Rejuvenated Keisel nice addition for Steelers

[stillers4me]

Brett Keisel is feeling good, even young again.

At 33, the veteran defensive end has seemingly rediscovered the explosiveness that made him a permanent fixture on the defensive front the past decade. He terrorized the Jacksonville Jaguars last weekend, especially in the fourth quarter with the Steelers clinging to a precarious 17-13 lead.

Keisel slammed the door on the upset-minded Jaguars with his second quarterback sack. It was like old times for an aging lineman who accepted his first Pro Bowl selection in 2010 as affirmation of a career defined mostly by his reliability.

"Brett's had a lot of great games for us," said defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau. "That was one of his better games."............

Signed thru 2014, how long can he keep Cameron Heyward off the field. He became a starter in 2005.

"The next step is picking one off and taking it to the crib," he said.

I think Hood and Keisel will obviously start, with more of Heyward rotating in and when we get some NT's back, I expect to see Steve McClendon work in at DE also. I like the youth and performance of our DE's going forward.

[Craic]

I remember when there was talk about him maybe being on the cutting block. If I remember right, he was bounced back and forth between OLB and DE. The problem was, he kept putting on and then taking off the weight for those positions. I'm glad that he's turned out the way he has for us.

Does anyone else remember that about Keisel?

I wonder if he is soaking his beard in the fountain of youth.

I will be sad when he hangs it up.

Remember the beard doesn't have the mileage on it that "big snack" and Aaron do. Keisel didn't start until after his 3rd or 4th season.

[Austin87]

Kinda funny how some people called him old and washed up in the beginning of the season. He's having a good season so far.

He has been playing great so far this season, and also am very excited about our young guys.
