The first shoe dropped when former Packers coach Mike Sherman moved up to draft a punter in the 3rd round. The suspicion that Shermy was in over his head as a GM went round the league pretty quckly.
Now, the Steelers have to answer their critics when they traded a draft choice to get the opportunity to move higher and select punter Daniel Sepulveda in the fourth round last year.
Now they have to wonder if he wasn't damaged goods when they drafted him.
Sepulveda, who punts with his left foot, will miss the 2008 season because of a torn ACL in his right knee that the second-year player said bothered him since he rushed back to play for Baylor in 2006 just months after first having surgery to repair the same ligament.
He punted well enough that fall to become the only man to win a second Ray Guy Award as the nation's best collegiate punter and be chosen All-American for the second time in three years.
But, after numerous MRIs on the knee since his first surgery showed no tangible damage over the past two years, a tear finally turned up on an MRI performed by Steelers medical personnel yesterday.
Maybe we can ask Shermy to help us straighten out the Favre mess?
