not saying hes irreplaceable because i like cortez and brown and think brown will play nicely in the NB role, but he was our 2nd best CB and did come up big multiple times to put games away

Only in Steeler Nation is a guy blasted for a perfect pass to arguably the best pass catching TE in the NFL, not to mention that the play in question happened 2 years ago.

We need more fast tall CB's like Myron, Ike, Allen

Newly-signed CB William Gay can play S in a pinch -- a skill that made recently departed free agent Richard Marshall (Dolphins) so valuable. Gay started 15 games last season for the Steelers at CB, but his role is not assured with the Cards. While Arizona would have liked to have Marshall back, they will get CB Greg Toler back this season. Toler, who was expected to start at one CB spot, tore his ACL in a preseason game last year against the Chargers.

I'm guessing Gay will be cut after TC and if we really need him back I think we could have him cheap..

The Steelers "D" has always managed to plug in somebody new and not miss a beat. I wish Gay good luck with the Arizona Steelers.

Put your money where your money where your mouth is, I've got $100 that says the Cards don't cut him after training camp 2012.

gay is easily their second best CB already and easily their most polished

A year ago I would have been absolutely ecstatic about this news. I'm kind of indifferent now I guess. It doesn't break my heart to see him go but he really became a great role player on defense for us this past season. I wish him luck in Pittsburgh West.
