    If Bmac wants 6 years for $50M then I say see ya later.

    The improvement in the pass rush this year has made all the DBs look better.

    Use some of that money to extend Woodley now before he has an insane season and prices himself out of the market.

    Good plan, and the observation about our OL this year. If we can keep our pass rush up, we can have good (not great) corners on our team and be just fine.

    Don't forget also that we have Roy Lewis (CB) and Ryan Mundy (S) on the practice squad. Both were real close to making the 53 man roster and I think this staff is more commited to developing young players versus getting one that can step in or holding on to one too long.

    Our entire secondary has IMO improved since Tomlin came in and Ray Horton took over DBs.

    you let him go.... Gay is more then capable... and McFadden actually looked worse since he returned IMO. Maybe it's because he wasn't up to game speed but unless it's reasonable you have to let him go....

His game day strategy, culture of divas, in game decisions, clock management, player evaluation, hires, and affinity with sub par starters at RB, P, and OL are holding the Steelers back. That standard remains the standard"

    i think the play of William Gay has brought the urgency to sing Bmac down a tad.

    yep.. sucks for BMac but his injury showed that Gay is solid and with our LB's.... maybe our DB's are pretty solid regardless.

    He and Nate should have been re-signed this past offseason... I think not re-signing both were mistakes. Said it then and repeating it now.

    Re: McFadden's Contract Discussion

    The organization will probably like to resign him for the right price. They cannot afford to get into a bidding war with larger market teams in this tough economic time. Think they managed their money closely before? It might get even worse. We might even see a day when the salary capp drops, players have to take pay cuts, renegotiate contracts or get cut. Few teams can afford to over pay for Bmac. Depends on what those teams need and where they want to spend money. It could work in the Steelers favor. I doubt the Steelers over pay him. All mid level FA's might be in for a rude awakening come contract time for several reasons.
