PS............Sensabaugh could impress but I see him as a pending, not quite know what we've got CB. This will help determine how much he has and I hope it's enough to over take Cockrell. It's not just Cockrell but also William Gay who needs replaced. Surely we have someone better than Gay??????/. Suggestions anyone??

I think they were hoping Sutton would latch on quickly, but a long training camp injury said not so fast.

So reality is we are thin at CB / DB ?? Golson is major contributor to lack of bodies.......three years now. We best draft or address this in the off season and NOT rely on constant injured prospects.

now you know why they were sniffing around Trumaine Johnson

Sens can only man one spot. Allen is extremely raw, Gay is extremely old, **** is extremely inconsistent, Sutton has extremely been hurt throughout training camp. Golson is extremely a walking injured bust.

Which can leave one position either the slot or the spot opposite Burns extremely worrisome.

I hear yaz slash which makes me more concerned with front office leaning on Golson to be healthy.....this season. I'm hoping in final cut down that something may happen. WE need a CB and we need him early / now to make early winning a priority so our "RECORD" don't put us in emergency mode.

**** the CHEATRIOTS ....... For you Omar

Yeah I wouldn't mind them bringing in a CB, final cuts. Unless they feel Hilton is up to the task. But I prefer one more body back there.
 
I think Hilton can be an asset and possibly may start due to injury or lack of talent (gay ****). We're right though as another CB needs to be in place and I just hope it's someone with talent / ability.

Wonder why over the last 4 or 5 seasons we haven't attempted to bring in a FA CB that was not a bottom tier guy.. but wanted to sign Hightower to a $10 mill a year contract...or whatever we offered him. New year same ****. Hey. ..we did draft a bunch of CB's so that should get us by.
 
Tough when you have young guys like Golson and Sutton that can't get on the field. At least the coaching staff is willing to make a move rather than stick with the established veteran.
 
And they added another CB via the team's twitter:

"We have acquired CB Dashaun Phillips via trade with Washington in exchange for C Lucas Crowley."
 
Why is everyone so hard on ****? The guy just went limp. It happens right?
 
just posted this in the Bell thread but why not once Bell signs trade him to the Rams plus a pick for Trumaine Johnson and Todd Gurley
 
Perhaps Sammie coates can play CB? or DHB, he can tackle!

Seriously though, I'm hoping Hilton gets some first team reps as well.
 
If they don't fix the secondary NOW! This Steelers team will not win it all this season. Our secondary is nothing after Artie Burns. And we have no one who can be a quality #2.

Senseabaugh was nicknamed "TOAST" in New York last season and that is why he was let go in the off season. He was terrible!

Our Steelers need to trade some of our WR's for a few quality DB's. Heck four of these five guys will most likely not make the roster....that includes "Sammie Coates, Darrius Heyward Bey, Justin Hunter, Cobi Hamilton & Demarcus Ayers. The Steelers are already set with their big four Brown, Bryant, Rogers & JuJu. So maybe they keep one more guy.....possibly two. We've got five WR's the Steelers could trade off to another team for a DB who could land on this roster as a #2 DB!
 
This what happens when you draft the DB position routinely in late rounds and attempt to develop the cast offs from other teams. Burns is the first first round CB pick we've drafted since Chad Scott. That's like 10 years of passing on CB for Jarvis, Hood, and Spin and Fall. Scouts and coaches painted us into this corner...pun intended.

Thing of it is free agency had some upgrades but the Steelers sat on their hands.

Sometimes you have to be aggressive in your approach to upgrade when needed.

Some might say drafting two and bringing in a corner isn't sitting on their hands. It is when you needed at least two experienced corners.


Perhaps they did't see Cockrell performing as bad as he did. I dunno

Oh the money though...they are over priced...blah blah blah. ...what were they going to pay Hightower? If they were willing to dish that out on an ILB....why not upgrade a position of huge need with that allotted money? Mind boggling that the front office just sits on their hands in FA when the better CB's our available. That's ok. Another couple of years of playing 10 cushions on 3rd and 4. Why not...

What? Is this Madden Football? Why stop there. Throw in a 1st 2nd and 3rd round picks from them and see if they bite.
