    Keep in mind he made that switch on the fly. He also started playing better, the whole defense did after that clearing of the air meeting between the players and coaches that Queen spoke of. There was too much gray area and communication issues that they needed to iron out.

    The thinking/hope is having more time to hone his craft there that he will be better this season.

    -- NFC defensive coach on Joey Porter Jr


    Gee, sounds like the type of CB you pay. But I guess the Steelers can wait until his price tag goes north of 40 and then lose him to the Ravens.

    I would think Brisker and Elliot are the two starting safeties. Unless Elliot is still hurt or not ready to start the season. Ramsey at Nickel/slot corner.

    Last I saw Elliott was listed as questionable to start the season

    Then I read this recently

    Elliott declared he is back to form as training camp begins next month.

    I have liked Elliot so far when he is on the field problem is he seems to get hurt often. That starting 5 secondary could be pretty potent if healthy.

    I never met one that wasn't friendly out of at least 30 that I met. Also because many are Catholics they would go to church with me, and my family.
    They are right in between Switzerland, and Austria

    This makes the most sense IMO. In 3 safety looks, Ramsey can play safety and roll Brisker into the box. It also allows us to let Echols and Samuel battle for a dime role.

    On paper, the defense looks better than last season. We got a big upgrade at CB2 and we hopefully won't have to play Ramsey at S full time for large swaths of the season. The real question is going to be how the scheme works. Its a much more modern scheme and will be vastly different than what Tomlin had been running for years. In many ways that is a good thing, but being new it could take a bit of time to get used to.
