53 Man right now

Don't you think they will again do that with vince?

 

Maybe not if Tuiit comes back strong, And Wormley produces

They hardly play with a " traditional " NT or a " traditional other " ILB ... We'll be fine

 

They play a lot with two ilbs.

 

Maybe not as much now with Bince there

 

If he is out there on third down, they will. My point is that having Barron out there wasn't much better, certainly not enough to make up for the deficiency in the run defense. If they are smart, Williams won't be out there much for third downs when it is a passing situation. It will be an extra defensive back, with Edmunds taking on Barron's old responsibility. That probably means using Sutton or Hilton as a deep safety unless the team makes another move for help at safety.

 

Why are you listing Wormley as a nose tackle? The way you were breaking this down, he belongs with the defensive tackles based on his size and experience. The veteran who should be listed as a nose tackle is McCullers. Maybe Wormley can make that switch, but Alualu is the one better equipped for that transition.

If Heyward is a defensive tackle, so are Tuitt, Mondeaux, Buggs and Alualu.

 

Hayward and Tuitt both played DT and DE in college. Alualu played NT in tampa. Wormley is listed as a NT on the roster. As long as any of them can manhandle a center and have to be double teamed they will be effective. It doesn't have to be a cat guy staying stationary to make it work. Quickness and penetration are quite effective too. Casey wasn't always 350 when he first arrived. He was 315. Hargraves wasn't that big either, he was drafted for quickness first like casey. They may be fine with fresh bodies being subbed in to wear out linemen as the game wears on.

 

Actually the run defense was pretty good. We were 7th in the league.

 

I don't have a problem with using any of those guys on the nose. I just thought it was odd to list Wormley as a nose tackle, but not McCullers.

 

Williams was a part of that. It's not as if he wasn't playing. He's a far better run defender than Barron.

 

I could see the Steelers using more of a 4-3 at times, even though no one will call it that, with Watt or Dupree having their hand on the ground, and Bush being on the outside. This way you can have Heyward, Tuitt, and Alalu, your best three defensive linemen on the field, and none of them are solely responsible for the middle.

 

keep telling yourself that.

 

Your judging him when Lynch hasn't even thrown a pass yet ...can we like ...wait until he throw a few interceptions before we throw him under the bus??

 

As we found out the hard way ...Duck has physical limitations ...Lynch don't, he needs to just perform

 

You go back and watch the games. You will see it, too.

 

He was so bad that the team that used a first-round pick on him cut him before his rookie contract was up. Lynch has thrown passes in the NFL. He just did it with another team.

 

So where's your list?????

 

Love to review this come January and see how many are left standing. Heck it will be cool to see how many are there the first game. I would think most.

 

Most Overrated-AV
Most Underrated-Feiler
Best Player-Watt
Key New Addition-Ebron
Could Surprise-Snell
Takes A Leap-Edmunds
Prove It Year-Chuks and Banner

 

Most overrated- Dupree
Most underrated- Rudolph (not good but underrated by Steeler fans)
Best player- Minkah
Key new addition- Dotson
Could surprise- Bush
Takes a leap- T. Edmunds
Prove it- Big Ben


Where's yours?

 

Well I didn't do one but will Steel6 quoted above but didn't add his own so I was curious as to his meaning. I will have to think about my list but I can tell ya right now the first and last of your list I am on board 100%

 

Agreed. Age and injuries are adding up. He leaves with Ben. It's the reason a bunch of us wanted a Center in the draft.

 

Straight from Steelers.com roster listing:

Chris Wormley
95 NT 6-5 300 Age 26 Years 4 Michigan
