I personally wouldnt be suprised if they trade him (big ben) but this is definately a season of uncertainty so it doesnt bode well I am sure.

Examples need to be made of those who that laws and rules weren't made for them. It may take a few seasons, but the Steelers will be winners again someday. Ben doesn't realize how lucky he is right now to not have charges filed against him. Next time, I don't think he will be so lucky...
Originally Posted By oredisneyfan Agreed.

Wallace will be a fine replacement for Holmes and I am looking forward to seeing what Dixon will do given the chance to vie for the starting job. I see they took linebackers and some big Olinemen in the draft so I am thinking running game and a quick defense. Maybe not the most exciting to watch but it works

Originally Posted By oredisneyfan Labuda you have a point. Last year we really noticed how much he (Troy) means to theat defense, I mean he basically is that defense. I see we signed a couple of past players, Randle El....meh, he could help our awful return game, but he is no spring chicken. McFadden back at corner makes me happy though, our backs were less than impressive last year and I always thought Mcfadden had potential. I know the networks love the passing game but I am hoping with Ben out we can get our ground game back on track.

Originally Posted By brotherdave I hope it's Batch, too. It would be nice to see a hometown boy guide the Steelers (besides, Charlie and I went to the same high school!).
