Jadeveon Clowney..We might have a chance...

[NJ-STEELER]

yes, thats who we need. another DE. we can even get our 1st rounder from 2 years ago into the starting line up

all while the offensive keeps stinking it up. lol

[Oviedo]

I was being sarcastic! The Steelers may spend right at the Cap. But, they are not ones to back haul deals like the Skins owner does, or Jerry Jones does. We might have to start doing that with larger signing bonuses, so we can maybe sign a elite OT or two.

And what exactly have the Cowboys or Redskins accomplished in this century?

I'll stick with the Rooney's way of doing things.

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

Can you name me one 1st round defensive player that has sat for 2 years under LeBeau? Just one.

Cam Heyward

[Mister Pittsburgh]

Banging my head on the wall last night about this. Even mentioned in the game chat. We all saw what Suishy did last year and can do this year. Don't need to have Warren practice snapping for him to kick FG's. Wasted the perfect opportunity to see what they could do on a 4th down. Strange not to go for it.

Makes ZERO sense and reminds me of most of Tomlin's 'in game' "thinking".

In fairness, we did have a punt blocked last week. So the ST does need a little work. It's not that the snapper, holder, kicker need work. It's the other 8 guys blocking for the kick that need the practice.

It won't matter, in DL system he will sit his first two years anyway.
And we will still me number 1 in defense and last at where it really counts.

sigh....

The Steelers ranked #5 in scoring defense last season. Last I checked, that's the category that really counts.

I agree ... but #5 is pretty damn good. Especially if you take into account the points given up through interceptions and special teams.

Cam Heyward

Nope. He played his rookie year and last year. He can't beat out Keisel or Hood out but he still plays.

[NJ-STEELER]

you realize that "sat" usually means not starting... right?

[ikestops85]

That's not my definition. I think "sat" means you only play special teams or not at all. If you are rotated into the defense I don't think you "sat".

well, that might be so. but how often was heyward rotated in?? there were games he barely got 5 snaps last year.

rotated in would be someone like timmons who despite not starting his first 2 years still saw plenty of snaps especially on passing downs

with the defense being #1 again last year and near the top the last several years, do you think we maybe could have helped the offense a bit more? considering it struggled as much as the defense has excelled then having someone go in there for 5 snaps a game?

Yup we will no doubt be "last place where it counts"......

Thirty two in DRAFT CHOICE position!!!! Go Steelers.

[Sword]

so...we are closer to getting Number 1 draft.....

...but we still wouldn't take Clowney because he doesn't "fit" what LeBeau likes

[Sugar]

I wouldn't take Clowney because I don't want him or anyone on that side of the ball at #1. The Defense isn't the problem here.
