Is Ziggy Hood on the cheap better than Cam Thomas??

Because Ziggy just got cut by the Bears and the Steelers are making a move to make the playoffs.

Seriously, what would be better as far as getting the d-line some depth this time of year?

Honestly, I'd rather have Cam.

Interesting, why do you say that?

Wondering more because I assume they didn't feel Ziggy deserved free agent money, but he could have played here because he wasn't a total bust

I would have to agree. Ziggy Hood didn't work out in Jacksonville nor Chicago, so what would make you think that he would fit here?

Sad to say it, but Ziggy was a big time bust.

I thought ziggy was injured. I'd take 2010/2011 ziggy over cam 100 times over.

It's an insult to this forum to discuss Ziggy Hood.

It's damn near impossible for an NFL player to be worse than Cam. How can you do worse than being blown off the ball and driven downfield 5 yards every play?

He is clearly auditioning for his after-football career.....going on the figure skating tour.

Scam Thomas is multiple in his suckatude and can get knocked on his ass in all three DL positions. Hood only can suck at LDE, if you will.

Honestly I don't know why Keisel hasn't had his phone rung unless he never healed.

ask not is Ziggy hood a better option than Scam Thomas.............

but ask why would we not add Dline depth over keeping Jacoby Jones warm and fed.

I have been harping on the lack of depth at the defensive line since camp.
Specifically, we need to add DE depth.

Right now a roster spot is being wasted on Jacoby......in which a DE can be on board, in practice getting ready and up to speed and being prepared to get a hat on game days if needed.
We can say the same thing about the roster spot Michael Vick is taking up.........................and add another DB or OL to the roster.

Ziggy Hood and Ross Ventrone on the 53 over Jacoby Jones and Vick upgrades the roster last month ago.

Been calling for Keisel for a month or so.............

i think it was Ed Bouchette who said that Tomlin was keeping Jacoby Jones on board until after the Ravens game, specifically so they don't resign him and use him against us

which sounds like a batshit insane theory to me, but...

it was either Bouchette or Stan Savran, but i'm leaning towards the former

i think Ed is losing his mind

No way I'd want to face Jones in the return game. He has been really close to breaking one for us.

If you want to talk about a true waste of fucking space, Gradkowski also comes to mind.

He was a nothing journeyman who has done less than nothing getting injured. Makes you pine for Batch and Lefty.
