It's not a 40-60 split. It is closer to 45-55. And if you cannot stop the run, it's incredibly easy for a team to beat you with short passes. It's a lot easier to defend third and long than third...

I would probably agree that PNC Park is one of the nicest stadiums in baseball, if not the nicest. I catch a good number of games at Citizens Bank Park, which is nice, but I think PNC is nicer. ...

The death of the running game is greatly overstated. Teams still run well in excess of 40% of the time. There has been a shift of only a few percent since the mid90s.

If you need to bring your...

You need more than 6 sacks to replace Harrison. You are completely ignorning his run defense, which was still exceptional. You are also neglecting to mention that Timmons played much better when...

That would be the best case scenario.

He was just released by the Ravens.

He is a very good blocker, and he also added 21 receptions. Will Johnson has more raw athleticism, but I think that Leach would be an instant upgrade. Any...

Short of cloning LT, it's going to be hard to find any OLB that was more disruptive than Harrison during his prime. He had the bull rush but could also get around the edge.

I thought you were a Jason Worilds supporter?

It's not that odd. Faneca was drafted in roughly the same range.

In the 4-3, don't you always know who is rushing the QB?

The biggest problem with pressure is guys not winning their individual matchups. Dick Lebeau can scheme to get Woodley one-on-one with a...

Not mention of the injury. Sucks for him, and also sucks that the Steelers get saddled with a somewhat significant cap hit for a guy unlikely to make the final roster.

Excellent point, Flippy.

McClendon was just a role player, and that is how he is valued by the rest of the league. Anybody could have given him a deal that would have put him out of the Steelers...

I remembered Urbik, but I didn't realize that the Bills had such an affinity for unwanted Steelers linemen until I read the writeup:
...

I would put DD behind Cooper and likely behind Warmack, though it is probably close. Warmack is more powerful, but DD is more mobile. I would put DD well ahead of Long.

Now that he has had a...

If Adams would have been killed, it is likely that all 3 would have been charged with felony murder.

I just don't get what Sanders has done to show that he could end up as one of the most dynamic receivers in the league. Even with Wallace drawing extra coverage, Sanders did little when he started...

Hopefully Adams recovers quickly and completely - first as a person, and second as a player.

There are still plenty of options available if the Steelers want to add another veteran. The Whimper...

There are a lot of players between the Ziggy Hood level and the Aaron Smith/Richard Seymour level. Two guys who come to mind are KVO and Ray Seals. KVO would get pressure on passing downs, or at...

Yup. Hard worker, seems to be a solid citizen, but not a particularly good football player.

His apologists neglect to mention that he essentially plays as a 4-3 DT in the nickel and dime, and...

I may be wrong, but I believe that unused cap money can be rolled over to the next season.

I think signing a veteran offensive lineman - perhaps Caldwell, who visited before - who can backup at...

Not at all. The Cards still paid a ton of money to Kolb and have otherwise invested in the QB position (drafting Lienert). They just have problems from a talent evaluation perspective. They had a...

Look at Larry Fitzgerald. He's arguable one of the top 2-3 WRs from a talent perspective, and the Cardinals are absoulte garbage at the QB position. He could have sulked, demanded a trade or been...

Hines Ward was a leader. You would see him hold others accountable, not bring others down with his wallowing in self pity.

I'd disagree with that. He may not be their biggest problem, but he isn't part of the solution. I remember a game with the Jets getting blown out, and Stonio and Plax sitting together on the...

I read a lot from OTAs suggesting that the Steelers are giving Beachum a lot of reps at center. So they may try to see if Whimper and Beachum can be the two game day actives. Aside from that, they...
