Problem is, even at his peak- Ike was never that GREAT at sticking to his man.

This is simply not true. Ike had about a 4 year period where he covered every teams #1 reciever side line to side line and shut them down a good 95% of the time.

Ike was a good CB. He may be a good safety if we would move him...

very true, he could lock down just about anyone in the mid 2000's. I appreciate his career contribution to the team, his approach to the game and professional demeanor. Wish him the best in whatever he does after football. And knowing the type of worker he seem to be, he'll be the guy that will be super-successful with whatever he does in life.

He wouldn't be a ball hawk that's for sure

I dunno he had a solid run, but I believe this goose is cooked.

Bell rushed on the right side 8 times for 10 yards. Adams was horrible against the Saints and got a lot of help against the bungles. They ran away from him 18 times where Bell got all but 10 of his yards. Also against the Saint they didn't run ONCE outside on the right side. They ran 2 off RT for 7 yards. So the idea that the running game has been lights out since Adams came in is based on what exactly? They ran the ball for 104 yards against the Saints... is that lights out? Adams was so bad against the Saints that one site had a break down of how bad he played.

As an aside, Jaworski was on Mike and Mike this morning and said the Steelers ran 10 counter plays to the left, with DeCastro pulling, for 138 yards and 2 touchdowns. DeCastro may well turn out to be as good as we were all hoping he'd be.

I'm all for shoving it down their throat, until they stop it. Remeber the 70s, some on the offense would give the defense the play cause they knew they couldn't be stopped !!!! Coarse looking back, it was probably all thjose steroids they were using



Salute the nation

DeCastro is looking like OG they were talking about when we got him, the next coming of Faneca/Hutchinson.

agree, Scott. Mitchell needs to learn quickly....he is lost often

I dont know whats up with our "safeties." We have given up several huge pass plays this season. I think our safeties need to play and stay deeper.
