    Who goes and what we need.

    Who should go:
    Harrison (age)
    Troy (age)
    Kiesel (age)
    Miller (age, no yards after catch, way too slow for the nfl)
    Mitchell (horrible safety and horrible at pass coverage, the guy's a joke)
    Maybe let go of one of our corners and draft one who can cover

    What we need:
    1 or 2 corners
    1 or 2 safeties
    an outside LB
    a young TE who can run after the catch

      Ike too needs to go. Forgot him. Time to clean house on defense with the old players. Football is a young man's game.

        For some reason I believe Harrison can go another yr.

        Everyone else can go. Heath has another yr in him

          Personally I wouldn't keep Harrison at 37 and I'd definitely draft a TE, Heath has great hands but he is so slow. When's the last time he has broken a tackle.

              You watched that game and deduced Harrison needs to go? You discredit the rest of your post just by posting that, he was one of the few bright spots today.

                He had a very good game, but like I said, he's 37. I agree with what Tunch said after the game about him.

                  They love heath because of his blocking ability - and there may be none better in the NFL with regards to that. But age, cap hit and his tendency to put the ball on the ground over the last few years make it worth a look. not that there are many out there like gronk - but can you imagine what that would do to our offense if we added a TE with speed who can get separation and be a constant threat?

                    I've tried to resist temptation and not post here, but when you criticize Heath Miller....there comes a time. The guy is a top notch team player and although his 40 time has diminished his example has not. Ask LeVeon Bell if he wants Ebron on the end of the line. The standard is the standard because of the flag bearers.

                      He got bullied in pass protection tonight. I don't think I've ever seen Heath play a game as bad as today. I think he's still a fine TE but man that was brutal.

                        Harrison at 37 will perform like Harrison did at 36+. He's a monster. If he stays, he will stay in good shape in the off season, and come in ready to play. On a limited basis...he will be productive again next year. Worilds is likely gone, and we will be razor thin at OLB. You keep him around for another year if he's willing to stay.

                          We have enough data to be confident that Harrison at 37 will be better than Jarvis Jones next year. Jones got "rag dolled" again yesterday. He can't beat even a back up LT like James Hurst.

                              Mitchell's contract actually lends itself to a second season. His cap hit if he's cut after this year is a wash. His salary jumps significantly in 2016, so the Steelers made it a two year tryout, basically.
                              Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.
