    Well I hope the usual starters can get healthy for next year. I'm intrested in seeing if any new guys step up this week. This would be the chance for a backup to step from the shadows and make this team next year.

    http://www.steelersdepot.com/2012/12/steelers-sign-gilreath-place-wallace-brown-adams-on-ir/

    And they put Wallace, Adams and C. Brown on IR and promoted Gilreath and Ta'amu.

    No surprise here...these 3 were ruled out...so why not bring up a couple healthy bodies...even if they dont dress...this way no other team can steal them during the playoffs/etc.

    So they have 1 more open spot...wonder who fills it...Walter McFadden the DB on the PS? He was the only other guy currently on the PS who was with the team earlier this year. The rest were all additions during the year. Or do they bring in someone off the street (or that has been with the team before that they liked)?

    I remember a lot of people wanting them to get Fangupo. Who knows maybe he'll turn into something...even if he's a backup.

    And yes mac...for the last game of the regular season he was put on IR last year too.

    You are correct. He went on IR last year and had to have knee surgery.

    I like what I have seen from Hebron fangupo. If he picks up mclendons work ethic he has potential. I think this is a sign that snack is gone.

    Fangupo was my boy in the draft...he was who I had as a late rounder coming in...not realizing Ta'amu would still be around.

    McClendon, Ta'amu and Fangupo are a good group...with or without Snack in 2013.
