True... but he would have thought twice if we offered him starter money.

Not sure if Ike is done but he has been on a decline for the last few years. Who knows how it goes down if we moved on in 2012. To Ike's credit he took a huge pay cut but honestly, I often wonder what we would look like if we cut older vets a little sooner.

What if we went 12-4, 5-11, 7-9... and had young corners and young DL with 2 years in our system to start this year?

Just wondering

If the Steelers went 5-11 and 7-9 the fans would have wanted Tomlin gone even more than they do now, we'd be talking about trading Ben to rebuild from the ground up, Haley would be vilified (even more than now) and D1ck Lebeau would be beyond a fossil. Look at what some fans think after back to back 8-8 seasons.

I'm liking this very much as a desktop.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see our running game doing a lot in this one. I'm just not comfortable with our run blocking at all. Early screens to slow down their front seven would be beneficial. I do think that our backs can and will make an impact catching the ball in the passing game. We're gonna need to use some bunch formations and get some rubs on their DB's to clear some routes. If we can take their TE out of this game and limit their run game on early downs, we may get to the QB a few times. Hopefully, if Johnny Hype gets on the field, they'll straight up spy him with Shazier to eleminate his running. Steelers 27-13.

Aren't you glad you were wrong? 1st game, 1st 100 yds.

Oh, and as I predicted, Joe Haden was again owned by A Brown. In fact, Joe Haden was owned by Bell on at least one running play where he faked him out of his jock. And the best part?, the Browns are paying Haden a ton of money to be owned by the Steelers twice a year.
