    After Warren Sapp called out the Steelers defense for being old and slow a few years ago that doesn't apply anymore. They have made a attempt to get younger and faster, Mike Mithchell, Shazier, Shamarko bring much needed speed to the defense. Ike and Troy are the only starters on defense over the age of 30, now all we need is a fast CB make that two CB's.

    The first round draft pick implies one very simple thing to me...they are going to head back to their roots....great LB play. We really haven't had it since Farrior retired. If our LBs play up to potential, this D can be headed back to dominant again.
