More updates from DVE and the Trib on today's workouts..

@DVEMike: Brett Keisel on working against Adams repeatedly Wednesday: "I beat him most of the time but that's just me. He's got potential."

@DVEMike: Keisel on Adams and David DeCastro: "They want them to come in and contribute right away. So far I think they like what they see."

@Ken_Laird: With James Farrior gone, the #Steelers D has had Lawrence Timmons calling out the defensive plays this week in the huddle pre-snap

@Ken_Laird: Ike Taylor on Timmons: "Either he’s too loud or he’s too soft. Got to find a happy medium so the offense [wont] know what the hell we doing"

@Ken_Laird: More Ike on calling out D plays: "I think Farrior was the best at it b/c regardless what the situation was during the game he kept it calm"

@Ken_Laird: Ike on concern ab needing a new D captain: "Ppl said the same thing when Joey Porter left. Nobody expected Farrior. Expect the unexpected"

@DVEMike: Marcus Gilbert DNP Wednesday morning, said afterward he needed a day off. Also noticed Mike Adams "picked it up. He's moving a lot faster."
