    We've GOT to protect Ben. Doesn't matter what we do with our corners, or OLB, or RB - if Ben is on the Bench, our record will be about the same as last year's, and our chances of getting into the playoffs about the same also.

    Steeler Priorities (IMO)

    1. Keep Ben upright.
    2. Give him targets.
    3. Everything else.
    We have to protect Ben but to some that means under no circumstance do we use another Round 1 pick on an offensive lineman.

    No, #1 has to be scoring points. You can't keep Ben "upright" by simply handing the ball off and trying to limit the hits he takes.

    When you do that? That leaves him in predictable situations, and then he'll get hit.
    OK, you got through the 1st bullet point OK!

    There's a reason for the 2nd bullet point ... and it's not to be "simply handing the ball off"!

    I'm a simple guy with simple ideas. If I were GM, I would spend the whole wad if it was needed to have Ben be effective.


    San Antonio Math (apologies to Ghetto Scott):

    1. Lots of Ben throwing to the targets we already have on the roster
    + Even a mediocre defense in this league
    -----------------------------------------
    Playoffs

    2. Wishy washy committments to Ben's success
    + "We gotta spend money on defensive replacements for x,y.z" (or) "We gotta get a quality RB"
    -----------------------------------------
    Great draft pick in 2014.

    We got our "6-PACK" - time to work on a CASE!

    If 31 other teams are passing on Harrison maybe we should ask ourseleves WHY DO WE want to turn back the clock?

    Oh, I forgot he knows the defense.

    Which Lawrence Timmons would you prefer? The guy that was invisible for three games or the guy that played well the rest of the year. Want to guess what the variable was?

    LeBeau wasn't wasting him in deep middle pass coverage covering air.

    Who's calling the defense?

    Watch Timmons' role in the beginning of the season.

    Then watch the Eagles game.

    Notice the difference in where he is on the field.

    I thought coverage was supposed to be his strength.
