Thanks, I started being a Steelers fan during the 93/94 season :)

One thing that worries me about zones is Troy's tendency to get caught cheating to the line. Man, if that were just a little bigger he'd be a hell of an LB, wouldn't he?

I too think they certainly will sign him, actually Ike has a great relationship with Rooney, I read an article a few months back about it, but they get long very well.

I wasn't trying to compare Ike and Rod, I was just trying to make the point that Ike plays way better when he's manned up on a guy compared to how he plays in their base package (which is zone). Woodson was just an example of a guy that played well in both cases.

Ike hasnt done all that bad this year. The Manning to Harrison TD was IMO the only big mistkaes he's made all year. what more can u ask for in a corner? he's still young and learning. give him 2-3 more years, and he'll be a shut down cb like champ bailey.

Beat me to it, he has been for a few games. I like Ike.

Yeah I agree that he lines up man on man enough, he have to many alignments to show man on man too much
