[QUOTE=Oviedo;518760]Our DL played very well. Go to the 4-3 and problem solved:stirpot
Won't have to roll the dice on converting DEs to OLBs every year and get into these depth issues.[/QUOTE]
LOL...Perhaps we are an injury away from playing more 4 - 3 as our base defense...you never know... :-)
But I do agree that the DL played well and we appear to have quite a bit of young talent on the DL.
Not sure I agree with your last statement..I think the Steelers have been very successful at this...Maybe not always via the draft but finding and keeping OLB talent has been a strength...

Given the propensity for teams to line up in passing formations nearly every down, I think the Steelers will be playing a lot with nickel and big nickel defenses, which would include a 4 man line...

would a 4-3 front look something like:
Woodley - Hood - McClendon - Heyward/Keisel?
It may not have the traditional 2 fast DE's but Carter or Worilds could sub in for some passing downs with Heyward/Keisel if needed.
I'm not at all opposed to seeing this happen given that the most impressive defense I've seen over the past 5 years has been the Giants when they are firing on all cylinders.

Would you people give up the 4-3 vs. 3-4 debate??? Does it really matter with teams having multiple formations and personel now???
The Steelers are drafting still for 3-4 Fronts.
Tomlin has been here 5 yrs. now and we are still a 3-4. Get over it...if & when it happens, it happens.

Sorry, guys. Dad says I have to go inside now and stop being a sports fan.

This guy seems to be the talk of training camp, like Baron Batch was last year and Redman a few years ago. Wasn't there a poll or something on here asking who people that it would be this year. Just wondered if any picked this guy. I only got to see the second half of the Eagles game but I was wondering who the guy was getting in the backfield all the time until I was finally able to read the jersey.
