As Chargers coach Norv Turner was preparing to play the Steelers (http://triblive.com/sports/steelers/) several weeks ago, he pulled out the game plan from three seasons ago. For a moment, he thought there was a mistake.

The names of the Steelers players, with one or two exceptions, were the same.

“They have guys that have played 10 years, 11 years, nine years, six years, 11 years and so on,” Turner said. “It is well documented. There is a reason they are as good as they are.”

What the Steelers (7-8) are attempting to determine going into their season-ending game against the Browns (5-10) Sunday at Heinz Field is why this season turned out as badly as it did — and what must happen to make sure it doesn‘t occur again...........

"Other likely departures: backup quarterbacks Charlie Batch and Byron Leftwich (Batch is the more likely of the two to stay)"

Charlie can still manage a game. I expect him to be our 3rd next year.........and probably win the game if his name is called, or die trying!

I think letting James go would be a mistake. He's still the best linebacker on the team, regardless of his age. Lawrence stepped up this season, but isn't as good as a healthy James Harrison.

On a side note, if Lawerence becomes a little bit more consistent and get just a little bit better at making reads, I think we found our next playmaker on defense.
