On a positive note- passed the 4000 post mark! Obviously there's too much time on Chadman's hands...[/QUOTE]
Congrats. 17 of those posts rank in my all time favorite PS posts.
[QUOTE=hawaiiansteel;535195]very doubtful, Keenan Lewis has zero interceptions so far this season.[/QUOTE]
If he had held onto the ball that hit him in the chest late in the Titans game, there is a chance that he could be closer to his pro-bowl aspirations, as that would likely have netted him a lot of attention.

In your top 17 or your top 1M?

"All time favorite" is a very personal thing. I don't feel comfortable disclosing the range.
[QUOTE=Chadman;535190]Just putting it out there, but Ike gets beat more often than Lewis this season..[/QUOTE]
Of course, Ike is also covering the opponent's #1 target. Both are having outstanding seasons. Considering that we are getting less pressure on the QB than in years past (other than last year), it is amazing how well the secondary has played.

Ummm...Ike always knocks the ball down because he has freaking stonehands.

Ike also takes on the opponents #1 WR every week. That does make a difference. Usually the #1 is fairly more talented than the #2.
[QUOTE=NorthCoast;535180]Ranked No. 1 in the league for passes defensed.... talk about taking the next step. I know I was doggin him last season, especially for some of his bonehead penalties. He is a big part of the reason the Steelers are No. 1 in pass defense. Between him and Ike, it's tough sledding. But time to give the guy his due. He has elevated his play to possibly being the number one target for contract negotiation next season.[/QUOTE]
Lewis is tied for the league lead with Chicago's Tim Jennings at 18 passes defensed each. Interesting that both of those guys play opposite of a 10th year CB from Louisiana-LaFayette. Now if only Ike could learn to force fumbles like Peanut Tillman (who leads the league in forced fumbles with 7) and Lewis could learn to pick off passes like Jennings (who leads the league in interceptions with 8[I])[/I], then we might just have something.
Speaking of passes defensed, how insane is it that DE J.J. Watt (13 passes defensed; tied for 6th in the NFL) has one more pass defensed than Ike Taylor (12 passes defensed; tied for 9th in the NFL). Batt those balls down, big fella!

Hahaha! Thank you very much! Never realised that Chadman would have such impact!! :)
