Will any or all of these players be cut?

True, we'll see... He's not worth his pay at this point!

Miller did a great job in those clutch plays.....but with Ward we also lost serious fire and leadership. Two things that this shitty team has lacked all year.

I will jump on that ship with you, I know it's gonna get bombed to hell and back, but like I posted yesterday Hines wasn't scared to go out and crack someone on a block, and that leadership by example IMO is just as important as leadership by saying the right things to get a team on track. Would having Ward on the team have done anything with the Wallace situation, probably not, feel that Hines could have helped AB and Sanders for one more year and the team wouldn't have suffered any worse than it did. With that said Hines could've torn his ACL first game, especially with the bad luck the team had on the injury front! Let the bombardment begin

Hines doesn't have an ACL.

The site in which we can't mention here has an article listing 21 players that will be cut before next season.

I have to agree with you all about Hines.

I tend to think of it the same way...this year was Ward Karma. Lots of steeler fans wanted Ward cut, and they got

Wallace.

How many dropped passes Wallace, Brown and Sanders had this year...

Yeah Hines was a leader...lol

You guys actually BUY that bullshit?

Pretty exciting seeing Cortez Allen getting experience and actually holding on to interceptions.

Thoughts?

C-town

Foote, Hamp, Plax, Mendy, Keisel, Colon, Foster,

Ike, Allen and Lewis are a pretty good secondary.If healthy, Troy could be born again with freelancing with these guys in coverage. Wouldn't be surprised if Harrison was asked to restructure or be released - who knows anymore?
