No more black and gold: Offensive lineman Jason Pinkston, a native of Pittsburgh, grew up a huge Steelers fan but that's over now.

"I love them but it's on to a business now and I'm a Cleveland Brown."

So what will he do with all of his Steelers' gear?

"Donate it to Goodwill," he said.


Pat Shurmur said Pinkston will start out as a guard, but can play tackle, right or left. "I'm a hard worker," said Pinkston. "I've been in a pro-style offense with Coach Tony Wise, who's been my offensive line coach for a long time. We ran a lot of power football. Some of our blocking schemes are very similar to the Cleveland Browns.

"I'm a hard worker. I love football. I love playing offensive line. I'm a former defensive lineman. I'm ready to [get to Cleveland] and get back to work."

Edited to fix title, as pointed out below ......

Thanks for the correction. I fixed it.

Too damn early and too damn little sleep.

Based on the reaction of some of our own board members....I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are thinking about donating their gear to Goodwill..Geez.

I remember people saying the same things about Vickers when they drafted him and about Pontbriand when they drafted him. The point is Each one of these guys was selected with the intention of filling a specific role..either now or in the near future..

Good answer but to be honest I don't care what he does with his gear... as long as he comes out and plays his BUTT off against them every year and tries to stick it to his childhood favorite team...

we saw how much Quinn's love for the Browns as a kid paid off for him... to me it doesn't matter who you cheer for growing up... it's all about 'can you play'

What did Goodwill ever do to him? Maybe it will set off a stampede to donate that junk. Better play lights out. Play your butt off.

While that IS the bottom line, the sidelight always has a nice ring to it.

And he better not even worry about "sticking it twice" to his childhood team,...he's getting PAID to do it.

I'll be thrilled if Pinkston can develop into a quality back-up.

THAT would be just fine. It would mean we actually have a RT, no ?
