Steelers first round draft pick tears MCL. The Steeler and their fans react predictably.

Steeler nation is melting down this morning as first round draft pick David Decastro tore his knee up in a pre-season game.

Wow that sucks. 

Maybe he should learn not to get steamrolled. LOL

As expected Steeler fans are martyring themselves on twitter this morning. The best part? Apparently field turf was at fault, and Decastro is the only player in the history of the NFL to tear his knee up on field turf.

From living excuse maker Ben Roethlisberger himself:

Well, I just saw him, (and his) spirits are high," Roethlisberger said of DeCastro at halftime. "We don't obviously know -- well, I don't know what the official word is. This is a great field, but it's FieldTurf, and it's just killing guys because they can't get their feet out of the ground, and it's just another reason we should get rid of FieldTurf."

Oh for christ sakes. Shut the fuck up.

Some great reaction:

Steelers have already lost David Johnson, now DeCastro, Mendenhall not ready, and Wallace hasn't shown up. Welcome Todd Haley.

Re: David DeCastro…Oy. Study: “ACL injuries 88% more likely on FieldTurf than natural grass.“ Via @sc_dougfarrar: sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shut…

Damn it. DeCastro is out for a while. I hope the OL will be ok. Big Ben has to stay on his feet. Hope DeCastro gets better.
