    The thing about Peterson sliding to safety is something often talked about, but honestly how many CBs have done it well. Not saying he can't do it, but it is a different position and mindset. Athletically is one thing, mind set and mental quickness adaption is another. The two that come to mind, Ronnie Lott and Ron Woodson are both HoF and superior athletes. I am sure there are others, but it's not as successful as we tend to think.

    I don’t think there are too many people who devour Steelers news have too many delusions of the job title and rolls of the bigs. Equally the casual fan might be more of this “popular belief”. Still though, short of being an insider we still only know of abstract silhouettes of their job descriptions - nothing exact.

    I’m thinking the 2nd longest tenured coach in the league who’s been there almost 20 years with a SB trophy in the building has quite amount of influence in the construction of the team in THIS organization. Especially when two of the other guys in the main discussions are new this year.

    Bill Parcells famously said after he earned some serious clout - If they want you to cook the meal they should allow you to shop for the groceries. Or to similar affect.

    It could be any LB spot. He was never listed as ILB or MLB as a Jet. He was ROLB his fourth season with them and RLB in a 4-3 his final year with the Jets. That supports how I remember it, that he was an outside linebacker with the Jets and made the switch when he came to Pittsburgh.

    Exactly. LB which means He played all those spots. For more than one year. Remember how We used L. Timmons for awhile.
    Anyway I'm not here for arguing....If You look hard enough.....the year We got Him they had a big write up about all We are discussing here, and Why He wanted to comeback to a 3-4 team, and Why We took Him.

    Charles Woodson also made the switch to safety, I don't think Peterson is going to play safety fulltime.

    I don't remember that. I remember conversation about him having to shift to an unfamiliar inside spot as a Steeler, but okay.

    A third year with Mr. Saturday running the offense sorta seems like eternal damnation.

    I thought the Pound key was now a Hashtag, or is it still the Number sign? What the hell is # now?

    I loved Scooby

    Many years ago I had a stray mutt who was similar

    I found him on the road panicking right after I believe someone threw him out of the car they got away while I collected him or I would have had to dig another hole out in the woods

    Became one of the best dogs I ever met
