    This article more or less outlines my feelings but I am a pretty optimistic person by nature and obviously my biases show. There are alot of really good points regarding the next installment of the 2015 Steeler defense. I really wanted to say " Steel Curtain" but I feel as though while we will improve from last year we have a couple of years before the ressurection of the curtain. Here is hoping so.. Enjoy

    I'd give it an interesting read not sure I agree with the breakdown as it kinda glosses over the contributions of the entire defense beyond just tracked stats. But still reason for hope.

    I agree with the general premise. There are a ton of question marks, but we should be faster and more unpredictable across the whole defense. I hope Butler simplifies things just enough to let the thoroughbreds play fast on instinct instead of taking time to think. Read, react and attack. That's my take anyway.

    If the Steelers draft well and can get the drafted players on the field early I think it can be a good defense.

    Correct Thorn
    Just a epic fail in an attempt to be humourless

    Sry Busman, sometimes I cross the line. You see, I get paid by people to just listen to them most of the time and well sometimes I just keep my mouth shut and interject.

    BOT
    can't wait to see the defense this year gonna be exciting one way or the other

    Lol! Maybe you and Lloyd can pay each other in some sort of weird pay for thoughts/pay for listening to thoughts loop.

    Their will never be another Steel Curtain.

    I am looking forward to the new look Defense coached by Butler. I believe it will be simplified and allow players to make plays, bringing the aggressiveness back. Front 7 looks good on paper, now to see the fruition. Address the secondary, add another pass rusher and D end and let's go.

    No need to apologize. Usually when I read your posts especially ones which include song lyrics I totally get it.. I must admit though often I just chalk it up to " Oh that's just darcav being darcav" lol

    Not really good at picking out wit unless it smacks me right in the face lol

    p.s. If you are a psychologist or psychiatrist I need some time with you. lol

    Butler has a training camp and 5 preseason games to work out the kinks on this defense and settle on his starting lineup, there shouldn't be any question marks about who he wants on the field for that September 10 season opening game...

    3 "lol's"? Yep. It's funny. What's REALLY funny was darcrav talking about getting paid for her thoughts. I think I know what she meant by that and I think some people might miss the reference. I'm not sure if that was her intent but if it was I know what she was talking about and I was definitely laughing.

    LOL!!!! I thouuuught I was right! I am your resident interpreter for a reason I suppose. I think if you ever do any sessions from that couch I should just hunker down behind it and every time you say something really cryptic I would just bounce up like a Jack in the Box and explain it and then squat back down. LOL! Also that couch is hilarious!
