    Not in a 3-4. He would need to gain 30-40 lbs and grow 3-4 inches to have a 3-4 DE's body. He could play DE in a 4-3 (similar in stature to Dwight Freeney), where he would be rushing the passer more and dropping back into coverage less.
    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

        Keisel is about 285 and they said Woodley at one point was in the 270's.

            I agree that in this first year without his services, we are lacking Holmes' vital skill sets and the synergy he had with BB. But I also agree with the sentiments that if we give our three young bucks some time to learn more of the system with some solid game time reps, coupled with some of Hines' work ethic guidance and we could be looking to have a receiving corps second to none. Everyone has sang all of the Stonio accolades, but people fail to remember that Stonio is the other side of the Ted Ginn, Jr. coin. Coming out of college both pretty much had the same dimensions, speed, talent, pedigree, etc... Stonio was integrated into a system where he had a mentor to help him acclimate and a system that required him not to be a savior in a languishing offense. Ginn Jr. was set up for failure because he had the complete opposite circumstances. Stonio has flourished in New York because once again he's asked to be part of a collective of established veterans and brings with him all the years of knowledge he was able to absorb from a great atmosphere of football.
