Way different scenario. Plex left as a free agent. OK. Nothing to get angry about; he got more $ than Pgh would pay him. It's just business. Holmes was traded for a cup of warm urine as the Rooneys were enraged he was still hitting the lettuce, at a time when Ben already brought disgrace to the franchise and city. If they reversed course on Holmes, what signal would it send? I don't see there being even the slightest chance of it. None. Why Ike doesn't grasp that, I have no idea.
Great post. The Steelers are one pulled hamstring away from Chris Carter seeing snaps at OLB. Harrison adds depth and experience, and also gives the Steelers a player to rotate. Everybody loves talking about Seattle and their corners, while ignoring that Seattle, like many of the successful Giants defenses of recent vintage, rotates guys up front. Give James some snaps against the run, keeping Worilds and Jones fresher to rush the passer. I can also imagine a 2-5-4 in some packages with Worilds, Jones, Harrison, Timmons and Shazier.
What signal does it send?? Why do you care so much about this so called message. Put the best guys out on the field who give this team the best chance to win games and ultimately championships. I am not here saying I am pulling for stonio to the point that I'm excited, however if he were to come back and shows he has matured and is still in shape, I would be al for it.
Hittin' the lettuce.
Come on that's funny.
Trolls are people too.
Cmon lets bring Holmes back if not just for his veteran presence and leadership but for the 15 games and 2 TD's he has the last 2 seasons
How is Holmes situation worse than Burress? Just because Holmes committed a misdemeanor as a Steeler, while Burress was never convicted of a felony (with presumptive prison time) while a Steeler? There is no logic to the two situations. Booting Holmes and bring back Burress are both bad decisions. Completely inconsistent, if nothing else.
