Sorry, couldn't resist.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
As I remember it, there were other CB's there too. Like Jim said, Hall is a 2nd teamer. Ain't too shabby for a CB.
I'd make that trade any day. Timmons for Hall. As long as Foote would've stayed. But hey, this is a 'ridiculous' thread so why talk about it.
6- Time Super Bowl Champions......

2012 MNF Executive Champion
We didn't pass on Revis... I don't understand the Timmons hate either. I don't buy the "even if Revis was there" we take Timmons. People can say anything about what they woulda done when there is no woulda to hold them to...
I lost a bet about Najee gaining 1300 yards.
"Our head coach has failed to win a playoff game for seven years in a row. 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"
as mentioned hall and even aaron ross went a few picks later (along with 2 safties).
so there were plenty of secondary help still available if they were interested in taking a corner.
dont forget we just released porter ,had very average clark haggans on the other side, and supeer sub harrison going into his 1st season as a starter
We play a 3-4 and OLB's are super important in our D. Timmons still might be the best OLB we have.
I wouldn't be surprised in a couple years if Timmons and Woodley are the best pair of 3-4 OLBs ever seen. It's time to aknowledge, James Harrison has one move and is limited. It's time to make way for LT on the outside. No one in the league has Timmons burst. Not even Dwight Freeney who's probably the closest.
Timmons could be lethal off the edge. But Harrison had a great season and mucked up the plans.
If we really wanna talk "why didn't we", why didn't we take Marino in '83?
We'd be on our Stairway to Nine right now (not Seven).
I wasn't hired for my disposition.
I assume you mean David Harris. But David Little was a solid ILB in his own right once upon a time...Originally Posted by SidSmythe
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
It was his first year as starter. I thought he played pretty well. He is an OLB and he had to convert into ILB. He is still very young.Originally Posted by SteelAbility
You may want to check 2007 Draft and the players taken in Rd 1:
1- J Russell --- Bust

10 - Amobi Okoye - Bust

13 - A Carriker -- Pitt Live Board Fav.--- Bust

Harrison did not have just one good year. In his 3 seasons as a starter, he has 278 tackles, 34.5 sacks, 8 passes defensed, 2 interceptions, and 19 forced fumbles.Originally Posted by flippy
Find me another linebacker who has had a 3 year stretch that impressive, aside from the other guy named Lawrence T. (and I'm not talking about Timmons).
