Re: USA Today: Pittsburgh Steelers Team Report

SS Tyrone Carter won't get a contract from the Steelers again unless hell freezes over.

Glad someone else feels the same way I do...

Heh, I'm not sure I agree with that statement. You mean to tell me if theres an injury or two at safety in the middle of the season they won't call Tyrone Carter? The guy has spent years in the Steelers defense and can play both safety positions, I'd imagine he'd be the first person called. Sure he has seen better days, but in an emergency...

i would rather the Steelers bring Carnell Lake out of retirement than bring Tyrone Carter back.

Why was he so terrible besides the fact that he is not Troy Polamalu? I don't think he can be blamed for all the Steelers secondary problems last year, the dude even won a defensive player of the week award.

by no means was TC the cause of all of the Steelers' secondary problems last year, there was plenty of blame to go around (Gay, Ratliff, Mundy, Burnett, etc.)

i just think that at this point of his career TC is more of a liability than a solution.

Obviously he wouldn't be an ideal solution when we have guys like Clark and Polamalu. But this guy who wrote the article saying hell would freeze over before he got resigned is just absurd. In the rather likely event of serious injuries, Carter is probably our best free agent option.

Re: USA Today: Pittsburgh Steelers Team Report

Dwyer could be the "steal" of the entire draft if he can learn the playbook and adjust to the scheme.

I think we have to hope that Emmanuel Sanders can have something close to a Mike Wallace-like rookie season or we have serious concerns at WR.

I watched Brady make due with very little early in his career. I believe Ben can do the same. Ward, Wallace, Battle, ARE, Miller and Sanders should be more than enough for Ben to do his work. I'm not concerned about WR in the slightest.

I agree. No different than what Flacco has in Baltimore where they have lacked a dominating outside WR for many seasons. You have to play the cards you are dealt. And I think this is a prime opportunity with Ben out and thin WR corps to get back to a power running game. Believe me, there is no way Ben will argue the point when he returns. He knows he will have to swallow some pride considering his current status with the Steelers management.
