Kemoeatu says Pouncey will miss Super Bowl

[Romanowski]

Maurkice Pouncey’s superb rookie season apparently won’t end with a Super Bowl appearance. According to teammate Chris Kemoeatu, the Steelers will be without Pouncey for Super Bowl XLV against Green Bay after suffering what was initially being diagnosed as a left high ankle sprain.

“We are definitely sad that he won’t be able to be with us in the Super Bowl,” said Kemoeatu following today’s practice on the South Side. “Definitely I feel bad for him. We just have to win it for him.”

Pouncey suffered the injury early in last week’s AFC Championship Game against the N.Y. Jets. He did not return to the game and was relegated to crutches on the sidelines for the duration of the 24-19 victory.
Pouncey got an X-ray on the ankle Monday and was fitted for a cast. Pouncey was not available during the two open locker sessions and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin did not address the media today.

“We know how big this is for him and him not being able to play is definitely motivating for us to go out there and get that ring for him,” Kemoeatu said.

Doug Legursky will replace Pouncey at center and will be backed up by Trai Essex. Essex has played guard and tackle this season after originally starting the season as the starting right guard.

Bronco Legursky,,,, was asked if he was as good in the starters role as he has been in the the relievers role?

He said "well we will find out"

Ben will stiff arm ray jay to the ground, he's like hitting a snow plow....

Just need a center to snap the ball,

[Romanowski]

Pouncey not only was a pro bowl center in his rookie season...someone counted on to block of course

but he also captained the line...called the protections

its an obvious drop off

i'd be bummed if the kid can't play, not only for the team but for him personally....would suck to have to watch from the sideline.....never know if you'll get another chance to play in a SB

me to, but on the bright side you could Feel happy for Bronco Legursky.....




asked Legursky this week if someone told him a few months ago he could start in a Super Bowl, what would be his reaction?

"I would have said you were crazy," Legursky responded.
