  1. If money weren't an issue White would be an obvious move to safety but his salary is troublesome.  Elam won't be able to adapt I'm afraid to the complexity of the role.  More than likely if Hyde is gone Poyer will be in a transition year and Rapp will take on more of a role.  We would be great signing someone like Duggar but we can't afford that.  Look for a signing in the same mold as Hyde or Poyer 7 years ago where they have been underrated (I kind of see Rapp as the one last year).  Benford isn't moving and he gets injured too much.

    I don't think this would work because they both play the same style and you need free safety not another SS. Rapp is a liability on every play because he just runs real hard with his head down and tries to torpedo the play like a 70s safety and that doesn't work anymore. I honestly don't understand what happened to Hamlin, he really wasn't that awful as a young safety when he had to start. 

    Unfortunately Hamlin is broken goods as I think the mental game with good reason is too limiting.  I think Poyer and Rapp will be the best bet and pretty sure McDerm will make it work

    Realistically, I expect McD to move back to HC, promote Washington or Babich to DC, and probably hire Brady as OC. And Smiley stays on ST and gets a chance with a HC helping out.

     

    That is, imo, minimal changes on a staff that needs change but wont change much.

    I think Babich on D is probably the best move but lets be honest, McDerm did a fine job with this defense considering so many top players dropped.  ST is something we definitely to look at.  The unit regressed this year

  3. You can do this with all injured players that have just come back.  People on here did the same thing to Tre White when he came back.  If anything needs to be figured out it's how can we stop getting these long term injuries to the main cogs in this defense.  We will never compete if our best players get injured.  Pre Von injury, with a full year of Milano, Tre White and Daquan Jones absolutely would have been a super bowl defense.

    Be careful, steelers fans think the refs screwed them.  They are pointing to "fake" Josh slide, late hit, and DPI on 4th down as their examples.  I think they didnt get a TO off Josh like they all thought would happen, so they should just accept they lost.  

    At no point were the Steelers in a position to tackle Josh, I don't even see how they would think that was a fake slide lol
