    I know we don't.
    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

        I mean, if you wanted to play a 4-3 that looks like a 3-4, a la Seattle, you could use Heyward and Jarvis Jones, I suppose...
        Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

            yes, Taylor Lewan looked really good last night.

            who was the poster on here who said he would never be a good starting NFL tackle?

                    Nope. The 1 time Worilds got the edge his feet slipped out from under him. Another time he got 1 on 1 with a RB (about his only chance outside of a stunt to get to the QB) he got up ended.

                    Someone got to the QB on the hitch and go by Nate Washington a second late but 5 dollars short.

                        No, wasted money would have been signing him long term. If this plays out as we all suspect it will, then this is exactly how a team uses the franchise tag to its advantage.
                        Do you mean the transition tag? There's no way we'll franchise him next year after this year's production.

                        Looks like we're drafting another OLB, unless Worilds takes a major pay cut or someone changes positions.

                            Yes, whichever tag that was used on him this year. No long term money tied up, clean break after this season, or negotiate a long term contract with him under a new paradigm - him as a backup caliber player with a chance to start - 4 year, $16M, with a low SB. Far from the $9M+ he was trying to command in the off-season.

                                Gotcha and agreed. I actually thought this was a pretty smart move by the FO. Short term pain on his salary this year, long term gain to avoid another Woodley situation. I do hope they try to bring him back - he knows the system and has flashes of good play now and then - but around the price you noted.

                                    theres no way worilds will be regarded again as a top OLB free agent.

                                    They should be able to sign him reasonably, but i give it 50/50 if hes allowed to test free agency
