Tomlin: Let's unleash hell and "mop the floor" with the competition.
I am not looking forward to that retirement, because the cupboard is bare at corner right now. What kind of numbers would AJ Green and Brandon Marshall have against Cortez Allen? I don't even want to think about it. Ike is only overpaid because the Steelers are losing. If the Steelers were 4-0 everyone would be saying what a deal Taylor is at 10mil per year, but they're losing, so all the high priced players are the problem.

A small point in the debate but I thought Ike had that INT in the endzone. Patterson made a nice play knocking it out of his hands. At least that would have been one TO
I don't necessarily think Ike should be getting 10M per either but it's not like that's a HEINOUS situation of a player being overpaid. I'd also say that holding a guy like Marshall to 5 catches for 52 yards and no touchdowns is pretty damn good considering just how many times Cutler targets Marshall. I'm not exactly sure what you're expecting week after week. He's holding the top receivers to minimal yardage and keeping them out of the endzone, he's also following those receivers all over the field usually running cover zero. How many corners in the NFL even do that these days?
Wait? You are mentioning the play that was Near unstoppable for a corner these days? a 6'4 WR high pointing a ball on the Back shoulder, that can not be touched.
Ikes a tall Corner at 6'2 but there are some things you just can't defend. A perfect ball highpointed on the back shoulder is pretty damn hard to stop, if nigh impossible.
Best scenario I can think of, Might be in relation to the sideline is to try and force him out, and with todays rules. Thats pretty hard to do without getting 5 penalty flags thrown
He gave up 5 catches for 52 yards. (For Reference this is a guy that had 1,500 recieving the year before)
What more do you want out of Ike, I have to ask in coverage. Ints would be nice, but its not like Keenan is a world beater in that stat either. 2 Career ints.
I wouldn't have... You can lookup my posts before the season started and I said Taylor was way overpaid then. Before NO signed Lewis, I said that I would have went forward with Lewis and Allen over Ike and Allen. You get 2 young guys to hold down your CB position for several years instead of a very short term (& high priced) Ike Taylor solution. Now, we're almost forced to spend a premium pick on CB. I wanted to avoid that because we need to address some many areas and I didn't want CB to be one of them.

Dobre Shunkan. Literally translated from Hungarian as "Good Ham," this refers to NFL Hall-of-Fame Outside Linebacker Jack Ham of the Penn State Nittany Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers during the 1970's and early 1980's. It was also the name of his fan club. As a contrast to his teammate Jack Lambert, a.k.a "Dracula in Cleats," Jack Ham's play was decidedly less emotional and more intellectual, albeit equivalently effective.
Whenever Jack Ham caught an interception, the crowd would shout "Dobre Shunka."
