    its interesting what the steelers could do with Burrow or LJ. I think it depends on how good our line can pass and run block. If AR is given time i still think he can make the right reads and pick defenses apart. Really Burrow or LJ are not much different (there is no Elway like ability among these guys). If the line gels we can be a playoff team, i dont know about contender.

    When I first clicked on this post, I was expecting to see green font or maybe a cartoon of our head coach on a child's swing set.

    Have to disagree. We are not on the upswing. Sideways momentum at best.

    We do not seem to be graduating from a fringe playoff team into at least more serious contender. Sorry, just don`t see it.

    Upgraded the coaching staff? Check.

    Upgraded the wide receivers? Check.

    Upgraded the running backs? Check.

    Upgraded the cornerbacks? Check.

    It looks like we had a good draft.

    No offical predictions until camp is about to end, but this looks like a 11 win team!

    Have you given up on Fautanu?!

    A bit too early no?

    Most of those vets the Browns had on the OL are gone.

    Troy is okay. But I just can’t figure out why they moved him to left tackle. Cook was excellent in that role for 4 games. Now Cook starts at Right Tackle and Troy at Left Tackle. Why experiment at Left Tackle?

    i tend to doubt Troy has the movement skills to play left tackle well. Troy needs to show his skills early in camp. It would not surprise me to see Cook move back to Left Tackle.
