When I saw he was released yesterday i was like now there is someone who would help the position. But with two to three options on the roster I wondered if the Steelers would bite.

This isn't Colbert's Steelers this GM and crew is hungry!

I must have read more than five stories how the Steelers should go after King and BAM, here we are. Solid upgrade and from what I read, a lot of teams were interested.
 
I think there were a couple of guys that might be better than him out there, but I’m guessing they will want more money
 
I have to admit, I have a lot of trouble predicting and projecting slot CBs because team philosophy is very different from team to team in that area… some want blanket coverage and some systems are more based on letting up the completion and making a quick tackle.. hard to really tell who fits where sometimes, but i like that he cam play inside and out

Who were you interested in? Yeah the Steelers aren't shelling out significant money to a backup or part time player. But would any cut at this point really demand significant money?

Great signing! Still fairly young at 28, like what wouldn’t I give up to be 28 again. Former all pro in 2018. I like it!
Now let’s move a punter please. I’m leaning towards keeping the other guy Mann since Pressly lacks consistency but did have a nice summer.

I think Pressly beat him out. But I think something will be done with one of them really soon.
 
Had a 73.2 PFF rating last year. Seems to be a guy who can play all over the secondary. Wonder if we dump the punter or a guy like Riley.

A lot of what the Steelers are doing reminds me of what the Pats did when they first had Brady. Signed a lot of savvy vets and played team football. The Pats weren't fancy but you were hard pressed to find a weakness. Defense was top 5, running game was solid, passing game came up with big plays when needed. It was a team you had to play perfect football on all aspects to beat. I wouldn't mind 5 years of that type of football in Pittsburgh.
 
I just saw that Mann was released.

If it wins I’m all for playing that way ALL the time!
