    Re: Switch Troy to CB

    Lake was able to move from SS to CB successfully once upon a time when Woodson was hurt? Move Troy there now!

    Faneca was able to move from LG to LT successfully once upon a time when Marvel was hurt? Move Kemo there now!

    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.

        I know we are half kidding, but Troy is too darn explosive and versatile on the field to be moved to a CB position where he would be tied up with only a few responsibilities.

        Carnell Lake was good but he didn't have quite the range and closing speed Troy has. Carnell was also helped by a defense that BLITZED so much more which helped coverage immensely.

            Carnell Lake's closing speed did not take a backseat to Polamalu. I watched him through college (UCLA), and he was as explosive an athlete as you can pretty much get. And his conversion that year was probably the most unbelievably seamless in team history (Faneca's play at LT was #2). IMO, the main differences between Lake and Polamalu are on-the-field instincts (edge Polamalu), and hands (Lake didn't have bad hands by any means, but Troy has very good hands) for the INT.
            I wasn't hired for my disposition.

                No way Carnell had the closing speed of a Polamalu. But perhaps relatively speaking for the time he played.

                Lake was an exceptional athlete. He played half his career at UCLA at linebacker.
