william gay back with steelers

http://www.post-gazette.com/stories...y-appears-to-be-returning-to-steelers-677772/

i know i post this already but middle of article mention something intrested regarding keenan lewis

 

I have very mixed emotions on this signing. Hated him when he was here but was showing some signs of improvement his last season with us. Not hard to do when the only way to go was up.
So, now Arizona is the place for washed up Steelers to go to in order to try and hone their skils for redemption?

 

we did the same mistake with mc fadden , i can understand we have no money but through it into the garbage for gay ..no

 

I don't think William Gay is as bad as everyone makes him out to be. He is still young at only 28. He really is a great Nickel Corner, plays the Nickel very well. He can fill in as a starter, to provide depth at corner. He shouldn't start over Taylor, Lewis, or Allen. But, he can start if called upon. He can help out special teams. If he comes on the cheap, I say sign him.

 

Waste of money the Steelers dont even have. They need to get a deal with Lewis done!

 

as a 4cb yes but we are talking as a 3rd

 

As long as Gay is hired (and paid) for CB depth, I'm fine with that. The problem was when the Steelers tried pushing him into a starter's role.

Can someone mention the general area where his house is? If it is the NW Pittsburgh suburbs, then there is still a chance that he is signing with the Browns instead, as it wouldn't be too far of a drive.

 

From the article: Gay has changed his Twitter account information to label himself a "cornerback of the Pittsburgh Steelers."
​

 

I would like to give an advance "you're welcome" to every qb that is scheduled to play the Pittsburgh Steelers in the coming year.

 

Plegase tell me it's not true. What's next, an extension to Josh Victorian???

Waste of money.

 

He won't be the third if we sign Lewis he will be the fourth. I think Lebeau likes him because of his abilityto blitz. For depth purposesi will take him

 

Also who knows if he even makes it out of training camp.

 

If we can't sign Lewis we are going to need someone to immediately fill the void, and Gays last season here was arguably his best season. I was never a fan of his and was glad when we let him go but he does know the system and can see field time right away if needed. Now let's hope he's not "needed".

Edit: And no i didn't mean I would want Gay replacing Lewis at the #1 or 2 spot, just that we'll need the depth if Lewis is gone.

 

I agree with everyone talking about his ability to play the run. But what's to stop every qb that sees him on the field just calling an audible and going to a pass play? Couldn't this happen and get us torched?

 

I just get tired of having players, cutting them, and then bringing them back. Maybe Im still pissy from this past season, but I just dont really love this signing at all.

 

It seems that signing Gay means we'll let K Lewis walk.

And after this, I wonder what does Lewis' comments last week mean now:

I don't think has any impact on Lewis I think this has more to do with brown.

 

If it works the way I'm hoping, this means that we probably have the best dime back in the league, while still getting a comp pick for him leaving last season

 

Best dime back in the league meaning Gay??? Not sure I would use that to describe Gay, but thats just me.

 

i would. he's better then brown has ever shown day 1. good signing for the money. allen move to the #1 spot, ike to the #2 spot and gay as the nickle. i'd take that any day.

 

I'm assuming that you think we're losing lewis

 

Where do you get that from?
