The Steerlers had high hopes of protecting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger better in the 2012 season, Mr. Rooney even talked about protection Ben in the off-season. They draft David DeCastro to help do that. Now DeCastro tears his MCL on a play pass blocking in the Steelers preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. DeCastro was pass blocking when Marcell Dareus rolled over him and DeCastor twisted his leg, that was all it took, you could see DeCastro was having problems as he laid in the end-zone.

If memory serves me, Marcell Dareus is the same guy that knocked ...

David DeCastro was the biggest hit – he got rolled up on and had his knee bent in a way that knees aren’t supposed to bend (he had to be carted off)…it’s gotta be an ACL/MCL combo but here’s hoping we’re wrong. Brett Keisel left with a high ankle sprain but Mike...
