Think Ben was hard to get down last year? This year he's gonna embarrass every secondary he faces. What team is going to be able to cover all the speedsters at WR this year long enough when Ben doesn't have to run for his life? He's gonna relentlessly pick secondaries apart. And the D is going to be better with a lot more speed. If Spence can hold his own, not be a world beater, just do his job, year'll be a glorious year......The Stairway to Seven The O line went from the teams weakness to arguably the strongest unit on the field.

I can't remember us ever having an LOT with a 1st round grade. Clearly, this still requires work, but the talent level of the OL is as high as I've ever seen it. Now they have to live up to their potential. That’s the kind of vision the Steelers need now! I can’t remember us ever having an LOT with a 1st round grade.

From an average of 23 points per game to 20.3 points per game. If Haley can get that average back up to 23 or more points per game and our defense can just maintain we will win more games and be in much better shape when closing out a game.

Our offensive line has been one of the worse in the NFL.  I am VERY HAPPY the WOKE UP and realized Ben needs protection or he will get killed.  There also is a reason we have not been as good running the ball.....They can't block.  Tom Brady gets all the credit in NE.  BUT....If Ben had an hour to throw the ball like Brady does he would stay healthy and be even better rather than running for his life.  If Brady had had our line....he would be mediocre at best.  Proof in his horrible games when he gets any kind of pressure at all he chokes.  Thank god he is not here.  Good job in the draft......FINALLY.  Keep drafting lineman.........

Allen is a great special teamer. He is a very important part to what we do on kick coverage. with the loss of Arnaz Battle we probably wont let Allen go. It was Rolle or Allen.
