Lake: Our CBs are all playing well

[Mr.wizard]

I don't really care about the yardage, as long as we don't give up td's and take the ball away I would say we are playing well.

[SteelCrazy]

The CBs are doing as they're told to do. Play off, give up some sh!t and don't break. When your CBs suck, this is what u have to do. Well, they don't suck, but they are far from playing on islands. I'd love to see what Boykin could do, but we'll probably not see him much.

This is how it has almost always been for this defense since 1991...with the exception of when we had Rod Woodson, our CBs have played off in predominantly zone schemes. Ike Taylor was able to use his athleticism to develop good coverage skills, but he had zero ball skills. Golson may be the guy who is a fit for this D who has some real ball skills.

this safety looks like he was born to be a Steeler.....

Tomlin always raves about him. He could be the rare DB who is already age 30 that we'd be willing to sign and get a good 3 years out of.

Unfortunately, there will likely be other teams who will be willing to dole out some big $$$s to sign him. Not sure the Steelers will want to get into that kind of a spending competition.
