What would be the first change you'd make on the Steelers?

[crfball]

Cameron Heyward and Ziggy Hood I were extatic about I thought there is Smith and keisel replacement.....disappointing for both if you ask me Keisel still brings it more than Hood, all I ever see Hood do wave to the crowd for noise

I think the Steelers are also giving their players too much of an acclamation period. It seems to me they, more than any other team in the league, have their young players play limited roles as 1st and 2nd year players. The average player is in the league 3.7 years. There is no reason why Worlds is getting snaps ahead of J Jones. They babied Heyward and Hood along for 2 years before they cut them loose. Timmons had to earn time behind foote for 2 years. Other teams are throwing their younger more athletic players to the dogs right out of the gate.

I wasn't happy about those picks at all.

Aaron Smith - 4th Round Pick
Brett Keisel - 7th Rount Pick.

i agree Apk. If you are going to draft them that high, then play them. Otherwise you should have filled a need elsewhere.

Great points about drafting DLinemen.

The defense hasnt actually been bad. Is it perfect? No but it has still been good. About 21 points in last weeks game was off of turnovers. I mean they almost stopped a good chicago team at the 1 yard line 4 straight times. Why haley gets heat is this. Steelers talent is in the wr and qb core. Though in the beginning of games hayley consistently calls 2 running plays to start a drive whicn usually gets about 2-3 yards. When you keep having 3rd and longs because of play calling then you have to blame the play caller. When Pittsburgh has looked best its wh3n they are behind and they put the ball in bens hands go and run the offense. I mean they tied a game down 21 last game against a good team. Combined recodds for those teams are 7-2, they havent played bad teams either

I agree that they should basically abandon the run and just let Ben throw it around unless Bell can get something going. Also, how is Jerico Cotchery still in the league, let alone getting playing time. I might be able to beat him in a foot race and I'm not fast.

[konjo78]

I dont think they should abadon it they just shouldn't run every first two plays on a drive. It just puts offense in a bad position. #FIREHALEY2013

Find out whoever the person is that evaluates and sets the draft board for Seattle and give him the GM job! That's the one move that would help the most. Then find Tanya hardings ex boyfriend and have him take care of Tomlin.

The advantage that Seattle has is they are paying an elite level quarterback $500k a year in a league where elite QBs make $20 Million a year. Colan Cowherd harps on this everyday. This allows them to go out and get 5 very solid players that the rest of the league can't fit in their salary cap. Richard Sherman and Russell Wilson make a combined $2.4 million dollars a year. They are the Seahawks 2 best players. This goes back to the Steelers reluctants to play young players. Pete Carroll found Sherman because he coached against him while at USC.
