that leaves 5 positions open for competetion next year

Diggs has been good, I just don't understand why you guys are already looking for someone to feel the void when he clearly has a couple years left.

I don't get it either. Our LB corps is one of the best in the league, and most importantly we don't need to mess with a group of 3 guys who've been working well together for 3 years now. That is unless Connor shows himself to be extremely capable at Sam, which isn't very likely.

Posts with no grammar or set out are painful.

LCB: Gamble

SS: Harris

FS: Godfry

RCB: Ken Lucas (I'd rather Marshall)

WLB: T. Davis

MLB: Beason

SLB: Diggs (or Connor)

LDE: Brayton

DT: Kemo

DT: Lewis

RDE: Until there's a pick, or a signing: Charles Johnson

I hope you're not talking about me. As for your logic, it's flawed. Connor doesn't have the skills or size to play strong side. If anything, Davis would be moved back to strong side and Connor starts at weak, and to be honest, there would be no point.

Between Diggs and connor there is about 5 pounds difference.

As for his abilities, he was compared to Pousluzny and Morgan coming out and that's high praise, he has the skills to fit any of the three positions, Diggs was playing great football last year. There's no reason no to consider connor as an SLB.

I've never understood the need each season to replace Diggs !!

Seems some want 3 all-star lb's

But after watching over 40 seasons of N F L football,I can't think of many teams that had 3 all-star type lb's playing

I've never understood why a player can not play a positiun B/c they did not play in college

Connor is a rookie to NFL play ,off season weight room s,NFL coaches and trainers .He may be capable of playing any of the LB spots

      Rodgers to Pittsburgh confirmed

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it wouldn't be Rodgers leading them on a postseason run, it would be the defense and he's there to not screw up their great games. Which is why..... This times a million. I didn't watch a ton of the Jets last year, but from what I did see, Rodgers himself didn't look like a bum, the team just struggled and was more than likely due to poor coaching on the whole.  The Steelers don't need MVP level Rodgers to win games, they just need him to be good enough to make some plays when it matters because the defense is keeping them in games every week regardless. In their 7 losses last season, the Steelers scored 10, 13, 17, 17, 17, 19, and 24... while giving up 19, 20, 24, 27, 27, 29, and 34 in those games.  With only marginally better offense last year, they probably end up winning a few more games too. They only scored over 27 points in 3 games last season. I think this is a great move by the Steelers and if Rodgers can stay healthy all year, will get them back into the playoffs and could make some noise if their defense is up to the normal level of a Steelers defense.

      I hope we are as improved as a lot of fans are hoping. However, this time of year everyone in the league thinks they have improved. It will be interesting.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      How many new starters will we have on defense?  That could be a good thing given how bad the D was last year, but it could also take some time for them to gel.
