2011 STEELERS Secondary.....not the SAFETIES...but the ISLANDS.....Who Comes? and Who Goes?.....2011 Bluedude STEELER Report

The Pittsburgh STEELERS have always been known to have the Top or one of the TOP Defenses Annually in the league. Now with the Current Group holding on to a WINDOW that is about to CLOSE for the OLDER PLAYERS.......#86, #51, #99, #91, #98, #92, and a FEW OTHERS......the STEELERS Secondary, not in the SAFETIES, but on the ISLANDS have come into Question.

Not saying that this is the TROUBLE Area for my STEELERS......but merely we just need to stop the BLEEDING on the ISLANDS. First thing is first Who do we need to re-sign to stay on the SECONDARY at the CORNERS?

Ike TAYLOR the #1 Corner in your heart and #24 in your PROGRAM........SWAGGIN'...didn't quite live up to the MONEY they gave him in his last contract. I personally thought he played above average but the STEELERS, being in a Small Market, don't pay the BIG BUCKS unless you have shown them something. So signing free-gent to be Ike TAYLOR is a HUGE Decision as they cannot go into the 2011 Season with the young corners at both CORNER spots on the current roster.

The OTHER Free-Agent to be is NICKEL CORNER.....the Deshea TOWNSEND spot if you will......Louisville CARDINAL William GAY #22. The STEELERS have them one here but they tried putting GAY in the Starting Corner spot the year before and the STEELERS thought process was right on......A better NICKEL CORNER......shouldn't have trouble signing him.

Now let's look at the maybe 2011 DEPTH CHART at CORNER when they got to LATROBE:

#1 is 2010 Starter and Back from the ARIZONA STEELERS (WHISENHUNT leave us alone GUY.....you also wanted Keith BUTLER but he is the Heir Apparent to the GREAT Dick LeBEAU...so the STEELERS told you to go to your LITTLE hole in the DESERT).....NOW Bryant McFADDEN was a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT and the STEELERS know they have to go young and probably release #20 if they haven't already. The FORMER 'NOLES All-ACC Performer was a Low 2nd Round Pick for the STEELERS in 2005.

If they do here we go.......DEPTH CHART

Keenan LEWIS Quack ATTACK....TERRIBLE...DEER in the HEADLIGHTS every time we play him.....Not READY..pressing at times....looks afraid to make a PLAY.....can't have that.....and not fluid in the HIPS....bad footwork......ALL things in a NFL Corner you don't want

Anthony MADISON ROLL TIDE....A STOP GAP Guy.....Played descent...but in no way is he a STARTER..But just as important on Special TEAMS.....

Crezdon BUTLER Death VALLEY.....last years DRAFT PICK.....I think the CURTAIN might have them something.....ATHLETIC and LONG...very insyinctive corner has the intangibles you can't teach and played in the ACC.....Remind me of and Built like JETS FA CB and former 'NOLES All-American Antonio CROMARTIE

Curtis BROWN Rookie 2011 Pick Hookem' HORNS: He can cover in the SLOT and a 3rd round Steal but with all the OTA's and TRAINING CAMPS MISSED.....he has to get up to SPEED quick. He and LONGHORN Teammate and BILLS #32 Pick CB Aaron WILLIAMS did damage in the BIG 12.

Cortez ALLEN Rookie 2011 Pick The CITADEL: Watch out for this guy #31 pick in the 4th Round......a BALL HAWK who only played in a MID-MAJOR...but he can play...the eye in the SKY doesn't lie.....on TAPE he is physical, fast, and goes after the ball

MAYBE THE STEELERS will look on the waiver line is there will be a lot of activity putting this rosters together and I think the TOP 3 AFTER CAMP is done are

They Re-Sign TAYLOR.........WILLIAM GAY in the SLOT....and go with 2nd Year Corner Crezdon BUTLER......We need to find out what these guys can do...or use TOP $ in the 2012 DRAFT next SEASON to get one. The SAFETIES.....TROY and RYAN are a TOP 3 Safety Tandem in the LEAGUE.....But they can only do so much. We could afford to lose one not BOTH. If we were to LOSE one in Free-Agency.....GAY would most likely be the Choice if IKE not asking for too much $....He shouldn't be.

But what ever it is.....COLBERT and the STEELERS already know the PLAN so there is no reason to jump the GUN STEELERS FANS.....We are in a GOOD PLACE.......LOOK AT THE............Won't go there......NOT YET.

BIG UPS to Deshea TOWNSEND...,a member of the FRATERNITY PHI BETA SIGMA FRATERNITY INCORPORATED (Theta DELTA Chapter)in which the BLUEDUDE is a MEMBER as well (GAMMA EPSILON CHAPTER) both in the STATE of ALABAMA, was hired in FEBRUARY 2011 by the ARIZONA CARDINALS and Former STEELERS Defensive BACK COACH Ray HORTON......It's like WHISENHUNT is trying to stick it to the STEELERS for the NO HIRE....get over it...you and GRIMM.
