    I'm looking forward to seeing what he can bring to the Titans D and I LOVE the fact it weakens the Steelers.

    Let's not get crazy...losing Al Woods isn't what is weakening the Steelers D-Line...

    It's not like McClendon left.

    As long as they stop the run and use their girth, occupy the o-line and let the LBs clean up...not looking for sacks

    more like fools gold. I see the steelers values defensive linemen like the Saints value offensive linemen. makes no sense about either.

    They are obviously in rebiulding mode, which is sometimes a good move for an aging franchise...With their strong foundation and stability with ownership and the front office, the Steelers are always competitive

    Especially for a traditional team that has a lot of pressure to always be competitive...Just posted a new story on James Starks...Not sure if you've heard...I like him as a possibility to backup Bell and possibly steal some carries from him to keep him fresh to avoid too much of a workload...I'm sure fantasy gurus don't like hearing that statement.

    I saw that yesterday...I like that thought. Lance Moore is visiting too.
