Yes to these, and add Larry Grant from the 49'ers. He is a younger version of Foote and played very well when called on to start last year for Patrick Willis.

I saw Brandon Jacobs was released by the 49ers. With our RB situation, is he worth taking a look at?

They are heading into the playoffs and cut this guy loose right beforehand...shows you what they think of him. No thanks.

I know he's been fairly vocal about his unhappiness in SF. I don't expect many on the board to be keen on the idea of giving him a look. I was big on him coming out of college, and at this point and looking at all possible RB options to try and fix our RB situation.

[D Rock]

Tracy Porter. Absolutely. Getting him after an injury filled year could be a great value. If he can come cheap enough that will give great flexibility in figuring out what to do with Lewis and Taylor.

I would add Rey Maualuga to this list.

I think Larry Grant would be a low-level but effective Steeler-type addition...

Hell No! No one does less with more athleticism than this guy.

Not a world beater, but very much in Larry Foote's league and is much better in coverage. Replace a Larry with a Larry.

You can't have two Larrys. You can only have a Larry and two Darryls.

And, yes, I just made a way-outdated 1980's Newhart joke. So sue me.

No way. He has always been overrated to begin with and now he isn't even what he once was. There is a reason SF dumped him; he isn't effective anymore. He once had some decent speed with his immense size. Now, all he has is immense size, with no speed which equates to a tackling dummy who stands up for a while as 5 defenders hit him. Kind of like the entire career of Ron Dayne. Just say no to BJs. There is also a reason Coughlin didn't try to keep him in NY. As I said in another thread, huge backs are only good for a few seasons, other than Bettis, who is the all-time exception of a big back with longevity.

[Dee Dub]

Hell No! No one does less with more athleticism than this guy.

All I know is that he has improved every year he has been in the league and he is coming off a 120 tackle season, which is more than any one on the Steelers. And I believe in the Steeler defense (3-4 where he is better suited), with coach Lebeau, he would be even better.

This guy is pillow soft and has next to no instincts. No thank you.

QB-Matt Moore - Yes, underrated back up who can win games.

RB-Mike Goodson - Yes, a pretty versatile big back who produces.

WR-Devery Henderson - Not sure I would pay much for him. Draft pick cheaper and as good.

TE-Ben Watson - Too old for my tastes. But I'd take him over freaking Pope, for sure.

OL-Phil Loadholt - Guy is massive. Would love him but will be too pricey for Pgh's tastes.

DB-Tracy Porter - Good player, will be too rich for Pgh's tastes.
