Ike; An INT in 2 Straight Weeks

More importantly, the Steelers were +2. Two take aways, 0 give aways.

Ike's our best corner but I don't believe he caught a 2nd one. Just an illusion.

Way to Ike. He's having a great year. I've always been critical of him, but he's playing well.

Great to get 2 INT's , but he DID not have a good day otherwise. 6 catches for 87 yards and TD to a rookie should not happen - and I don't care if it was AJ Green.

That being said, he is having a pro-bowl year and I hope he gets the nod this season to go to Hawaii.

We get on Ike's case, in jest of course, for his lack of INT's or lack of ability to actually catch them when he has the chance but overall the dude is one of the better cornerbacks in the league and certainly deserving of a pro bowl sooner or later. Either way the Steelers are lucky to have him.

If you remember back when he was drafted by Bill Cowher out of Louisiana-Lafayette 9 years ago and had so many troubles trying to adjust to corner, he's come a long way. His hard work has paid off not only for himself and the Steelers every year.

I saw an interview after the game where the question was posed to him about the consecutive games with an interception. He said that he's been getting pointers and learning from the young receivers. He said that although he's older than them, you're never too old to learn.

With the way the Browns offense is this year and their complete lack of any offensive firepower, I'm sure they will try and run Hillis to take the pressure off McCoy. Sooner or later though he is going to have to throw and guys like Ike Taylor should be able to take advantage of that.
