Re: Colts cut Bob Sanders
I would definitely consider bringing Bob Sanders back to Western PA...
He is obviously not an every down player (not even an every game player at this point!!)
but imagine adding Bob Sanders to the Steelers' Dime defense...take Farrior off the field and put Sanders in his place...
The Steelers rarely use a dime defense, but the option becomes MUCH more attractive with a guy like Sanders...he can play the run extremely well and cover the pass better than a James Farrior...if the Steelers used the dime as much as they did the nickel defense, you would give him enough snaps to get your money's worth while not throwing him on the field for so many snaps that he breaks down physically...
So, a revised dime defense would look like this:
DL - Ziggy and Keisel
LB - Woodley, Timmons and Harrison
DB - Taylor, McFadden (?), Gay (?), Clark, Troy and Sanders
With a DB like him available, I would run the dime more than the nickel...
Just a thought...
