2013 starting line-up

[uclkyle]

This is my best guess at the 2013 opening day starting line-up (not counting injuries)...

QB - Big Ben
RB - Mendenhall (yes, I think he actually comes back for cheap and is motivated)
FB - David Johnson
WR - A. Brown
WR - E. Sanders
TE- Heath
C-Pouncey
G- DeCastro
G- Colon
T- M. Adams
T- Gilbert

NT- McClendon (I think they move on from Hampton)
DE- Hood
DE- Keisel (maybe Heyward, but doubtful)
OLB- Worilds (Harrison is gone)
OLB- Woodley
ILB- S. Spence (Foote gone)
ILB- Timmons
CB- Lewis
CB- Taylor (I WISH they move on from this bum, but they won't)
S- Clark
S- Troy (one or two more years)

Yea that's about right BUT half of them will be injured just from doing some stretches and will miss a month or so.
This team right now will never be on the field at the same time, don't tell no one, but they are soft.

Offense

QB - Ben
HB - Knile Davis (R) - Arkansas / Le'Veon Bell (R) - Michigan State
FB - Will Johnson
WR - Manny Sanders
WR - AB
WR - Robert Woods (R) - USC
TE - Paulson / Heath as a torn ACL - that's 12 months, usually.
LT - Starks
LG - Foster
C - Pouncey
RG - DeCastro
RT - Adams

Defense

ROLB - Dion Jordan (R) - Oregon
DE - Heyward
NT - McLendon
DE - Hood / with the possibility of Alameda Ta'amu or McLendon if they beat out Ziggy for this spot.
LOLB - Woodley
ILB - Nico Johnson (R) - 'Bama
ILB - Timmons
CB - Swaaaaaaginnn U
CB - Lewis
FS - Clark
SS - Troy (as much as I don't like it)

My dream defensive line would look something like:

Jordan (ROLB) - Heyward (RDE) - Ta'amu (NT) - McLendon (LDE) - Woodley (LOLB)

I don't think Taylor is a bum and absolutely no way are they starting a rookie let alone 2 at ROLB or ILB. Other than that, sounds pretty accurate. Hope Heath is ready by September!

David Johnson.......NO!
Will Johnson did an admirable job this year for a rookie.
Hits hard, doesn't whiff on blocks as much and has better hands.

I honestly believe the Steelers should sign Wallace to a one year deal to see how he adjusts to the playbook after one more year to learn it and to see if he can become an all around wide-receiver instead of just being a deep threat.

This is my Line-Up
QB - Big Ben
RB - Mendenhall
FB - David Johnson
WR - Wallace
WR - Brown
TE- Heath (If he's back from his injury on time)
C-Pouncey
G- DeCastro
G- 2nd Round Draft Pick or Foster (We should cut Colon, he never stays healthy & draft a 2nd round guard to learn from the experienced linemen and have him start if there's any injuries.)
T- Starks (he'll be back at least one more year)
T- Adams or Gilbert (They'll see who does better in preseason.)

NT- McClendon or Hood (I think they move on from Hampton)
DE- Hood or Heyward
DE- Keisel
OLB- Harrison (They'll give him a chance to get healthy over the offseason)
OLB- Woodley
ILB- Foote (If he doesn't retire)
ILB- Timmons
CB- Lewis
CB- Taylor (Our best Corner will be back)
S- Clark
S- Polamalu

The fact this idiot "uclkyle" called Taylor a bum is crazy, he's our best corner and you see exactly what happened to our secondary without him.

Hey OP. FYI The reason we didn't make the playoffs was because Ike got hurt. He started out poorly but was a monster in the middle part of the season. Our pass defense was awesome for at least half the season. As soon as Ike went out, our season went down the drain.

[pittpete]

Don't think theres a chance in hell we resign Mendy on this team
DJ Johnson, I hope not, Will Johnson could actually run
Starks needs to be here next year
Lewis needs to be here also
Wallace can go play for Miami or STL
Colon will be starting again due to $$$ reasons I'm pretty sure
I think Fosters going due to him signing for more $$$
Unless Harrison is 95% healthy by next year its time to say goodbye
Hopefully Spence is recovered and can share time with Foote due to no other ILB's on this team worth a crap
Mundy can go also
Woodley needs to come in 20lbs lighter and in good shape

Ike Taylor is possibly the worst player in Steeler history.
