Reports On Sweed Are Good

Re: Reports On Sweed Are Good

We watched Bettis' game decline. He wasn't the same at the end, but he still held a valuable role on the team. I foresee something similar from Hines over the next few seasons (hopefully it is gradual). He may not catch as many balls as we are used to in the coming seasons as Sweed and Wallace progress, but he will still deliver a slobberknocker with the best of them and will be a tremendous leader for the young guys to look up to (making them blue collar WR's instead of prima donna WR's).

I don't think we even go to the 'Bowl without Bettis in his last year. He was such a huge motivation factor for the team. This is the difference between a team like the Steelers and one like the Browns or Detroit. A balance of veteran leadership and youthful stud athletes. I am truly amazed at the FO's ability to maintain this balance throughout the onset of free agency.
