Maybe IKE's repaired forearm will be able to magically catch balls now.
Kinda like the kid in Rookie of the Year. When his ligaments healed he could throw a ball really hard??

No BS here. But Monday night Texans game Ike and others were on the field early. He was catching passes with one hand the other still in a brace! I tried to get a picture but could not before they moved on. He did drop one that I seen. LOL. Of course I was shocked when I realized it was Ike catching one handed passes. But there was no pressure to do so.
World of difference between catching a pass you are anticipating vs one you're not sure of is coming.
I'm an Ike fan and have always been one. Maybe this is the time to begin unwinding his role in the secondary? He likely won't be back next season, so the Steelers have 7 more games to get evaluation on the other guys. This could decide at what point in the draft they take a CB.
It's not Ike's inability to make a pick that makes me a little uncomfortable, as frustrating as it is to see that happen over and over. It's that, at least in my mind eye, he seemed to be collecting more and more "1st down at the spot of the penalty" fouls before he got hurt, seemed like he was getting toasted more and more. It was like the opposing QBs were almost just chucking it to his side knowing they'd get huge yardage whether it was a completion or not.
I'd be surprised if Ike didn't step right back in where he was before, but I guess I have at least mixed feelings about that.
We got our "6-PACK" - time to work on a CASE!
HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!
