Who is looking forward to seeing Timmons play outside linebacker

I'm excited to see Timmons play OLB he is younger and way faster than Harrison. It should be very interesting .What do you think?

I'm interested in watching him. Hell, if he can get to the QB, he'll be an improvement.

I'm torn. Can't wait to watch him in the pass rush, but I'm concerned about his ability to stand in and stop the run.

Excited but worried, Foote and Farrior are gonna get killed!

Everyone is anxious to see what Timmons can do on the outside but he's so good on the inside that how much are we exposed now? There's a reason that they swap out Foote and Farrior, and it's not just because Larry has done so well in training camp. You put them both in at MLB and then sub in Sly Sylvester and you be setting yourself up for some rough time ahead. These guys played together for a long time so they are experienced but neither is a spring chicken anymore.

This might lead to Sly getting enough reps that he can show he's ready for more playing time too. You could be seeing a potentially big change starting to unfold in the Steelers linebacking corp.

Way more interested than watching Foote and Fairier play ILB.

I think he'll be fine wrapping guys up as he is a solid tackler; however, I am somewhat concerned about his ability to get off of blocks to take out running backs.
