. Additionally, practicing zone blocking in camp and using power blocking in games would be a considered a "stone" to be overturned and stoner Mike Adams standing like a stone statue has been as effective as rock boots for a swimmer in the Allegheny river.
A lot of times people automatically assume that RT is simply less difficult that LT, therefore, if a guy is a poor RT, he will be a worse LT. And if a guy is a good LT he will be a better RT. I disagree with that philosophy.
I think Max Starks was worse on the RT than the LT. I think Gilbert was better at the LT than the RT, and I think Adams was better at the RT than the LT. So to me it's more about the individual player's strengths and weaknesses.
Adams wasn't a good pass blocker as a right tackle. I don't know what they saw that made them think he could play on the left side. He did seem to be able to at least hold his own when they were chipping the de with a tight end, since he didn't have to worry as much about getting beat on the outside.
It IS very hard to block a pass-rusher if you can't even touch them. So while Jared Allen is a beautiful pass-rusher, we still need to assure that our LT at least "touches" the pass-rusher.
Just push him a LITTLE BIT and Ben can usually handle the rest…he probably prefers it, actually. His best move has always been the "quick step forward in the pocket, then dart outside the gap that remains". But if you don't touch them, the gap gets VERY tiny.
It has to be all on the coaching staff at this point! Our lack of depth and talent is all on the coaches and player development. I've never been one to blame Tomlin and crew but other teams are doing more with way less! Our lack of quality draft picks in the later rounds is starting to show. Ignoring OL last draft was a BIG mistake. No big NT was a big mistake. And ilb, even with Footes injury shouldn't be a sixth rounder.
I'm going on record as stating "we have no left tackle" on this roster. Anyone hoping for Gilbert or Adams to turn some magical corner is delusional and gullible at best. They might want to go the 7-Eleven and try a dayworker.
When your QB comes out publicly and says he's on the worst team in the NFL. My comments get validated, when the home crowd boos you loudly, validation.
Tomlin needs to go,,and thats what WAY the Steelers need to go..
I tend to agree. But I've come to expect the OL to play poorly. They really are not doing any worse than I expected.
The play of the defense is what has rocked my world (in a bad way). I'm literally stunned with what I saw yesterday.
And while I try to give suggestions (as venting, or even hoping someone reads it that has a say in the whole deal)…I have almost nothing to suggest on that part. I'm at a loss. I hope LeBeau dials up something special, cuz he's the HOF'er…I'm not.
When it comes to Mike Adams, Tomlin needs more like a PHD/Masters Degree in Geology if he expects to solve Adams problems!
You are going to get blasted for that comment, so I'd like to defend you (at least a little bit) before that happens.
I'm pretty positive that there is no way in Hell that the Rooneys fire Tomlin after this season, no matter how it turns out. Opens up too many bad PR situations (since they are known for sticking with coaches through losing stretches).
BUT Tomlin is overrated. VASTLY overrated. His best assistant coaches STILL are guys hired by Cowher. His in-game clock management and replay-challenge choices drive me nuts.
And now, it's clear that many of the players have "tuned-out his message".
He delivers a nice press conference. And I like that about him. But not nearly as much as the National Media does. He had them at "hello" on that part, and they will defend him to the death based on that. To me, there's a lot more to coaching than that…and you are what your record says you are. He's been very pedestrian in the last 26 games or so.
While Tomlin goes about leaving no stone unturned, hopefully he also goes about figuring out why the Steelers just can't seem to protect the rock…
He's feeling a LOT like John Gruden in Tampa Bay. Very similar arc.
Yep. When I raised this point before the season, the response I got was that Adams had the potential to become not just a better run blocker but a better pass blocker than Gilbert. I think we've waited long enough for that potential to manifest. It may be that Adams can contribute more at RT than Gilbert can at LT. But Adams at LT is the blind protecting the blindside.
Last week my wife asked me if Tomlin is going to get fired. I said no of course not it's been at least 44 years since the Steelers have fired a head coach. I've also told her that very rarely does a coach who has "earned" the #1 overall draft pick, get the chance to exercise that pick himself the following year. Well folks, thats were we are right now. As of today we have the "best" or "worse" strength of schedule out of the 4 remaining 0-4 teams. So we are in line for the #1 overall pick.
Team (Strengh of sked as of today)
1.) Steelers (9-7 0.5625)
T2.) Tampa (11-4 0.733)
T2.) Giants (11-4 0.733)
4.) Jax (12-4 0.750)
Switch em.. put Adams on the Right and Gilbert on the Left..if that doesnt work then you incorporate Beachum accordingly
Or why the Defense can't grab a valuable rock when it's handed to them. They camp in Latrobe, not "Slippery Rock", correct? Lol.
I agree. But Beachum may be occupied for awhile. Looks like he's going to be the new starting LG for a big chunk. But probably easier to find a guard on the streets than a tackle.
That temperature on Tomlin's seat should begin to warm if this crap continues
When your qb who gets paid 12 million dollars publicly declares your team the worst in the league you start thinking about all the money you wasted and whether there are few enough lemmings in the fan base to send that qb packing without causing a riot.
Turn over stones? LOL, he has no choices. All he can do is switch the Tackles.
Unless they fix this line problem we are having, or address Ben getting rid of the ball faster, it will be a matter of time before Ben gets hurt. I am o.k. with him extending the play 3-4 times a game, but 80% of our offensive plays seem to be back yard football. The int. was a result of backyard football. Sanders tried to make his own route, and Ben tried to guess where he was going. Sanders stopped when Ben thought he was going to keep going. The short quick patterns are seeing praises from announcers and what type of breed our receivers are meant to be doing. They are small speedy receivers. The high percentage throws are what are needed. What we are witnessing is a lot of low percentage chucks down the field with some back yard plays sprinkled in. This is exactly why the Rooney's brought in Haley, but Ben, IMO, is going against the grain and not buying into this system. It's a selfish act on Bens part, and it WILL get him hurt.
Maybe not, but the Steelers played their best offensive football when Adams was starting at RT, in my opinion.
Gotta play to your QB's strengths. Ben struggles most (from an OT standpoint) when his RT gets pushed back into him, or when his LT gets easily beaten outside without pushing him past the pocket. He struggles the MOST when his guards or C's break down, but that's not what we are talking about right now.
Gilbert is prone to bull-rushes (that's why he tends to fall into his teammates' legs more than most tackles)…Adams is prone to getting beaten easily outside.
So I don't know what it would hurt to try it. If you've watched Denver or Seattle, we ain't beating them this year in a game that matters. That one's pretty safe. And I'm starting to wonder just how many teams the Steelers CAN beat.
It can't hurt to try Gilbert on the left and move Adams to the right. But as rookie, Adams had to face Allen who is only 2 seasons ago had 22 sacks. The guy is a sack machine and one of the all-time sack leaders among active players. It was a tall order to have Adams handle Allen. Adams only gave up 2 sacks all game. Where did the other 3 come from as Ben was sacked 5 times? The OL as a unit is suspect when it comes to both pass and run blocking.
Yes, I respect Jared Allen greatly. I agree that any Steelers LT would have had a rough row to hoe against him.
Everyone is talking about Adams. Let's not forget that he won the LT position in camp and pre-season. You think Gilbert will be the answer? Neither of these tackles have enough experience and snaps to play the position well. But just as with Jonathan Scott, the Steelers felt they could get by this season without an experienced LT like Starks. And don't tell me that Starks wouldn't be able to run the inside and outside zone blocking. This is on Steelers management. But if you ask me, the whole line stinks at run and pass blocking.
Tomlin is happy with 57 yds rushing from Bell? Give me a break! On the other side we saw 140 yds from Peterson. 57 yds is a reflection of the O line, not Bell.
Amen Reverand! This is just too logical I guess, meaning its over Tomlin's head….There you go talking common sense again Dave! 😉
Make the switch!! However, I don't think Beachum is much of an upgrade to constitute losing our Utility Man, more valuable as all-purpose backup
I don't know what to say except that both sides of the ball have been playing really bad ball. Drafts are a tough thing because you can only get what's available and try to fill some of your needs. That's why teams often have to supplement those needs with free agency (which the Steelers didn't).
Regarding NT, everyone was lambasting Poe a couple years ago. Well, he went very early but he's turned out to be an excellent NT for KC. We'll see what happens with McLendon but the Steelers are getting gouged on the ground which just didn't happen with Hampton. The draft of Ta'amu turned out to be a wasted pick.
I don't think Dave thinks Gilbert is "the answer". (although I can't speak for him). I read his writing enough to be fairly confident in saying he probably thinks "it may create better results than what's happening right now"….not "he thinks THAT is the ANSWER". Just "a better choice."
Correct me if I'm wrong, Dave.
Letting Starks rot on the vine is coming back to haunt them kinda like when they started Jonathan Scott and were lucky they could go and bring back Starks. Deja vu?
Love the last sentence!
Yes as things stand as they are. I believe the Steelers will eventually win some games this season. They are just in panic mode now. And so are the fans.
I wanted Poe too…but he was gone. Pouncey-play-debacle aside, I think the Steelers made the correct move by not trading up for such an unknown commodity as Poe. You tip your cap and say "good job Chiefs". God knows they've taken their shots at first-round DT's and DE's. So maybe they got one right.
I mean bell showed good vision and made a guy miss on his TD run, he did real good actually
I always had great respect for Hampton. But it's definitely grown in the last 4 weeks.
We have to make a trade for some kind of left tackle. That was known 2 weeks ago before the season was lost. We can still work on the future, even its for next season and before we lose our QB to injury.
I will be surprised if Gilbert winds up being a long-term solution.
The Steelers never do that in-season…is that good or bad? I don't know. What I HOPE they are doing is dipping into the waters of the Matt Light's of the world…ya know? Veteran guys who were excellent tackles who recently retired or were cut.
I doubt Light would come to an 0-4 team, with such a great Patriot legacy…I only used his name as a concept, but I certainly would call him (and others similar to him) anyway…what's a response of "absolutely NOT" hurt? Nothing.
I, too, was unhappy when the Steelers made no attempt to re-sign Starks. But after seeing him this season, Starks appears completely done. Perhaps he would have been more motivated if remaining a Steeler, but he may just be flat-out-done. So I have to put an abacus towards the Steelers brass on that one, as of now.
I'm glad he said it. Jacksonville is worse…the NYG have been awful, but aside from those 2, he's pretty spot-on as of right now. Hey, I put a 100 bucks on the Steelers to win the SB this year. Wow! They've stunned me more than they've stunned most people, that's for sure.
The majority of people saw this team as a 6-9 win team. I can't believe how bad they've looked. So I'm glad that the QB is acknowledging the disappointment that some of us feel.
Maybe he is done, I don't know, but he did a great job last year. Remember when all the Viking fans were saying "seeya" to McKinney and the Ravens picked him up? They needed experienced insurance for Oher but the Steelers choose to go into the season without experience at these key positions. Starks brought stability last season. The Ravens sometimes flip Oher to RT. There had to be someone who maybe near retirement who could be brought in to bridge the gap in experience. I am worried that Adams will lose confidence and then he's ruined because he was asked to man a position before he was ready or before he earned it.
And by the way, often, the BEST QB's call-out horrible play. See Tom Brady (throwing temper-tantrums on the sidelines), Troy Aikman (spiking a ball in Eric Williams's face during a horrible game by him), Dan Marino going off on the sidelines, Terry Bradshaw criticizing Chuck Noll publicly…. John Elway getting Dan Reeves fired despite a great winning percentage.
Yes, Joe Montana did not do that…but he was the exception, not the rule. The great ones don't accept horrible play. But still take the bulk of the responsibility. And Ben ALWAYS puts the blame mostly on himself first.
Let's look at some rookie tackles this year compared to Adams shall we?
As rated by PFF through week 4:
Mike Adams – Steelers – 2012 2nd round pick #56 overall.
Games played: LT (4)
4 sacks
6 hits
12 hurries
+1.7 penalty rating
Ranking #69 overall for tackles
Eric Fisher – Chiefs – 2013 1st round pick #1 overall.
Games played: RT (4)
2 sacks
1 hit
8 hurries
-0.2 penalty rating
Ranking #63 overall for tackles
Luke Joeckel – Jags 2013 first round pick #2 overall.
Games played: RT (4)
3 sacks
0 hits
11 hurries
-0.1 penalty rating
Ranking #59 overall for tackles
Lane Johnson – Eagles 2013 first round pick #4 overall.
Games played: RT (4)
4 sacks
2 hits
13 hurries
-0.4 penalty rating
Ranking #68 overall for tackles
Justin Pugh – NY Giants 2013 first round pick #19 overall
Games played: RT (4)
2 sacks
1 hit
19 hurries
+1.7 penalty rating
Ranking #64 overall for tackles
Adams' problems are magnified because he is on a
0-4 Steeler squad. How many of you knew these first round tackles were also doing so poorly? I'll take a Mike Adams who struggles this year on the left and grows into the position rather than a #1 pick next year who is going to look just as bad if not worse than Adams this year.
I read 43 comments and no one said anything about Beachum. Here is an idea….. use Beachum at LT, Adams at RT and Gilbert at LG if Foster is not back in two weeks. Slap me upside the head if you want, but tell me what the better alternative would be.
Wow, Good work Sekinger. Not everyone can be a Joe Thomas, DBrickashaw, or Ryan Kalil.
It actually does take some time to develop in this league.
You want to ask a guy that has never played guard to start an NFL game at that position?
A much better idea would be to not panic, let these youngsters grow into their roles and possibly give them some additional help via TEs and RBs chipping or staying in to block.
I recall speculation early in pre-season that Adams would be RT and Gilbert LT. Everyone was surprised when it was the opposite. More evidence that educated fans are better than the coaches these days.
I am not sure there are any 1st round LT or RT coming out in this draft, so what about free agency?
If Ben would stop turning the ball over so much in the clutch, we would have won at least one game
If we're talking week 6 (after the bye) before the Gilbert and Adams switch, then it would be week 7 before we know whether or not it was a good move..hopefully by then Foster is good to go and Beachum can be used accordingly
Ben isnt a surgical qb like Brady, Mannning and Brees we love him cause he was the qb in the SuperBowls that we won…thanks to a splash play, tough as nails defense. Seattle SB win ben was a 5 but Arizona SB win Ben was an 8.5 but NOT MVP
I mentioned before this last game that Fisher and Joeckel have both been struggling and these are supposed to be the prized #1 and #2 overall Tackles…
Jake Matthews is going to be a top 10 pick out of Texas A&M
I am glad you posted these stats. Every once in a while you'll get a player who is plug n play worthy, but it is odd. Fans need to understand that this line is going to take time to develop, again, patience is a virtue. We have had veteran presence on our team for a lot of years (hence the term old), so we are a little spoiled. This youth movement is nice, but with it comes a learning period that we all must get accustomed to. Those who recognize this aren't so quick to fire coaches and trade players away. Nice post William!!
Last year under Haley's "dink and dunk" offense, Ben was 6-2 and talks of MVP rumored before he went down against K.C. They need to get back to that style of play. Ben's style of play this season has resulted in 9 turnovers alone. This needs to change for the better, this style is not working.
Correct me if I am wrong, but Gilbert played some guard last year when Colon and Decastro were both out.
I have been a diligent Steeler fan since 1972 and I have never seen anything close to this. We are playing like we needed 5 more weeks of training camp. I also remember the 1 – 4 start of the 1976 season and saw those champions win 9 games just with defense, but no one thinks a repeat of that performance is possible. I agree that the line will improve with more experience, but as they acquire this experience, our 31 year old QB will turn 38 by the end of the season. I can recall several HOF/ All pro QB's that spent their entire rookie seasons getting sacked 5 times a game but a 21 or 22 year old can take it. Is it time to panic? Yes, it probably is.
What a waste. Those who are looking at the "upside" of a down year for the Steelers (getting a top draft pick in 2014), here's the bad news: They'll only end up spending it in an area that should be fixed by now. Four top picks in this line, and it folds like origami. Ben is a franchise QB, and his talent is being absolutely WASTED behind substandard personnel.
And no, Starks was not the answer. His age was really beginning to show, he couldn't cut it with the Chargers, and he doesn't fit a zone blocking scheme. He only looked good here because our line was that bad.
I'm not a fair-weather fan. I'll be a Steelers fan for life, but this team is disgracing themselves. And it's pissing me off.
Absolutely. Something nobody is talking about and someone on facebook commented, Roethlisberger has committed 10 turnovers in 2013 already. From week 14 to the end of the 2012 season, he committed 6 turnovers. Is it any wonder the team is on a losing streak continued from last season? It's hard to win when you are turning the ball over. The QB has to be the first one to 'protect the rock'.
Thanks for providing these eye-popping stats!!
Something I noticed is that all these high touted talents aren't even playing LT with their respective teams, while Adams is struggling by himself on his island.
As I mentioned in another post, Adams has played against absolute beasts in the likes of Jared Allen and Julius Peppers and has only had 4 games under his belt at LT.
The truth is, he's struggled big time, and we can only hope that he will fare well against lesser competition.
Exactly. Blindside tackle may be the most important position after qb on O. Essentially Colbert will have let Starks go and replaced him with Whimper when Adams gets benched.
Stunned is a good description. Is the LB coach the same as the Dline coach? Perhaps that is where we can make a midseason change that could have immediate effect. Otherwise our no sack D is a prescription for number one pick….
Franchise QB's do not turn the ball over with the frequency and squash the outcomes of games that we have witnessed over the last 3 or 4 weeks. I have always been a Ben fan but this is really getting ridiculous. He makes a great play and then kills the team with really strange turnovers at the worst time. Blame it on the line or coaching or the stars in the sky but do not try to convince me that protecting the football is not his #1 job. A lot of this is indeed on #7…he just does not look the part of a player that can carry his team anymore or be the comeback kid. I really truly hope I am wrong. With that being said, I will continue to watch games hoping for a win. Go Steelers!
You forgot about Whimper.
The O has gotten beter. The no sacks D is our problem.
Taking away their billiards and ping pong didn't work, so no more scrabble and twister until we have 9 wins.
I believe in John Mitchell and Keith Butler more than I do the players in those positions. By quite a ways. What's stunning is how much we miss Hampton, Foote, and Keenan Lewis. I respected all 3 of them, (& in that order of respect as I listed), but I didn't see this one coming by any means. The Minnesota game was horrible. I live 30 miles from K.C., so I'm VERY familiar with Matt Cassel. He looked WAY TOO comfortable. Like he was scared of absolutely nothing. And this was a guy who was about as easy to rattle as any QB in the league for 2 seasons straight.
He's definitely not looking good right now. It's the first time I can honestly say he looks really "skittish". I love Ben, so I truly feel he will find himself, but right now he seems surprised when he has a good pocket, and is "feeling pressure" when there is none.
To me the pass protection is simply "poor"…the same as it has been for at least 5 seasons. But for whatever reason, Ben is acting way more skittish than in the previous 5 seasons.
As long as Foster's injury is correctly diagnosed, and timetable appropriate, then I'm happy with this new news of a lesser-injury. Because even though Foster has had a rough start, I think Beachum can be better used elsewhere than his spot.
BUT, if the Steelers medical and training staff do what they USUALLY do, and mis-read the timetable for a return, and he misses about 9 weeks instead of 3-4…then it's a wasted roster spot. And then I will be greatly irritated.
Yes, it should. I don't want him to be fired after 2013, but a "wake-up-call" would be appropriate. The National-Media treats him like he's Bill Belichick or something. That gets on my nerves, even when they are winning. He's somewhere around Lovie Smith and Brian Billick…deserving of decent respect…but the effusive praise to him by the National Media is way too…."something"….not sure what…but "something annoying."
Tomlin needs to just quite trying to fool himself and everyone around him. This line was never going to be any good this year. This crap about zone blocking please , we have slow footed, weak blocking lineman and there isn't a scheme out there that will help them this tear. Trying to throw 5 young guys in there at once and hoping they were all good was fool hardy. I said this before the season started and i was told on this forum that i didn't know anything about football.BTW we ain't got any backups 2 more injuries and this could get worse.
Garbage stats aside, this is definitely the worst I've ever seen Ben play since 2006. And I love Ben, so it hurts to say it…but it's the truth.
That just floored me. Yea I guess when you put it in prospective he really isn't doing that badly. Great point!
Good point. And there's something to be said for a guy looking a lot worse when he's not on the team he wishes he was on. It's hard to say.
But I, like you, definitely would have liked to at least see him in Steelers training camp so we'd know for sure what he had left as a Steeler.
I hear the cries for the job of coach Tomlin, but coach Tomilin isn't the problem. We need to look at the talent we are putting on the field and that falls on the GM. We can't block on the left side of the line and we have only one wide receiver that can get open. Our DB's can cover more than 5 seconds and we have no pass rush. All these attribute to a bad team. coach Tomlin can't play any of these positions. So who we "Steeler Nation" are putting on the field is the problem.
Not always. RB's and OL often perform at extremely high-levels straight out of college. Highly drafted, low-drafted, or undrafted.
And then some guys like Marvel Smith, or John Jackson…can look horrible at a young age, and become excellent players.
So you never know.
No way can anyone say that the Steelers have done well in solving the OL problems. They've tried very hard, but it's simply not good.
When PFF has your best OL performance as a guy signed off the street one-week earlier…then Kudos for the signing…but crappos on the high-draft picks who can't beat a guy off of the street with the playbook in his hand for 4 days.
I'm not dissing the Steelers…to be fair…they do an EXCELLENT job of getting value in their WR draft-picks and development…and excellent jobs on the value in their LB's and LB development.
But on the OL, when you consider the premiums of the picks they spend…and the results that follow…it's a major fail in my book. Perhaps they are hiring poor OL coaches…I won't rule that out, by any means…but the OL has been considered "bottom 25%" by every expert I've ever heard speak of them for at least 5 years…and by many excellent Steelers fans as well. The results definitely are not matching the investment.
I'd just be satisfied with the National Media world not treating Tomlin like he's Vince Lombardi or Bill Belichick.
He's definitely earned most of the criticism he's finally getting. But he deserves another year, even if this one goes as badly as it looks like it will.
Yeah, he's not…but aside from Brady, he still is better in big games than Peyton Manning or Brees, in my opinion. You mentioned (like every National Media person constantly mentions, the Seattle SB). Fair enough…but his 3 playoff games to GET to the SB were nearly perfect…2012 Joe Flacco-ish…or Joe Montana-ish…so CAN WE AT LEAST REMEMBER THAT when talking about 2005…(even if we forget that he also made the most clutch tackle in Steelers history as a cherry on top"?
Unfortunately, it takes 16 games to get to the "big games". And all 3 of those guys are superior to Ben in those key 16, as much as I love him. He has not looked good so far, at all. The numbers lie, with regards to his performance. He's been very skittish and turnover prone.
Coaching does have a say in this. Lake turned Keenan Lewis from a guy who was another draft bust to a starter, Mitchell made McLendon into a everyday starter from a undrafted free agent. There was a saying by now deceased owner/coach Al Davis where he said" if they did it once, they can do it again" it is up to the coaching staff to get the talent out of him.
LT's are as hard to figure out as QB's. You see a lot of first round LT busts
good work on that William.
Many people are suggesting a switch between Gilbert and Adams but since Gilbert is playing much better I hate to see us move him. We have to remember a OL needs continuity and with Velasco, DeCastro and Gibert getting comfotable with each other, hate to see us make more moves. What to do? I do not have the answer, maybe have a FB or TE to chip, maybe Beachum can play LT but of course Foster needs to be LG.
I agree coaching does play a role and its up to the coaches to maximize the talent of the player but at some point the coaches have to realize that players reach their full potential and they are not good enough for the team's scheme or even for the team
Words like continuity, patience and comfortable . Come on weren't we told this line was going to be the core of a some sort of power running football team. I remember Tomlin saying pedigree, top rate talent and everyone else was saying they were saving it for the regular season when they should have been getting acclimated in the preseason [not acting like some sort of established group]. You can show a turd from as many angles as you choose but it's still a turd.
Thats why we shouldnt draft OT first rd too risky. We should draft skill position players in the first ex. CB, TE,or WR. We havent did that in years since santonio.Now Its catching up with us. A OT is a OT as long as they can block Good.
I wholeheartedly agree. The best example is Special-Teams. The Steelers have consistently been "neutral-at-BEST" on special teams for my entire life. And often have had seasons ruined by Special-teams. YET, they are known for developing a "pipeline" of young players to replace their starters as the starters fail or fade….RARELY needing to delve into free-agency to fill voids.
So, when you have a bunch of good football players, (who later become good starters), yet the Special Teams consistently suck…then even though Special teams are different styles of plays…I think putting coaching in the sight-line of criticism is warranted.
Same with the O-line. I tend to give a pass to Mitchell and Butler on the DL and LB's because of their proven long-track-record in development as Steelers assistants…but I'm still with ya.
So you are saying there's a chance! I read you loud and clear.
It's a big problem…I'd prefer Gilbert at LT and Adams at RT while Beachum fills in at LG…but I have very limited confidence. Just a little more than how it currently stands.
I guess the word I would have used in the preseason was hope. We had 5 healthy guys where 4 were 1st or 2nd rounders and the hope was they were all going to come of age but even I commented that the OL was still an unknown commodity.
it seems that the leagues scouts were all wrong about Adams, and Gilbert never really showed us much in his short career to every place him at starting LT…( Oh how we miss STARKS!)
how often does our OL get discombobulated by stunts while the same Steeler blitz scheme does NOTHING?!
OR, how often do our outside line players WHIFFFFF at there defenders?!
NO WAY !!! This team lacks talent , coaching and now spirit. What's on the field right now for the Steelers is going to take some time to fix. First the garbage needs to be taken out. Then start over with no more smoke and mirrors. In other words the Steelers can only be good because they are, not because they SAY they are. Instead of continuing with the Steeler tradition this team hired then started doing what all the average teams in the NFL do. And they became that. Now it's up to the front office to fix a huge problem which they created. Start by firing Haley , Bricknell and the WR coach and put EVERYONE else on notice players and coaches .
Fire Tomlin Haley and hope Art II gets sick
They will win for sure and unfortunately it wont net us a SB nor will it increase the odds of solving our problems by picking later (after Jax, Giants, Tampa, etc etc etc other teams)
First – Adams is not a rookie. He is a second year player that simply cannot play football. Watch any game this season and concentrate on his footwork and awareness. It does't exist – he is just a big mountain of waste in a black and gold jersey – protecting Ben's blind side no less.
I really wanted to like this kid, and high expectations coming out of OSU – but he just doesnt have it. Time to move on at LT and plug that hole before he kills our QB
Brandon, I hear your frustration and agree with many of your comments. But our Dline and front 7 are the WORST IN THE LEAGUE BY FAR.
get Max Starks! isn't he a free agent
No I didn't. That's not even an option, and that was made clear last game.
Did you watch the game lol? 2 sacks all game doesnt tell the entire story as Adams was absolutely horrible. At times he couldnt even slow down the pass rusher. At other times he didnt even touch him. The announcer even commented that the LT appeared to be tying his shoes on the play. As far a Gilbert at LT we already tried that, remember?
If you watch his college tapes, you will see the same stuff. He has his moments but plays soft. Almost like hes not paying attention. He even let a couple of thugs beat and stab him up while out partying. He really needs to toughen up and work hard but I dont know if its possible..It may not be in his make up.

Product description
For graduate level courses in Strategic Management, Business Policy, and Organizational Theory. With the goal of offering students something unique from other texts, this collection of readings, edited by Henry Mintzberg, is combined with cases from Quinn, Lampel, and Ghoshal. Together they present an up-to-date look at how actual companies act strategically and organize themselves. The authors provide the reader with a richness of theory, a richness of practice, and a strong basis for linkage between the two. Combining the case study approach with theory provides the accumulated benefits of many years of careful research and thought about management processes, and emphasizes the authors' belief that in this complex world of organizations a range of concepts is needed to cut through and illuminate particular aspects of that complexity.

Back cover copy
"We tried to provide the reader with a richness of theory, a richness of practice, and a strong basis for linkage between the two. We rejected the strictly case study approach, which leaves theory out altogether, or soft-pedals it, and thereby denies the accumulated benefits of many years of careful research and thought about management processes. We also rejected an alternate approach that forces on readers a highly rationalistic model of how the strategy process "should" function. "We collaborated on this book because we believe that in this complex world of organizations a range of concepts is needed to cut through and illuminate particular aspects of that complexity." There is no 'one best way' to create strategy, nor is there 'one best form' of organization. Quite different forms work well in particular contexts. We believe that exploring a full variety systematically will create a deeper and more useful appreciation of the strategy process. In this revised edition, we remain loyal to these beliefs and objectives."

Metal Albums with Googly Eyes Will Make Your Day Better

Before Judd Apatow was "Judd Apatow" he wrote a movie in 1995 called 'Heavyweights,' about the adventures of a group of portly young men who had been sent by their folks to a weight-loss camp.
We've been able to track down the whereabouts of most of the actors who played these jolly campers. Others, however, have seemingly disappeared and we can only hope that it's not because they eventually fell prey to the Tony Perkis method of dieting and wasted away to nothing. See what your favorite 'Heavyweights' child actors are up to today.
In 1994, Disney remade the classic 1951 baseball film 'Angels in the Outfield.' The premise of the movie is that a young baseball fan, who has been placed in foster care, reaches out to his widowed birth father and asks when they will be a family again. The dad sarcastically replies, "When the Angels win the pennant." So, the boy prays for that to happen, and has his prayers are answered when a group of angels come to earth to help the baseball Angels start winning.

December 19th is our day for "DJ's Unite For Life" at United Blood Services(1444 Grand Ave.)! We need your help to save lives and win our DJ Challenge!
Do you know what day it is? Huh, huh, huh? Wednesday you might say. But no, it's not just any old Wednesday. It's hump day and time for my "Hump Day Track Of The Week"! This weeks pick rocks too!
Have you heard of Skyview High School's "Christmas Feast"? My daughter had mentioned it to me last year, but due to work, we were unable to go. Not the case this year!
We've kept track of all of the 'Home Alone' actors who played the McCallister youngsters, and you can learn about what they are up to below.
I've been on this trivia kick lately and I love it. I like testing out all the useless information packed inside my mind melon. I am amazed at all of the crap that gets stored up there. Know what I mean?
If you listen to my show, you probably already know who I have a Man Crush on. It's kind of funny though, I never used to care much for him. I just thought of him as another boy band guy, with not much to offer in the way of music. Man(Crush) was I wrong!

James Overton Conner
You've put through a request for a photo for James Overton Conner at Farmer Cemetery, Anderson County, Tennessee. I already have one posted and someone contacted me to "clear" the request, but the only way I think I could do that is upload the same photo. So wondered if you were hoping to get a better photo with your request or just call me curious about the request.
James is my ancestor - my great-great-grandfather - through his daughter Harriet who married William Herrell. I would be happy to share info if you are also related.

I took and posted the photo this morning. His grave stands pretty much alone and appears to be the only Conner in the Wimmer Cemetery. The date of June 16, 1927 is the only one on the stone, along with his military unit.

William Conner - @ Inglewood
Hello. I was at the Inglewood Mausoleum Saturday morning. William Conner is not located in the crypt #1106; the name on that crypt is Hammond. The office gave me the correct location but I was unable to go to the location because I had to leave for an appointment. I will get the photo next Saturday.

Hi Josephine,
I have finished Ernest, Charles & Carlton. As you will see, I could find no personal marker/ grave for Emily, but I posted a site photo of the Lambert plot where she is supposed to be.
i also have a photo of Leona Lambert's stone, which was near where Carlton is buried.
There were many other Lamberts buried in the plot where Ernest is... they are John, George, William, Nettie, Washington, and Alaminta. I can upload them if you'd like to make a requesst for them.

"Teaching is a work of the heart" is the motto of Angelique Kwabenah, our July International Reading Association (IRA) Member of the Month, and she demonstrates it daily. Angelique is a reading specialist for the Washington, DC Public School's (DCPS) Incarcerated Youth Program. The Program promotes academic rigor, provides opportunities for academic success through experiential learning, and fosters a climate that both develops and supports students and welcomes the involvement of parents and community partnerships. Angelique is one of the dedicated teachers that use literacy to enable students to acquire the academic knowledge, interpersonal skills, and values necessary to become productive community members. In this interview, she shares her path to this challenging role and what keeps her going.
How did you begin your career, and what led you to your current position?
I began my career in 1994, as a fourth grade teacher in Prince Georges County Maryland. I taught in the county for five years and then worked as a reading specialist for five years. I transitioned to my current position as a Reading Specialist at the District of Columbia Public Schools Incarcerated Youth Program, ten years later.
What is the biggest challenge in your current role?
The biggest challenge in my current role as a reading specialist in a correctional setting is motivating my students to read and I use a variety of resources and strategies to get them excited about reading, such as music, poetry and popular culture.
What are you reading (personal, professional, or even children's/YA)?
I am currently reading Slam by Walter Dean Myers in preparation for my summer workshop course.
What do you consider to be your proudest career moment?
My proudest career moment took place this year, when I was selected by Scholastic as the Read 180 Stage C Educator of Excellence for 2013-2014. I was awarded $1500.00 and got the opportunity to attend the Model Schools/Read 180 Conference in Orlando this year.
How long have you been a member of IRA? How has membership influenced your career?
What do you like to do when you're not wearing your educator hat?
When I am not wearing my educator hat, I love to travel domestically and internationally. Favorite locations include: New York, Las Vegas, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. I also love to read!
What's the best advice you could offer someone new to the profession?
The best advice I would give to new teachers is to be fair, flexible and to have fun!

Day 56. Thursday 9th October. Abiquiu to Polvadera Mesa Wild Camp. Apsley Cherry Garrard eat your heart out; today was the worst journey in the world. Things started so perfectly: we woke up in a bed, in our own casita, had a lovely breakfast of granola, yogurt and banana on our own dining table looking out onto grape vines, and boiled a kettle for tea on an actual gas stove in our own kitchen, before having a hot shower in our own bathroom. Lisa then made us a ...

... take to Africa and wanted to test it out and see what putting it up consisted of. We were pleasantly surprised to be able to put it up without any trouble.
We fixed a soup for dinner and just as we were sitting down to eat a herd of elk came down the mountain side and were having their dinner in our view. What a treat! The work crew was being treated to dinner in town so we just met them ...
Oh, we have 12 vacancies. 12 cabins, 12 vacancies.
OK, so I didn't go into details on last night and the place I stayed in. I didn't want anyone, like my mother, to worry till I posted again. But I scared myself silly last night in the motel I stayed in. I know everything was totally imagined and I let all those scary movies I've seen get the better of me. I pulled into Cuba, knowing that I have better get a room, or have to drive at least another 50 miles till there was ...
I went to Cuba maybe eight or nine times.
I hadn't decided if I wanted to head to Santa Fe or Albuquerque to stay the night. But I thought I would head in that direction and see where the night would take me.

After decades of trying, George Lucas has finally succeeded in bringing the story of World War II's heroic Tuskegee Airmen to the big screen in "Red Tails."
Well, part of the story.
Filled with exciting computer-generated action, "Red Tails" captures events in 1944 when the 332nd Fighter Group, comprised solely of African-American fighter pilots, finally got its chance at crucial action in the skies over Italy and Germany.
There are killer dogfights, exploding trucks, exploding trains, exploding ships, exploding planes and what else you got that explodes? Fighters swoop low over targets and plunge precipitously while streaming smoke as pilots pull Gs while doing abrupt turns and rolls, climbing for the heavens, laugh, holler and dodge bullets pinging through their canopies.
There are Italian-like coastlines, villages and women, all looking scenic. There are card games and drinking, casual conversations with heavy foreshadowing, men in crisp uniforms, saluting crisply and promising to do their duties. There's a Jewish guy, a Southerner, an Irish guy... Oh wait, they are all black guys.
For this is really the story of how, strained to the limit, America's racist military establishment turned to African-Americans to help win the war. That story might include the bigotry these men had to overcome just to be considered for training as pilots — at field built by black contractors just 40 miles from an existing pilot training center, which in the Jim Crow South was "whites only."
It might have included details of the extreme perseverance and self-discipline needed by these would-be pilots, enrolled in a program that effectively served as a quota, with a ceiling on the number of those who would ever be accepted. It might have showed incidents like the reassignment of the training officer for the first class of Tuskegee airmen, the 99th Fighter Pursuit Group, after he asserted that white civilians should obey his black base sentries.
In the absence of such details, we get: Lightning (David Oyelowo), the reckless ace with an eye for the ladies; Easy (Nate Parker), the by-the-book captain who drinks to cope with stress; Junior (Tristan Wilds), the youngster who wants to prove he belongs; Smokey (Ne-Yo), who speaks as though he is reviving Richard Pryor's Mudbone character. And so on.
To their credit, Lucas and his collaborators recognize there should be back stories. Director Anthony Hemingway and writers John Ridley and Aaron McGruder (from John B. Holway's book) shine some light on the pervasive discrimination these pilots overcame. The movie opens with a brutal quote from a ridiculous 1925 "report" by the U.S. Army War College about why blacks cannot be soldiers.
As commanding officer Col. A.J. Bullard, Terrence Howard has several good scenes at the Pentagon, jousting with white officers like the open racist played by Bryan Cranston, trying to shut down what he views as a dangerous experiment.
"We have the right to fight for our country the same as any other American," Howard tells him. "We will not go away."

Hi there,
I'm having trouble with a post - I'm trying to post it on facebook via a wall post, and the thumbnail is not showing up.
The address is http://www.epicuriously.com.au/index.php/unforgettable-red-velvet-cake
It's only doing for this certain post - that I posted up about 4 hours ago. I've tested it with previous posts and the thumbnails are working fine.
I've run it again the facebook linter, and it's picking up the correct OG:image. So I can't figure it out. Is it because it's only a recent post? I've tried it with previous posts and it seems to be working ok.
Please help!
Thank you,

hooray for childhood memories! I have fonder memories of Rayman 2 but this game was still a brilliant one :3
Another Rayman like this one for next-gen consoles please.
I like Rayman, but I will not be getting all trophies for this game. I can see myself getting 6 out of 12. The way the camera works makes me not want to try for a plat....
planing on getting this in preparation of when I get Rayman Origins in August.
I love this games dialogue and music so much.
Amazing how playing this now I remember absolutely nothing from when I played and (I think) finished the game on PS2. It's like a brand new game so lol

As for when you get the prints. Well if walbergb's mail arrives today or tomorrow then I post all prints out via posting box in front of post office Thursday night and I hand carry walbergb's prints and post from US. Otherwise my wife is going to do the sort and post in my absence.

Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes. This was a magical start to the day. So quiet and peaceful and it really gets the vastness into perspective. The views are stunning and the breakfast served in the middle of nowhere after the flight was impressive. Take a bit of money with you as the CD of photos taken during the flight along with some of their personal best is great value at $30 and our friends also bought a cap! A tip for the staff, although not expected is appreciated and I am sure makes a big difference in their lives.

Hello, you should consider obtaining HTML version of template which works under PhoneGap. WordPress is not very good choice since all the PHP and scripting. Also from what I've heard from my customers they were very satisfied with this html template+phonegap connection.
Hey there folks, I would really appreciate if someone knew how to fight against these insert word people, that are just so low they have to ruin other's work. I got 1 star rating today based on fiction that my theme doesn't work under iOS8. Luckily I own iPhone with iOS8 and when I check my theme it just works like a charm. You may check it yourself to see it is working properly.
I'm pretty sure that this is just very, very low attempt to tarnish my work by competition.http://jmp.sh/2OKIZVD
So I'm asking Envato – how could I fight against this?
Whoa! You sir, are magician! Thank you so much
Hey there guys, I just realized that I can't find my old files on my computer for one of my hidden files. I really need those but there is no download link like the on in your portfolio. Is there any way to get this or should I just ask support for help?
For all who consider updating to Beta… I did the mistake and update to 10.10 directly and I must say it was a bad move. The system is painfully slow, Safari is buggy and overall impression is much worse then I expected. If I have a chance I'd go back in time and wait for proper update. Photoshop crashed unexpectly in the middle of the work like 20x in the last week so it's pain in the arse. Can't wait for proper update!
I also do all by myself and it feels great! You can learn so much stuff by this way. You don't do one thing over and over until you get bored so it's a great way to stay in shape
I'm using Magic mouse and overall I'm satisfied but the accuracy is way off sometimes. Tell me guys, would be Apple trackpad better instead of the MM?
@krafti: what do you mean? I think "buy now" on my landing page is pretty much great place to post ref link anyway I will be glad for any tips & hints from more experienced authors.
Hello guys,
I noticed some time ago that my ref rate is a little bit odd. I don't know if this is common thing but I have almost 10000 clickthroughs so far but only one real referral. I found this little bit strange since I try to add my ref link almost everywhere… is this normal?
Hello Envato felaz. I might have one little suggestion for new framework category. As a mobile theme developer I miss one particular framework category and it's jQuery Mobile. I think that this framework is just as serious for mobile templates just as bootstrap is for desktop templates.


text: Feel the burn, or in this case don't feel the burn. This addition of Royal Remedies has been created to help prevent and sooth sun burns.�When ever we go outside in the summer knowing that we are going to be exposed to the sun for long periods of time, we sometimes remember to put on sunscreen. What we don't remeber is that sunscreen will only protect you for so long before you must reapply.�It only takes a few minutes of unprotected fun in the sun to cause that ever uncomfortable sun burn; here are a few household items you can use to protect and treat that nasty burn and also help prevent the damage the burn might have caused.�Fat Free Milk: Milk's creamy consistency and protein rich formula will help coat your skin to subdue the discomfort of a new sunburn. Apply cool milk with a soft cloth to the affected area for about 20 minutes every 3 hours.�White Vinegar: I know what you're thinking "ew", yes the smell of vinegar isn't pleasant, but neither is the swollen puffy redness that comes along with a sunburn. The anti-inflammatory properties of acetic acid in vinegar will act as a topical ibuprofen.�Green Tea Bags: If you went without sunglasses and now your eyelids are burned; apply teabags soaked in cool water to your lids. Tannic acid in the tea will remedy pain and swelling.�Everyone knows it's best to apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going out (especially between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.), even if it's cloudy (harmful rays can reach you through the clouds.)�Pick a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) between 15 and 30. Sunscreens with SPF 15 protect against 94 percent of the sun's harmful rays, and those with SPF 30 protect against 97 percent. Also, look for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide in the sunscreen to help protect against UVA and UVB rays.�Sunscreen Water: It's very important to reapply your sunscreen, it's also important to keep hydrated. Why not kill two birds with one stone and add some SPF 100 sunscreen to a spray bottle filled with water. As you cool off in the sun you are also reapplying that much needed sun protection.�Hydration: a sunburn is a burn and when you think of any type of burn you think "water" and you're right, your body will be extra dehydrated from the sunburn. Keeping a tall glass of water with you, all day everyday, until your burn subsides will do much justice.�Pomegranates: Are pumped full of antioxidant rich ellagiac acid that create UVA, UVB protection and aid with cell repair from sun damage.�Tip: Sunguardsunprotection.com sells an additive with a UPF 30 sun protection that goes into your laundry. It blocks more than 96 percent of the suns harmful rays and lasts up to 20 washes.�Trick: When all else fails the traditional aloe plant will do the trick to cool and calm your new sunburn. Just break off a leaf and open, then rub inside contents onto skin.�

Amazing 1886 PR65 Ultra Cameo Gold Dollar1886 G$1 PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC. This is an amazing 1886 Gem proof gold dollar whose Ultra Cameo classification makes it one of only eight Cameo/Deep Cameo pieces certified by NGC and PCGS. Additionally, it carries the coveted Star, the only Ultra Cameo so designated.
As a little background, we refer to Walter Breen's 1989 Encyclopedia of United States and Colonial Proof Coins, where he states of the 1886 proof dollar: "Many survivors have been scrubbed to within an inch of their lives." Breen also points to a sworn, notarized letter from dealer/collector Harlan P. Smith, who claims, during a visit to the Mint in Philadelphia in June 1886, that he witnessed, "with utter astonishment" the mishandling of several proof gold dollars by a coin and medal clerk (who was later removed from service). The point Breen is making is that "... we do have the explanation for many of the nicks and scratches, mentioned as common to many gold dollar proofs in the 1880's."
This lovely PR65 Ultra Cameo example obviously escaped the hands of that careless clerk! Its impeccably preserved, brassy-gold surfaces exhibit amazing gold-on-black contrast. A well executed strike adds further appeal to its already outstanding beauty. Sure to please even the most discriminating connoisseur of proof gold coinage.(Registry values: P1) (NGC ID# 25EW, PCGS# 97636)

Pitch In For Baseball will provide new and gently used youth baseball and softball equipment to youth leagues devastated by Hurricane Sandy. This donation will allow children impacted by this disaster to return to a state of normalcy and help them enjoy the game they are so passionate about.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
On October 29th, Hurricane Sandy tore through regions of the northeast and devastated multiple communities in the region. We have identified various leagues that need assistance to restart youth baseball for the 2013 season. These are communities where their equipment was literally washed away from the events of that day.
How will this project solve this problem?
Through our communications with league presidents throughout the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut region, we have identified the equipment that each league needs to restart their youth baseball program. These items will be shipped to the northeast region for distribution to the respective leagues well in advance of the start of the 2013 season.
Potential Long Term Impact
Pitch In For Baseball helps children grow physically, socially and emotionally through the game of baseball. In regions where a devastating event has occurred, our donations give kids a chance to "be kids" and return to activities they are familiar with which is crucial to their long-term development.
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $970
Funding Information
This project is now in implementation and no longer available for funding. Received funds will be used to accomplish concrete objectives as indicated in the project's "Activities" section. Updates will be posted under the "Project Report" tab as they become available.
Donors' contributions and pledges to this project totaled $970 . The original project funding goal was $10,000.
Additional Documentation
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).

Ok I live in a townhouse complex with other families and we all share the fenced in backyard. Some of our doors open right into the yard, and some have stairs up to their doors.
I have enjoyed keeping my kitchen door open so my 3 year old can have fun back there and I keep tabs on her and she can get me easily if she needs me. There are other kids, age 4 and older who play nicely together back there sometimes too.
Now there is a 15 month old baby that is left out in the yard unsupervised - happens that their door is up the stairs and the mom is not down in the yard. This little one keeps walking into my house, and often takes my child's stuff or closes my door over and over.
Not only do I feel like I'm having to supervise/babysit/redirect someone else's LO, it is upsetting to MY DD (we've gone through a lot recently) and for some reason my DD really doesn't like this little one...
I'm tired of having to pay constant attention to this 15 month old and I need to talk to the mom again about better supervising her child, as it is a shared yard area.
Am I being unreasonable, and what should I say, if anything?

Tying Small Flies
Get out your magnifying glasse: Ed Engle has given us a real gem of a book on the art and science of small flies and small fly tying. Bob Petti thinks this is one of those rare books that will stand the test of time and be a major influence on fly fishers and fly tyers.

The first rule of salmonfly tying is preparation...gathering your materials, laying them out and sizing up the situation. If you are like me, many times you will have one material that is just a touch too short and you scramble to make it fit. But in the long run, it will never fit and the fly that you meticulously hovered over for many precious hours has that major flaw. More importantly, you'll never be happy with the finished product. If only you had pre-planned and sized up your materials ahead of time.
Hook comparison charts are at best fickle or at worst too confusing and inaccurate to use. It is critical to remember that this chart does in no way list equivalent hooks but attempts to list hooks based on similar applications.
It is now more than a year ago since Mustad took over Partridge of Redditch. And I thought it might be of interest to you to have an update on the status...
Hooks do break occasionally. It's a typical error when night fishing: you trust that everything is OK at the business end and just cast away
