Maurkice Pouncey is a Pittsburgh Steeler. That's a good thing. The Florida center is a perfect fit for the Steelers. There's a lot to like about him, too. Sure, there are his physical attributes, but I was impressed with how, after he blocks one defensive lineman, he looks for more opponents. Some players hit their blocks and wait for a running back to go by them and head back to the huddle. With Pouncey, he attacks. And then he attacks some more. That will fit in nicely. What I really liked was his excitement with joining Pittsburgh. "I'm so happy to be a Pittsburgh Steeler," he told the Post-Gazette. "I'm so happy they picked me. I just like the Steelers so much." That's refreshing. I can't wait to see him play.
My take on what's happening on the Pittsburgh sports scene and beyond.
