Does anyone know who that was, and what teams played?

You guys are so fing sharp, I doubt I will have to come back and tell you.

Unlike Barret Robins who was sent home right before the game for missing Raiders' team meeting one day prior to the SB vs Bucs, Steelers will have 2 weeks to prepare for the Doug Legursky. Also i watched the Jets/Steelers AFCC replay twice, and was impressed by what Legursky has done in that game, except the two busted exchanges between him and big Ben.

Difference in this game he's going against the league's best nose tackle.

Steelers have yet to rule Pouncey out of the SB but i think Doug Legursky will start for him.

If he has broken bones then i stand corrected. If it was just a sprain id expect him to play or try but broken bones obviously changes the situation. At least we know for sure now...

I second this...This is big lost, but they can overcome it. It would make a victory that much more satisfying

I agree, it will make it even sweeter to win this game. What could anyone say after overcoming that loss..

ya, lets get a practice report on how legurskey holds up to hampton in practice. hampton wont give 100% anyway, they cant afford to hurt legurskey. otherwise its trai essex at center, hahaha

hampton is old and will have very limited practices anyway. raji will plow this fool!

Let me explain it another way, he has matched up against Hampton and will be prepared for Raji. Granted It's not the best case scenario for Doug but since he is a pro football player i think he will survive...

The level of stupidity around here is mind boggling ....he's a 3-4 nose tackle, his job is to take on 2 lineman so it opens up things for the OLB.....geeze....take a class...

Okay i am done with this, if you dont know Hampton now you will after the game is over. The guy has been the centerpiece of this defense for some time, and if i am not mistaken ....it's the #1 defense in the NFL...What am i arguing ?? Raji is good too but he's new money....let's see him be the linchpin to 2 championships first...

and 1 PICK 6 when the play asked him to drop back into coverage!!!!

lets see fat ass hampton make that play, ha. would fall on his face. no, but i agree, hampton is still a force but he is close to retiring. raji will be a force for years to come and will display his talent in this game.

You SHOULD be done with this! So was Michael Jordan as good as a Wizard than a Bull? That's my point! Raji is twice the player as Hampton is TODAY!

Your both idiots....well get together again after the game and you can back track on your comparison. Raji is by no means better or 2x better...that statement alone will make you lose money....GL with your GB ticket..
