    I know it's early but I will say by the years end our O-line will be the best in the league.





    Bud dupree will have more sacks than Jarvis.

    I actually thought it was for a hernia. Both surgeries suck though.

    If the line stays healthy this will be the best line we have had since the, Marvel Smith, Alan Faneca, Jeff Hartings era. But those were Ben's early years, he had some terrible protection for many years.

    Terrible protection compounded by the fact that our offensive scheme also hung Ben out to dry. Haley's scheme protects Ben AND lights up the scoreboard. Dang I love that guy!

    Remember like 4 years ago everyone wanted to run him out of town. That being said I think Bruce Arians wasn't really the problem, but the fall guy.

    These are pretty much the same caliber of players we've had during those bad years too. The difference has been Munchak.

    Yes we fell into a bed of roses, since he has come here from the Titans. He's turned it around big time.

    I was never one of those people. I've been a Haley devotee since day one.

    Lots of football left, I was pleasantly surprised by Sunday's out come. Steelers have
    to get better defensively to compete with top echelon teams. Lets hope for little or no
    injuries and let the season play out. This is an 11-5 team, should be good for a playoff spot.
    Remember other teams players get paid also.

    Yep. Mike Shula is doing the same thing now with 'hang out to dry' to Cam Newton with the 5 WR sets and a bad O line.
