Also I would argue gilliam was better then bradshaw but heroin and racism killed his chances. Even bradshaw has said he was the better qb

Ok and baltimore only has one good qb and one that has yet to be proven. I thought smith was a 5th round pick and hell I'm not mad at the steelers for taking a look at him from what I've been reading it seems jarrod johnsons shoulder is 100% finally and he is looking pretty good. Some are even saying he may knock batch out but I would rather see lefty go.

Grbak boller smith

Yeah but mostly all the good teams are dancing around the cap hell the steelers are still projected as being over next year. Nothing like last year or the year before though

Yes imagine that a writer who had to quit the indy star before he ever wrote a column because he lied about having a college degree is going to write about being a jerk. Him leaving pacman stallworth cromartie and belicheat off the list and puts ocho in the good guys list makes him a joke.

I wouldn't say best in the league the steelers do a pretty good job of it as well. I don't know they both sound like they want to get paid. If I had to chooe I would go flacco because qbs are harder to find. The thing that would worry be is if they have to franchise him the hit would be over 16 million and that hurts bad.

I agree with you there but we had guys like ben troy ike hampton harrison and timmons do it push the money to when the cap goes up hamton and probably harrison will not be there.

Only gets worse next year

Maybe oz will do what colbert does and restructure a bunch of deals

I think its 2014 when the cap goes up the tv money kicks in next year after the official start of the nfl year so it wont help the cap next year if im remembering what i read correctly

Sounds like trouble to me reed has said 7.5 mill is disrespectful rice will want at least 8 mill a year and then there flacco who wants top 5 money. So its looking like yinz are in trouble becuase you have other free agents and draft picks to sign. Somebody is going to have to go maybe even two of them. Do you franchise flacco and let rice go do you tag rice again andntransition tag flacco and hope no teams think he is worth a first round pick which wont happen to many teams need a qb.

Lincon wasn't supposed to be pitching. He only got called up because mcdonald has a swollen elbow and karstens had a set back on his last rehab start. Back to the heart of our staff. Good game buccos showed heart and didn't give up. I just want 82 wins at this point anything else is just icing on the cake though I do hope we are a thorn in the side of the reds the rest of the year lol

Yeah it is a real shame and and I'm not saying that from a baseball side I'm saying for the humanitarian side. Henever let the fame change him and used it for it good.

I'm a realist we were tied fr first and I believe 9 over at the all star break last but at he end of the yea it was the same old story. This year does have a different feel from last year but I wanna see what happns towards the end of july. Also depends if we can get youkilis at the dead line. He's having a down year and is injury prone but it would be a boost. Its is still fun to watch though. Looking forward to the Os series starting tomorrow.

You mean tied for first with the hottest team in the league right now

Old and slow

Here I will take a raven fans approach but that was an illegal formation that play should hve never happened. Its the refs fault

Well that sucks for the fans

Bad game all around not blaming the injuries because we still should have won but thre was no way we were making any noise in the playoffs. We would have had practice squad guys actually playing on both lines. Bad games happen I'm over it on to next season. Ike taylor played the worst game I have ever seen him play.

Yeah I totatly think you should go away to camp. The team building that goes on there is needed. Also likethe writer said there's no distractions nothing else to do but football.

Yeah and im sure he is going to break the pocket but he did do a good job against the pats this year but that is the only time i really remember that being the game plan. He really seems to have changed and is putting more time in then he ever has so i think he will handle the transition well. Also who really knows what this offense is going to look like.

I think brown can be that possesion guy or sanders and there's always cotch to I'm thinking the 5 that see the field will be wallace brown sanders/cotch like last year and clemons with rainey being the hybrid. I'm very optimistic about our running game with the bruisers we have in red dwyer and clay that will also help out the passing game. This may not be the year but as long as our young corners show up I think we can make a run at number 7. The ravens will be there in the hujnt as well as long as they don't lose aybody else. Its shaping up to be like the steelers at olb last year and losingthat edge rush hurts very badly. We did switch to moe coverage but it killed our run defense. So the question for the ravens from my point of view is do they have enough depth at olb will flacco and rice perform as well when unhappy can your young wrs continue to progress and can lewis and reed continue for a full season without a mojor drop off. Also the oline gelling together. The steelers have a lot of question marks as well like can our young line keep guys off ben and open running lanes can wallace perform unhappy if he doesn't get a long term deal and show that the last half of the season was a fluke can foote step up to farriors level can our corners step up an can ben stay heaealthy. This should be an interesting year.

Yea from what I'm reading haley is switching to almost a pats style offense with a lot of quick rutes and play action. Heath miller said he already see the tes are going to be more involved. The thing that I love about the quick passing game with a guy going deep is the speed on this team we have wallace at 4.33 some say 4.27 now rainey at 4.36 clemons at 4.37 sanders at 4.4 and brwn at 4.46 that's a lot of speed to worry about and can create mismatches all over the place and throw in we are going to be throwing to tes and rbs I'm truely excited about this year. I'm not worried about them learning the new system they are pros. The great thing is its going to be week 6 or 7 before anybody has enoug tape to know what we are trying to do

The nfl better watch out the steelers seem to be extra hungry this year. Hood has been doing work as well there are videos of him dead lifting 700 pounds and dragging a sled of 1210 pounds also there's this http://www.steelersdepot.com/2012/06/the-ziggy-hood-off-season-transformation/ he has dropped 18 pounds of fat and went from 24% to 18 % body fat and gained 20 ponds of muscle. Also big ben looks to be in the best shape he has been in in awhile and troy showing up to ots and rumor has it he is joining ike taylor and tom shaw in forida. If this team stays healthy we are ging to bea force to reaon with once again

I think he will be fine they are going to have two of the dirtiest players in the game on set should be interesting to watch. That should let him and harrison go off about todays nfl.
