ike is in town.http://www.steelersdepot.com/2014/06/steelers-cb-ike-taylor-pushed-breaking-point-offseason/

sounds like ike will be ready to go. I'm sure it will be no big deal for troy and that's not the point, the rest of the newbies have to get used to troy. no biggy, it's not the first that he's missed, but it is the first with so many new faces on defense.

Good for Ike. Sounds like he's killing it.

"I am working more on explosiveness. Coach Shaw has gone back to the old school New Orleans workouts, you have to pass out before you come and talk to him. We drink the water, but we are going all the way in. I have been at my best when we had that mindset in the offseason. I said coach put me to the breaking point."

They got 6 weeks of practice before they season starts. These guys are pros it won't take that long for them to gel. We aren't talking about rookies here.

Mitchell wasn't in Carolina prior to last year but looked great. In fact, he was the #2 on the depth chart and wouldn't have been the starter had someone not gotten injured. At this point the fact that he is a vet now and in his like 10th defense since he started in the league since he was in Oakland, I am going to put some faith that he will be fine with Troy and Ike.

I agree. I really think the difference without Troy in OTA's is negligible.

Agreed on all accounts. Would be nice to have Troy there but wont hurt to not have him there.

I think he makes it. Don't forget, he should be able to take a step forward with a year under his belt, I'd expect him to be better, not the same as last year.

Hoping anyway, always been a fan of his.

He'll be the back-up BUCK LBer IMO..

He was pretty good on ST's too, wasn't he?

but it's still a matter of more time together with new parts being added. before we had the same vets back that played together every year. not so now.

I'm not worried about Troy, he will show up for mandatory OTAs later this month.
