A QB DRIVEN LEAGUE CARD KEY Access AFC North...with a PRIMANTI Brothers SAMICH of TRIPLE DIAMOND CHRONICLES #15...BLACK and YELLOW 2012 Report...Can we Finally get #7?

STEELERS 2011 Record 12-4 AFC North (4-2)

Gone...Potsie #51, A-Smith #91, Hines 86 Sauce, and In is New Offensive Coordinator and Son of former Longtime Steelers Player Personnel Director Dick Haley's Son Todd. Pup List Hamp and Shard for 2012 pre season, Mike Wallace on Somebody's Couch not signed. Geaux Tigers Clark, Hookem' Horns Hamp, Maize and Blue's Foote, and Head & Shoulders Polamalu in their 30s. What now for the Steelers do we Fold, are the Bengals better than us, Crab Cakes for Dinner....What Steelers Nation?

Slow your roll and I know the Ravens and Bengals are picked by most to finish 1st and 2nd in the AFC North. But those Predictions are like your Local Weather man.....25% of the Time right.

The Steelers still have Big Ben, the Top Draft Class of 2012, and Quality Depth with Young Guys ready to step in to make a name for themselves in Steelers Land.  Yes we have the AFC West and the NFC East on the 2012 Schedule and we are Steelers nation we duck no one and take over on the Road.

Yes it was disappointing to get Tebowed in Mile High but that was Winning Time 2011 and look what the Football Gods blew in for the Start of 2012 at Mile High again this Time with AP 4-Time Sunday MVP Peyton Manning. I just heard in my Barber Shop last week the 49ers and Saints are the New Sunday Rivalry and the ravens and Gold Rush hit harder than us. I told them lets compare Lombardi's. It got Quiet and I paid my Barber and exited....still Quiet and not a Word after I threw up 6 Fingers.

TE Leonard Pope (2012 FA Pick Up from Red Zone AZ)
DE Lil Ironhead Heyward #97

NT Alameda Ta'amu (2012 4th Round Pick)
ILB Sean Spence (2012 3rd Round Pick)
OLB C2 #54
ILB Mortty Ivy #57
CB C. Brown #31
CB C. Allen #28

The Depth Chart is Loaded with at least 5-8 Guys ready to play Significant Minutes. The Rooks will get in Sparingly with NT Ta'amu probably #2 behind McLendon in Week 1. The Steelers have a Plethora of Linebackers that will be competing and used heavily on Special Teams. James Harrison had Knee and Back Issues in the Off Season so he is trying to get Healthy for the Season.

The Offense will have a New look and the Steelers are without their #1 Wide out in Mike Wallace. Antonio Brown assumes the 31 Role and is a true #1 and a Complete WR. Inking a 5 Year $42 Million Deal Last Week lets you know how much the Steelers think of him moving forward.

RB Shard Mendenhall is on PUP List from ACL Tear he suffered in Week 17 vs Browns. Lookout for Rooks Chris Rainey of the Gators (who played with Twin Pouncey at Lakeland Fl HS and the Swamp) and Marquis Maze from 'Bama. Both will be a Spark in the kicking Game and Rainey possibly on 3rd Down.
