You'd take Gay over Ike? Give me Swaggin all day long. He and JPJ would form a really interesting combo. I love me some Big Play Willie Gay, but I'd take Ike over him 10/10. Holmes is a really good option. He'd be great for our current offense. I see a lot of Santonio Holmes when I watch Roman Wilson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost said Aaron Smith, forgot he finally got 1 in 2004 (Keisel also with 1 in 2010, Joel Steed 1 in 1997). A lot of the good/great DL had 1 pro bowl apparently. Kimo at DL, Darren Perry at safety would be 2 I would heavily consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea. Barely. It’s the ball hawking and inside-out ability that we need. I look at it this way: Prime Willie was what Cam Sutton should be. Starts on the outside, bumps in for nickel. You take Ike and you still have the nickel issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take the near lock down outside CB and then look to sign a slot guy. Give me JPJ - Sutton - Ike over JPJ - Willie Gay - Donte Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to sign someone change at things in terms of what can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why i would not choose Willie Gay was he was a zone CB only. Played when the Steelers were almost all zone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 Anybody catch Jaylen Warrens comments on (I think) Cam Heywards podcast about the difference in leadership? He said he sees a difference where all three QBs are pulling guys aside, helping teach the route combos, timing, where to expect the ball, helping them understand their role in helping the position. He said it’s different from the last few years where guys just ran routes and if it was there it was there and missed passes came with no corrections. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 He really was a flash in the pan wasn’t he? Those 3 great years here, traded due to the weed issue, 2 ok season with the Jets, then 3 injury riddled years to close his career. Amazing too that IIRC he was traded for the pick for Brown, traded for the pick for Johnson, traded for Jackson and a pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ike would be nice given our current team, even if he was overrated by many Steeler fans IMO. I think Tuitt was better overall, but CB is a bigger need. Problem is, we still have no nickle. Saw someone picked Gay, but he sucked way too often to be the pick IMO. PS....damn, if not for one lone pro bowl appearance, could have gotten Aaron Smith, one of the most underrated (if not THE most) defenders in Steelers history. Martavis is a good option, but pairing him with Pickens is a disaster waiting to happen. Santonio wouldnt be much better on that front, but probably a better compliment....and WR HAS to be the addition on offense. Or maybe Bubby Brister for the lolz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
