TRIPLE DIAMOND CHRONICLES Take 106..."DICK LeBEAU" Edition....Camp La TROBE is on the Menu for July 2K13 as STEELERS D needs "PLAYMAKERS" and a Few Good Vets to Step Up #ThreeFourZoneBlitz #LeBeauSchoolOfD

The Steelers knew that 8-8 wasn't Steeler-Type Football but in reality your record illustrates who you are which was average at best. Having said that the Steelers know that Turnover ratio needs to be plus and north of at least 15-20 Turnovers in the Steelers Favor and that might directly correlate to more Wins in 2K13. Coach LeBeau and Lead Man Tomlin knows all of this is "June Talk" but it is the "Main Focus" for that Defense going into 2K13.

Starting up front with the Nose tackle and that should be newly re-signed Steve McClendon's Job to lose. Veteran and Star Right Defensive End Brett "Fear the Beard" Keisel will again lead that charge that needs a huge push from Left Defensive End "Ziggy" Hood and 3rd Year DE Cameron . Those Young Players like Hood, McCelndon, and Heyward have to play better and come up big for that Steelers D to get back to some of the Super Bowl Run Defenses. 2012 Pick and Nose Tackle Alameda Ta'amu needs to step it up in Camp or the Steelers might release the 2nd year pro. Watch for 2013 7th Round Pick Nick Williams as he may fill the void if Ta'amu can't.
Heyward

The Backers are all their as Larry Foote (Left Inside Backer) of the Maize and Blue is holding down the Defensive Play-Calling and that Leadership Role. He will be flanked by Should Have Been Pro Bowler Right Inside Backer LAWdawg Timmons. The Steelers need Left Outside Backer Lamarr Woodley to get back to those Days where he wreaked havoc on QBs and Tackles. Was he out of shape in 2012 who cares its 2013. The Right Outside Backer has 4th year pro Jason Worilds penciled in as the Starter and most likely will as the Steelers #1 2013 Pick ROLB Jarvis Jones (pictured right #95) will get some snaps.

The Secondary has aging Safeties that I think have plenty in the tank and we will see. Troy Polamalu finally says he is over his Calf Issue that has hampered the Safety for some four years. Ryan Clark, the unquestioned leaders of the Steelers will get his last tour of duty with the Steelers. Both Players will have faster and younger players playing with them and hopefully that helps the Steelers all around. 2013 Fourth Round Pick Shamarko "Shark" Thomas will learn both positions and then 'Cuse had him playing all four positions in college.

The Islands will be manned by strong side Corner "I Like Ike" Taylor playing opposite of him is 3rd-year Pro Cortez Allen. Free Agent CB Keenan Lewis signed a free agent deal with the Browns. The Steelers also pick-up former Steelers CB Williams Gay from the Bird Gang and watch 5th round Pick CB Terry Hawthorne of the Illini. Back to Gay he is reportedly playing some Safety as well.

The Steelers open Camp La Trobe on July 26th and there is plenty of work to do. Turnovers, three and outs, QB Pressures is the blame of the Game and they must get back to that in 2K13.
