at first I thought "what the hell are they doing"..but man, everybody knows, even your Steeler non-believers know, that they are LOADED at linebackers. Pittsburgh reloads, especially at linebacker after losing big name guys every year..And this year will be no different. James Farrior is the heart and soul of that defense. Then you got guys like Clark Haggans, James Harrison, Larry Foote..and Timmons will be solid. They're gonna be wicked on defense this year. They'll be fine on offense too..theyve stayed injury free the off-season, Big Bens lost 20 lbs and is much more mobile..Losing Jeff Hartings to me, was much bigger than losing Joey Porter, but I panicked when Dermonti Dawson retired too..they'll be just fine. I think they'll go 10-6 or 11-5, somewhere around there...

They will be average! I really think so and think this is the first and last year for Tomlin! I may be way off, but I just think he was a bad hire and getting rid of Porter who is your team leader right off the bat hurts! Kind of puts me into comparison with the Pistons letting Ben Wallace go. Look what it did to that team! He was the glue just like Porter was to the Steelers!
