If you take Green replacing Miller for example. Truthfully, for quiet leadership probably impossible. Miller was the consummate professional who always put his team before himself. Replacing his skill set at the height of his career, extremely unlikely. Miller was one of the best blocking, surest hands tight ends of his generation. However, replacing end of the career Miller, highly likely. And in fact Green will most likely create much more match up issues. He probably won't be near as in sync with Ben in terms of being the safety valve, but I bet he creates a lot more room on the field for the underneath by the wide outs. And Miller has been my favorite player for the past ten years.

Green seems mild mannered likable.
I think he will fit in just fine.
Not that Steelers Nation won't miss HEathhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

The passing game will even be more lethal than before. Brown, Bryant, Coates, DHB, Wheaton, James and now Green. Defenses will still need to account for Bell as well. This a good problem to have.

I understand what you are saying. Heath has been in decline for sometime now. Like all great players, we want to remeber them in their prime. That is what I'm chosing to do with Mr. Miller. He was VERY bestesteverestes. Green will be able to make us NOT miss a beat, when comparison to retirering Heath.

Why do you clowns always have to COMPARE player A with Player B. Makes no sense to me. Who was better Bird or Magic. who ******* cares?
Brown, Bryant (if he lost the ganja), Coates, Green, Bell ...................... Who the **** stops that? If they just go for the throat every series, who cares what the D does. Maybe the D makes 2-3 stops a game, just try to win 52-40

I'm sure he is very good. What I'm saying is that you need a net result better than last year and Green doesn't have to produce Miller 2012 800 plus yards and 8 tds to do that.
Miller was great & one of my favorites, but the last few years he would go down at first contact. He couldn't seem to get the extra few yards that he did in previous years. Father time catches up with us all. Looks like Green will be able to drag the defender or break the tackle. I'm pumped to see him play.

Miller was a throw back guy. Hard working, fundamentally sound, we've been lucky in that the prototype steeler is a guy like health. And if green was coming straight from college id be worried. But with green, as phill rivers said, the sky's the limit. Green could be a touchdown machine in this offense where he's going to get lots of single coverage. Gooooo steeeeelllllersssss!!!!
