Steeler Nation in Spain
Remember NT is the hardest position to find on a 3-4 DL and keeping three would provide the ability to trade in the future. Also keep in mind they have discussed McLendon having the ability to move to DE. That is great flexibility if both Kiesel and Hood leave next year.
Williams and Arnfelt need to go to the PS.

I'm not saying he is totally void of talent, but I might consider trading Ziggy Hood. It appears to me that Ziggy is best suited for a 4-man DL. He just seems to me..( At times )...Ziggy looks disinterested in a 3-4 set. He knows he usually an't accumulate statistis playing in that type of formation. And Ziigy looks like a guy who WANTS Stats!! I feel Woods has shown more then enough to man that spot. But, I also think Ziggy has more trade value to a teams that does play a 4-3 defense, and who are thin at D-Linemen. I would rather try to deal Ziggy now, then have to just let him walk away, and we get nothing for him.
That's my main point exactly. I mean Hood is in his final year of his 5 year deal. And, unless the Steelers vastly over pay him, why would Hood stay in a system he probably doesn't like all that much ? And there is little chance the Steelers franchise tag him after this season, guaranteeing him top-5 DE money. So even if we take a loss, I might deal him. Especially if the Steelers think that either Woods or Mclemdon can fill the void.
Fagupo looks more like a NT than McClendon, Ta'amu, or Woods. I think Woods and McClendon have positional flexibility and can play DE, so maybe it opens a spot for one other NT on the roster and maybe we can stash the other on the practice squad. It's hard to tell much about the NTs at practice when the players aren't in pads.
