When it comes to cornerback Brandon Boykin, the Pittsburgh Steelers fan base has seemingly eager anticipated his debut far more than the coaching staff. After the front office acquired him for a conditional fifth-round draft pick during training camp, he has been unable to crack the starting nickel package. Boykin did not log a snap during the season opener in New England, one of just three defensive players that were active out of 23 who did not play on defense..............

Seems like Boykin may be fitting right in with this unit...hall having a hard time. No doubt that this team needs to acquire two,experienced CBs going forward to 2016...and from the looks of things, it's a good thing they didn't waste money on Byron Maxwell in 2015...

Hoping they all can improve again this week. Don't need superstars at this point, I would settle for average and not giving up the big plays. Our pressure is looking like it will get better throughout the season, so that should help.

Don't need superstars, but need competence...

I likey...:thumbsup:

except it doesn't look like Boykin will see 60% of the defensive snaps this season, so we'll only give up a 5th rounder for him.

I know your kidding, but the kid I thing I will be pushing this year is Su'a (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/2061070/sua-cravens) Cravens. If we could possible pick us Andrews in the second round that would be a hell of a start. I know, I know, it's still early.

Indeed. I like Cravens, too.

As anyone who has seen me post on message boards knows, I have a "thing" for safeties. Matt Elam, Déone Bucannon... and now, any mixture of the FSU safeties, Karl Joseph, and/or Su'a Cravens woukd make me happy.
