Steelers like the Sea of Cortez

The Steelers have been looking for ways to get talented rookie corner Cortez Allen into their dime package and may have found it.

They brought safety Ryan Clark off the field at times in the dime in favor or Allen, giving them four corners and Troy Polamalu on the field at the same time.

I really hope that Allen and Brown continue to show they can play. It would be awesome to finally hit on a couple of 3rd and 4th round corners.

especially considering how rookies don't often see the field because of our complex defensive scheme, I would say both Allen and Brown have surpassed expectations and flashed lots of potential for the future.

Dave Lolley is awesome, but 4 corners and one safety is a nickel defense, not a dime. 6 DBs is a dime.

Our dime used to be Ike, Gay, Lewis, Troy, Clark, and Mundy (3 CB, 3 S).

He took out Clark and put in Cortez for 4 CB and 2 S.

Lolley just failed to mention Mundy, I think.

That makes more sense. Dave is my favorite Steelers writer.
