Foote was the most important re-signing

QB was, batch and leftwhich... Now, Gradkowski and JPW... Advantage? Id like to think now.
RBs push same people, minus Mendy who barely played last year
WRs... Advantage last year. Had 5 #2 WRs now only 4
TEs... Push to advantage Last season. Same people except Heath starts year hurt
OL... You would think advantage this year bc we should be healthier.
DL... Push, hampton is gone so were forced to play younger guys
LBs... Advantage last year
DBs... Advantage last year after expecting to lose Lewis

I disagree, Ike started really poorly and Allen will be fine to replace Lewis. I think it will be Brown or Gay that will make the difference at NB and in the dime. With the young guys under those four, Victorian and DVD eventually replacing Ike, our CB's are fine. The safeties are bigger questions in my mind, Mundy was terrible, W. Allen was a decent backup and I am not sure Clark can have the year he had last year again. I think it will be a push.

Plax, Sanders, Jerchio

Okay Jerchio is at best a thrid... But point still stands.

Off topic but I really wish we would have tried McFadden at Safety. I think he was great when he could see the ball and he was a hell of a tackler. When you made him turn his back to the ball he was terrible lol. I think he could have possibly been a probowl safety.

I agree but either way we'll be able to pay somebody. We pay atleast one big contract a year , we passed on Wallace so I think Lewis will get his. I hope we go ahead and extend Cortez so we can dodge that bullet next year.

Lewis is from the bayou!

Assuming the Steelers keep Sanders and don't draft Patterson, the depth chart shapes up
Brown#1
Sanders #2
Cotch #3
Plax #4

Curtis Brown is another guy who is horrible with his back to the ball. He is obviously athletic, why not give him a shot to learn FS?
