LATROBE -- Ramon Foster gives a wide smile, looks to the ground sheepishly and laughs quietly.

Like most of the men he lines up next to on the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive line, Foster is affable, fun-loving and often flashes that smile -- off the field, anyway.

In the trenches? A different story.

Much different.

What induced Foster's chuckle on a muggy late morning last week at St. Vincent College was a question about the "mean," in-your-face persona the Steelers' offensive line appears to be embracing more than ever this season.

"Definitely, we have a little nasty edge to us," the right guard said.

Indications are that this season's reconfigured unit will play with an edge befitting a franchise traditionally known for its toughness and physical play.

"Our coach teaches us ... to always finish," Foster said. "If you've got a guy going down, put him on his back and show him why you are doing what you're doing."

Strong words from a 6-foot 6-inch, 325-pound former undrafted free agent from Tennessee who has started 26 games over the first three years of his career. But Foster delivers that message with a soft voice and something of a verbal shrug when he's in his T-shirt, basketball shorts and sandals.

Center Maurkice Pouncey is even more jovial when in street clothes. He resembles the Marshmallow Man from "Ghostbusters" fame a bit -- more for his ever-present grin than his 6-foot 4-inch, 304-pound frame.

It's not uncommon to see the former Pro Bowl center in a defensive lineman's face, involved in a skirmish or even sometimes taking personal-foul penalties.

"Totally different dude," Pouncey said of his on-field personality. "I lock in, I'm trying to be a warrior, try to go as hard as I can and try to go out there and lead the squad. I won't even think about being a nice guy out there. I'll shake your hand afterward. But during the game? It's not happening."

Well, as they use to say back in the day....Punch someone in the mouth


Just now, don't let Der Kommish see you do it - Harrison will get fined, and the Patriots** will get another draft pick.
