the TRIPLE DIAMOND CHRONICLES Take 5...WEEK 1 of Organized Team Activities (OTAs)....New FACES...Same PLACES....Keenan Lewis says Pro Bowl....BIG BEN says Playbook Cool and we will adjust....#99 "Glad to be back at Work"...#92 "No one to eat with at Breakfast"

The only thing to look forward to as the BLUEDUDE'S Steelers get prepared for the 2012 Upcoming Season is who is going to Step Up and be Leaders and play Big.

The Leaders part is taken care of with the likes #99, #25, #7, #50, #92, and Twin #53. Now who will play Big is a whole different story.

We have heard a lot about PLAYBOOKgate and Big Ben and Coach Haley but I am willing to see Coach New Offense then see that WR Screen that I call from My Coach 10 times every Sunday.

RB Isaac Redman is more than willing to carry the load as Shard Mendenhall is at least 3-4 Months away from any contact.

WR Jerricho Cotchery Looks like the 3rd WR as he and Go Go Sanders battle it out for #86 position.

Another battle is at ILB with Veteran Leader Larry Foote of Maize and Blue to Battle 2nd year ILB Stevenson Sylvester and Rookie ILB Sean Spence.

#99 says ," it is good to get back working and the young guys battling it out for a Roster Spot". #92, " I had no one to eat with at Breakfast and I have called Potsie Farrior (Steelers ILB and Captain released this Off Season) a few times but change is sometimes good ".

With Bryant McFadden released, William Gay with Coach Whisenhunt (and who else would he go to), the Weak side Corner is open for Biz and one hopeful is 4th year man Keenan Lewis of the Quack Attack aka Swoosh University who said earlier in the week to the Pittsburgh Post Gazzette, "I will be the 1st pro Bowler since the Clinton Administration"...slow down your only as good as covering the WR in front of you and if you do that well all else will take care of itself.

The key Component that can't go unnoticed is the Leadership in the Locker Room the Steelers Way. Potsie and Hines will be missed but that's why all the Vets have shown up to OTAs like #43, #99, #25, #92, #50, #24, and more. look what happened to the Jets last season...no Shaun Ellis and the Locker Room was like Housewives of NYC...not that the BLUEDUDE cares about Jets Business.

Like most Steelers fans....to see this young and powerful Offensive line is worth the wait and Big Ben has to be thinking wow a healthy Full Season and that could be Dangerous for Opponents.
