For everyone

a reverse with an option to throw or run

I would be most excited if it was the other way around if Farrior was spelling Foote or LT. I think it is time for the nation and the steelers org to realize his time has past him and he is becoming a liability on D. I thought signing an ilb was a priority this off season for said reasons. I loved everything that Jimmy Farrior has brought to the Steelers since his signing. Truley a class act by all means, I hope he can swallow his pride and step aside for the youth of the organization.

that case of Depends in your closet will get used up fast

and I think its reasonable to think that a guy could have an impact in a 4th or 5th receiver spot when he was a 2nd receiver on another team.

And when you are worried about Hines knocking the head off of one of your safteys, or Holmes, and Wallace blowing the top off the coverage, guess who will have plenty of room to run underneath matched up against a lb? He is a good fit.

A slow and small WR that once made a good throw in a SB game. He’s one of the worst punt returners now, no explosion. He loves to go east and west, not north and south. I’m praying he’s your return man all year.

thanks for sharing your opinion!

…than just your elite players. While I understand you guys are pumped up because you finally got a receiver that can produce, but we’ve got three of them already. We had to add depth at both the flanker and punt return positions.

Just harmless fun. Sounds like some people need to take the sticks out of their as*es.

Friends inside the league do that all the time. It’s not disrespect, it’s just a sign of recognition. Besides, you know as well as I do Foote was running his mouth the entire game. That’s what he does. Willie was just ribbing an ex-teammate.

I found it funny myself.

The idea is to win now, not later. We’re not a rebuilding team.

What team has been as successful as us with a young roster? I seem to remember the Pats winning three Super Bowls and almost winning a 4th with a veteran roster. Same thing with the Colts, although they’re starting to get younger.

Give me a team full of veterans.

I don’t think we could have read a more clear “missing the forest through the trees” argument.

So lemme boil this down simply: You want to get younger by not signing veterans, and just using draft picks to lock in our 4th and 5th WRs?

You’re one bad step away from putting a 3-WR set (something the Steelers run very often) in the hands of one rookie and one second year player.

“Veterans know how to prepare for games better than rookies do. It’s just that simple.” – Hines Ward

Did you see how many times we threw last season? You’re ok with a second-year guy and two rookies occupying those roster spots? You conveniently don’t point out Mike Wallace as a rare exception of a rookie receiver making a big impact. You may remember, we spent a second round pick on a receiver with all the physical talent in the world. You should remember him, he’s the guy you said was “at best unreliable.” You want to put the depth of that position solely into the team’s ability to pick up a starting caliber receiver on Day 2 of the draft? A 4th receiver has to be good enough to replace a starter in the likely event of an injury. Did you know this was the first year Santonio Holmes managed to play all 16 games?

I’m glad you’re not in charge.

How many Super Bowls has Arnaz Battle won? You throw out a stat like 11 career receiving touchdowns vs. 7, but winning means nothing? Last I checked, Randle-El played on a lot of very run-heavy Steelers teams, especially at the goal line, but what’s even more ridiculous is the thought that you’re going to find 70 catches, 900 yards and 10 touchdowns at a 4th receiver’s price. Randle-El is a pro’s pro. He works hard, he lives a clean life, and he does everything he can to win. I’m sure he’s sorry his career punt return total isn’t to your liking, but no one’s asking him to be Devin Hester. He won’t even be the main return man, but he’s an option who is good enough of a receiver to dress every game. The fact is, he is more versatile as a football player than Logan is, and decisions on the 48th, 49th and so on spots on the roster are decided by that.

I think the beauty of our spot is that if both of them are gone there will be another talent worthy at a position we need, good OLB, DB, and OL will be there, not all but one or two of those positions. The second round there are some DE and DB’s that will likely be there, and Navarro Bowman just got a workout scheduled and he’s a third round projection. We could see some major youth coming in on defense this year.

I really would love to get Wilson or Thomas, even if Wilson doesn’t fit our system naturally.

I dunno what to tell ya, Limas…this is how the business works. You’re still cheap, the FO is hoping you can take it as a challenge and react to it in a sense of competition. Or, he can just use the facilities to continue working out, and bide his time for when he gets released. We’re hoping to get a seventh-round pick in 2013, and considering we now have five receivers on the roster without him, I’m sure that’s the best we could get.

I’m sure we’d rather trade him out of the division, cuz you know full-well Cincinnati is circling him like the castoff pirahnas they are. He’ll have a contract offer from them about 45 seconds after the ink dries on his release papers.

makes my eyes rain.

it’s going to be a great season this year indeed
