POLL BATTLE ROUND 2: (Hood-Mundy-Harris)
This is the 2nd round of the voting to see who BTSC readers vote as who would benefit the Steelers most by getting more playing time.
This is by far scientific, it's just for fun, and if you don't see your favorite player up here (I'm sorry, Burnett fans!) I wish I could help. :)
There's two polls, each containing 3 players that survived the last round. The top two vote getters from last round head up each poll, and rounded out with the other survivors. Their seedings ae listed in parenthesis to the right of their position.
POLL #1:
Evander "Ziggy" Hood - DE - (1). Ryan Mundy - FS - (4). Ra'Shon "Sunny" Harris - DE - (5).
Poll #2:
Mike Wallace - WR - (2). Limas Sweed - WR - (3). Keenan Lewis - CB - (6).
Breakdown of the overall voting from round one:
Hood (92), Wallace (84), Sweed (58), Mundy (48), Harris (35), Lewis (27), Bunrett (24), Foster (16), Urbik (15), Legursky (14), Bailey (8), Hills (2).
Section 1: This bracket saw Hood dominate Lewis and Bailey. Bailey mustered all of two votes...
Section 2: A very close battle between Mundy and Harris, with Ramon Foster being the surprise player to me in the voting. 16 votes was impressive. Not sure if he would have gotten that if he had been in Hood or Wallace's bracket, but noonetheless, nice job.
Section 3: Sweed came back againstBurnett, who had led early. Legursky finished off the voting in this bracket with a respectable 14 votes.
Section 4: Wallace absolutely killed this bracket, taking 84 out of 101 total votes. Urbik, who I thought beforehand would have a higher vote total, finished with just 15, while Tony hills tllied all of 2 votes.

I went Mundy. Harris needs to work on learning the playbook and keeping/improving conditioning and strength.
Ziggy is going to get plenty of playing time, esp. with the latest injuries, I don’t think he needs any more, heck he might start soon.

Try that again...
1) Bailey with a pick 6? Maybe I missed that…
2) I didn’t go with Wallace last time since he was getting the playing time…so I would think Sweed would benefit more than Wallace at this point. Am I looking at this the wrong way?
Phantaskippy makes a great point above with Hood.

MY BAD!!
I had just woken up…that was K. Fox with the pick six. I must have been dreaming of all of our guys on defense getting pick 6’s… :)

You guys are so right on top of tuff, it’s honestly such a blst to be part of a forum of fans that are so well read and intelligent in “football stuff” as the people in this forum.
All things being equal, though, is the key thing to keep a focus on. We all know Wallace is not only playing a ton, but he’s killing it when he does. He just flat out does not look like a rookie, and he’s earning Ben’s trust with every play they work on together. I included him because, gifted or not, getting playing time or not, he deserved to be in the group based on his experience (rookie to 2 years of experience).
As for Hood, I didn’t look at his potential upcoming playing time, necessitated by the injury to A. Smith. Again, the one huge factor is the fact we have needed depth, young depth, on the D-line for a couple years (and that’s being kind). Tomlin is working him in, but as we saw with Rashard, he’s beginning to show us what we spent our moey on. Every single member of Steeler Nation is anxious to see what Ziggy brings on game days.
With all that being said, I haven’t heard anyone ask “What about Mendenhall?” Looking at some of his raw attributes, and quirks like hanging the ball out like the Saturday laundry on a sunny day, I think it’s fair to say he needs more time and more reps to “get it down.”
Like I said before..it’s all in fun, and just a ’Skeet & Giggles" kinda thing. :)

And my $%#@! keyboard needs to be replaced...

In one of Harrison’s sacks, Hood was double teamed, and almost got to Favre (he didi put a hand on him, but Deebo had the sack).

Denver game coming up, how can Clark even consider playing?

Maybe the question should be ...
From which of the following players listed below would the team benefit the most from by giving them more playing time this season?
Regardless, my answer to both is Ziggy.

The title of this
should read……The Steelers would benefit most if which player got more playing time. As it reads the answer is kind of silly. Each and every one of these players would greatly benefit themselves the most by getting more playing time. So…for the player there is no wrong answer…there is no right answer either. They all benefit equally. None are starters so that is obvious.

The title is fine the way it is.
Perhaps you missed the first line of this post:
