AR2 has already said that Wallace is priority and the contract he gets should be easy to swallow in the first two seasons. I will have to give Jeremy a big raspberry here. lol I see where Jeremy is coming from and what he is trying to say, but I have to say that all of this is unlikely to happen.

What happens to players who REFUSE?

]]> Comment on Does Tight End Position Become A Draft Need Now In Light Of Saunders Possible Suspension? by Christina L Rivers http://www.steelersdepot.com/2012/02/does-tight-end-position-become-a-draft-need-now-in-light-of-saunders-possible-suspension/comment-page-1/#comment-14711 Christina L Rivers Wed, 08 Feb 2012 04:20:00 +0000 http://www.steelersdepot.com/?p=17210#comment-14711 Saunders was promising with good size and vertical leap ability, but his use of banned substances doesn't bode well with him remaining with the team if he can't stay clean. It's a shame because if he were more productive, the Steelers could easily use him as an additional receiver (like Miller) when needed. I am not sure that Saunders has the size to block off the line consistently however. 2011 was his rookie season, and he may have made a rookie mistake. The situation will be interesting over the next few weeks.

It's obvious that Roethlisberger likes Heath Miller, and that Miller opens up the running game because he blocks! David Johnson is not really as involved, and with Saunders under scrutiny, I would expect Haley to be looking at a tight end that could play halfback if needed. Johnson would be a good halfback if he were leaner and meaner. I would expect that the Steelers may look for a tight end on the free agent/futures contract list before the draft once they have the salary cap figured out.

The organization has done well in the past by restructuring contracts in order to alleviate their salary cap issues. Some cuts are inevitable, but every team faces the same tough decisions in the off-season. Some of those ‘expensive senior citizens’ are why the Steelers ended 12-4.

Apparently this decision came from the higher ups. Im sure they have alot of respect for Tomlin, but this was supposed to be his first major hire as far as coaching.

My hope is that we use a real fullback more often. These 2TE sets and/or hybrid H-back type players dictating offensive sets is crazy. Perhaps we could find a reasonable TE in the 3rd or 4th round, and a great fullback in the 5th or in FA. I doubt we pick up a TE early in the draft. My hope is that we use a real fullback more often.
