      Great to follow up St. Valentine's Day with St. LeBeau's Day!!!

      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.

        Well, that is good news. I hope Butler stays on as well for another go round this upcoming year. The defense should be as good or better next year. Hopefully, a good secondary coach (I'm only hoping for a good coach, not saying Horton was bad) that can be the final piece of the defensive coaching staff.

                Anyone want to bet that if there is a season in 2011 that BMac is starting opposite Ike at CB, or GULP, if Ike leaves via free agency we have BMac starting with Gay & Crezdon competing in camp for the other CB spots (starter/nickel).

                  Butler is too young to start. He will likely still be in double secret probation until he is 25.

                  If Ike leaves plan on being 8-8.

                    Thats what I am thinking. One of the top CB could drop to 31 and if we took him BMac would still start over him. Pretty ridiculous. Blows my mind even more considering Tomlin was a former DC and DB coach.

                      As much as I like Woodley, I'd much rather see the tag placed on Ike. You can find linebackers quicker to fill the voids than a really good corner. I think Ike was a number four pick and what a deal/blessing we got with that pick.
