STEEL CURTAIN RADIO #191 ADAMS AND SPENSE POST-DRAFT INTERVIEWS [ 31:15 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadSteelers Get Gift As DeCastro Falls In First Round
Posted by Jason and Jayden – If it ain’t steel, it ain’t real!
The NFL so dominates the American sports consciousness that even it’s ancillary events get national attention. That was on full display Thursday, April 26th as the NFL held the 2012 version of its annual draft. A draft that saw the Pittsburgh Steelers, like an early Christmas gift, have DeCastro fall to them.
If the second round follows suit, I’d like to put in a request for Amini Silatolu or Mychal Kendricks to fall as well…and season tickets. Just sayin’…
I’m not sure whether or not the Steelers are still smiling like the cat who stole the canary over DeCastro falling to them, but they must be ecstatic.
There’s no specific reason as to why DeCastro fell the way he did, but the Steelers won’t argue. Just like they didn’t in 1987 or in 2004. But maybe the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review’s own Mark Kaboly said it best when he said, “The Steelers didn’t pick DeCastro. The 23 teams ahead of them picked DeCastro for the Steelers.”
Either way, they’ll take it.
Decastro, who is 6’5″ 315 lbs with 32 3/8″ arms, is an extremely polished guard who started for three straight years at Stanford. He finished his collegiate career with 316 knockdowns and 68 touchdown-resulting blocks. He’s NFL-ready, has surgeon-like technique, gets to the second and third levels very well and will likely be serving up pancake blocks for years to come.
Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said that DeCastro was one of the seven to ten prospects that the Steelers had identified as “surefire” NFL players before the draft, because he “has no holes” in his game. He also said DeCastro was a player that the Steelers had identified as one they would trade up for.
Thankfully, it never came to that.
DeCastro can pull too. Which means keep on running the counter draw to his opposite side like they did with Kemoeatu.
Colbert said on another occasion that taking DeCastro doesn’t “preclude” the Steelers picking another offensive lineman the rest of the draft (like Amini Silatolu maybe).
As a point of amusement, DeCastro, a Washington native, grew up rooting for the Seahawks and cheered for them in Super Bowl XL.
“I wasn’t the biggest Steelers fan growing up. You beat us in Super Bowl XL. Now I am the biggest Steelers fan there is.”
All is forgiven, David.
With all that has been written about him already, there’s no reason to rehash what has been repeatedly said. So, here’s some reading and viewing pleasure for you. Hopefully it’ll to hold you over until the 2nd and 3rd rounds:

STEEL CURTAIN RADIO #133: 2011 STEELERS DRAFT BREAKDOWN w/ Jim Wexell , JJ Cooper, and Mike Bean (REPLAY) Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
by Jason and Jayden – If it ain’t steel, it ain’t real!
Why do I feel that Morgan Freeman should be narrating the two Steelers throwback uniform games?
On Tuesday the Steelers released the 2012-2013 80th season throwback uniforms that will be worn for two games this year. To just cut to the chase, they’re hideous. They’re throwbacks alright…to a time when people actually broke rocks in a chain gang.
There had been much speculation that the commemorative throwbacks would be the 1966-67 “Batman” uniform, but instead this year’s throwbacks are from the 1934 Pirates…and look like the garb of someone Batman would be throwing into jail. In fact, whomever decided to bring these back should be put in Arkham Asylum.
They have horizontal stripes. Horizontal! They are going to make Trai Essex look fat again. John Belushi in his Saturday Night Live Bee suit looked more svelte than anyone will in these uniforms.
Seriously, though, the uniforms are being roundly lambasted. I’ve yet to come across anyone who likes them. In fact many are against using the throwbacks at all. Though I was somewhat behind the black and mustard yellow throwbacks, I’m one who believes they may have run their course overall.
Will this be a continued look? Will we see these throwback uniforms in years to come? The NFL doesn’t seem to be slowing down with the throwback theme, so we may as well get used to them.
“I wish I could tell you that [Ben] fought the good fight…I wish I could tell you that – but [the NFL] is no fairy-tale world…”

The Steelers 2012-2013 schedule was released Tuesday and they’ll be facing Tebow and the Broncos again. Just on separate weeks this time.
Four of the first six games of the season will be on the road, including September 9th against the Peyton Manning led Broncos. (Gotta get used to that.) The next game is home against the Jets and Tim Tebow, with the final game before the early-once-again bye being at Oakland. So much for an easy early schedule.
The Steelers have five prime time games next season, but the only Monday night game is Nov. 12 against the visiting Chiefs.
The Steelers first divisional game isn’t until week seven at the Bengals, but then play the hated Ravens twice in 15 days. Leave the women and children at home…
The Steelers 2012-2013 schedule goes as follows: at Broncos, JETS, at Raiders, Bye, EAGLES, at Titans, at Bengals, REDSKINS, at Giants, CHIEFS, RAVENS, at Browns, at Ravens, CHARGERS, at Cowboys, BENGALS, & BROWNS.
As a point of interest, the Steelers will be home to the Bengals for the 40th anniversary of Immaculate Reception on December 23rd. Too bad it couldn’t have been the Raiders.
Sometime after the OTAs, this blog will do a breakdown of the season schedule and what we could expect for the upcoming season. In the meantime, here is an early ESPN schedule analysis: http://t.co/osM9nS1A
