Bye bye k. Lewis

But wasn't Dick LeBeau a former DB coach also? Why does Carnell Lake get all the credit?

Maybe it's because Lake actually does some COACHING, where all LeBeau does now is COASTING.

Dom Capers when he ran our defense had no problems playing young players early.

LeBeau? Hardly ever.

It's not the scheme, it's the mindset of the coaches running it.

and look how well Capers is doing ... Packer fans want to run him out of town on a rail. His defense is horrible ... do you know how many times it allows the opponent to go score right after the Packers get a TD? Lots.

Just more proof that you can't really evaluate a draft until a few years later. I remember, following that 2008 draft, how many of us thought the Steelers had done a tremendous job...

I was extremely happy with last year's draft, and now, well, we don't KNOW yet but it already is much worse than all of us thought after the 2012 draft. DD and Adams could still be good, but Spense and Rainey look unlikely to offer us anything and T'amu isn't likely to turn out either. I thought all picks 1-5 were great, and now we are left hoping that we get just 2 decent players out of those 5, if we are lucky.

Yes. But the young players sitting for LeBeau has been going on BEFORE Tomlin got here. It's a pathetic trait that he and Cowher share.

Pathetic and FAIL. It is embarrassing how Tricky Dick never gets young players on the field. FAIL.

They are idiots. Their defense makes plays. I'll gladly give up some yardage rankings for some turnovers. Charles Woodson was supposed to be finished when Green Bay got him. Capers and the way he used him saved his career.

Fail???????


LeBeau orchestrated a defense that has ranked in the top five of the league in 10 of his 11 seasons as defensive coordinator.

Now give that man a Miller ^^^^

He is still FAIL when it comes to getting production from younger players, often losing them after just getting 1 year out of them like he did with Lewis.

Same with Jason W...he might have 10 sack season and Steelers won't have enough dough to sign him...Now Cam heyward could also be in a similar situation...

I have not seen anything from Cam yet..but he could have a breakout season during last year of his rookie contract..and boom he is gone...no money to sign him...

Dick Lebeau has to start playing his players in rookie contracts else whats the point drafting them so high...

really? players leave after 1 good year, and it happens often?

I'd love for you to back that claim up.
