Bump.

Steelers open on Sunday night in New England.

I've been told that many times.

I know I'm in the minority but I never liked those jerseys. I like the darker blue ones better.

My mother visited there about 25 years ago.

And just like that the Penguins are swept. What a pitiful performance by them. Not that I expected much from them this postseason but to get swept is humiliating.

Very true. They were okay in Game 1 but never got the lead. Not that it mattered since the Islanders always scored quickly after they did get a lead. They looked old and slow with no emotion at all. Just like last year's Caps series they kept turning over the puck and giving up odd man rushes which the Islanders converted. The Islanders were excellent defensively. I didn't have any expectations from them heading into the postseason but I at least thought they would give the Islanders a test. Tons of credit to them for playing so well. Many changes will be happening in Pittsburgh this offseason. The scary part is what Rutherford will do. I'm shocked the Jack Johnson signing didn't work out. Congrats to NYI and their fans on an impressive sweep.

Do you any of you guys like safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson? Someday I would love to see a free safety in Pittsburgh that can actually get interceptions. Looking back at the stats Mouth Mitchell had zero interceptions his last two years here and Sean Davis had one last season. That's just absolutely horrendous. The only thing that has stuck out with Davis is him knocking a sure interception away from Haden against the Chargers. I actually thought he would be good and while he was a little better at FS he still didn't make any plays. With him being an UFA after the upcoming season I would like to see his eventual replacement get drafted. The Steelers could use some depth there this season.

RB - David Montgomery RB - Benny Snell WR - N'Keal Harry WR - Parris Campbell WR - Emmanuel Hall TE - Kaden Smith TE - Jace Sternberger OG - Beau Benzschawel OT - Martez Ivey DL - Charles Omenihu DL - Renell Wren OLB - Clelin Ferrell OLB - Oshane Ximines OLB - Shareef Miller OLB - D'Andre Walker ILB - Germaine Pratt ILB - Mack Wilson ILB - TJ Edwards CB - Greedy Williams CB - Deandre Baker CB - Byron Murphy CB - Julian Love S - Chauncey Gardner-Johnson S - Nasir Adderly S - Juan Thornhill TIE BREAKERS: 1. Four 2. Third round

Murphy or Baker would be fine with me. I'll go with Murphy by a hair.

I like the Steelers draft.

The Penguins aren't even coming close to the intensity that the Islanders are bringing. Turnovers, sloppy D, and their stars not showing up and the Islanders are taking advantage of that.

So cool to see Lando again.

I went with Calvin but it's close.

If Hockenson was there he might have been my first choice but he's not. So I went with Murphy, Baker, and Metcalf.
