who needs linebackers in a 3-4?

I guess no one learned their lesson from this time last year, when everyone said that coaching alone would result in at least 7-8 wins - and that Pendergast would be a huge improvement over Gunther.

But so was safety, nickel, offensive line, tight end and the return game before today.

They just have too many ****ing holes.

Hopefully there's a draft and free agency in 2011 so we can finish putting this thing together.

(Something I'd also be saying had they taken a new NT and ILB)

I do. And I am hoping with all hope he can do what Gunther couldn't, take underachieving players and bring them to their potential.

I'm also hoping with all hope that I'm dead wrong. That these guys actually know what the **** they're doing and I'm just a blithering idiot.

It's not like I get so wrapped up in my opinions that I hope this team fails. I'm not that proud.

Somebody said that? I must have completely missed it.

Those people were ****ing stupid.

But I'll need proof before proclaiming that Weis and Crennel aren't upgrades over Solari and Gunther.

Who hacked Dane's account? Seriously it's not funny anymore. I want to be pissed at him for being a dick to everyone.

Are you feeling......empty?

We swapped accounts. :D

Every offseason, it's that same song and dance and people still buy it.

This.

And what makes me sick is how the Steelers manage a ROTY every draft in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th round.

Mostly OLB's.

You know, in the rounds we drafted Gary Coleman and ****ing Webster...

Yeah, they do.

Unfortunately, they decided to fill the least important ones.

Please don't think that getting another nickle CB, TE and KR is more important that a front 7 player in a 3-4 defense.

LMAO

I don't get the talk about the "True Fans" and the "Drafturbators" are reversing roles. The True Fans are acting exactly like they always do -- they submit wholly to authority.

McCluster was a gamechanger in college, true. In order to be that in the NFL he will need to learn how to run a full gamut of routes from the slot. Is he a project capable of learning? Yes, I believe that he is. But is he a project worth spending the 36th overall pick when you could have addressed glaring defensive needs w/ 1st round talent (not to mention picking up a #1 QB or a fringe-#1/great-#2 WR)? I strongly feel that he's not worth the pick over the other, better (or as good at the least) options that were available.

I mean this in a totally constructive criticism way: most of you guys sound just like KnowMo in this thread.
