Steelers need depth at LB? If the above is true, Foote & Sly start inside with Ivy backing them up. If Worilds can go, Timmons & Worilds start with Carter backing them up. They went with 1 & 1 gameday @ LB but it was the Pats. We all knew nickel would see the field alot so that wasn't a big risk. It is the Ravens now...Will that active number work? Even to complicate things more...Is Worilds 100% and will he play? I hear rumblings they are sniffing for depth. Sniffing could turn into an inhale here if Worilds isn't 100% when they hit the field today. So "WHO" is in & "WHO" is out?
Best choice in?
Sign Thaddeus Gibson off Texans PS.
Given the situation and the guy would get a helmet gameday...Best choice in my opinion. Camp cuts are on the street and who knows if they are in playing shape. I'm sure someone will throw Gholston's name in the hat but the only one out there with knowledge of the system that could play in an emergency & in football shape would be Gibson.
Best choice out?
This is a difficult one. All players have to clear waivers now meaning a team could claim them so there is a risk with a young player. Meredith may be a guy who would clear but I hear they like his upside & there is still injury concerns on the OL. All other names would surely not clear. What veterans make sense? All their contracts are guranteed so that isn't the focus. Essex would clear but given Bronco's injury and he can play C he is a no. Hoke? Posibility. Is he still injured and/or are the stingers are a concern? He may very well get a handshake / wink and asked to come back when healthy if he is still injured. However, if he is healthy I don't expect him to go anywhere. Especially if he could play this week. Front 7 depth very important against the Ravens. So I have one more on my radar that makes alot of sense. Given the health of the position, the performance of the youth at the position, where he sits on the depth chart, and given his 2.6 cap number...He will clear waivers. I think certain players showed against the Pats he is expendable. He also may still be on the street if the desire to get him back after some get healthy at LB.
Release Bryant McFadden.

Flacco has been inconsistent throwing the ball and considering how well our pass D has been, this could very well come down to how we play against the run. With Woodley and Harrison both out, it becomes even more crucial that the D line adjust to the chop blocks from last game and better free up the linebackers to make plays against the run. Lebeau proved against the Pats hes ready to make the necessary adjustments, so I have confidence he will do the same here.
