Good morning,
A closer look at some of the cuts:

--- They kept the two young outside linebackers, Jason Worilds and Thaddeus Gibson, the only backups on the outside with the release of Patrick Bailey. Neither is ready to play, though, so if there is an injury, Lawrence Timmons would move outside, one reason they started him there Thursday night...........

--- Among those who should be signed to the practice squad is Frank Summers, but I think the coaches should re-think how they use him. Summers is not a blocking back, he’s a runner, and the attempts to make him into a lead blocker did not go well. (thus maybe the earlier comments where he blames Ariens?) They should allow him to run. He did not have a carry in the preseason while Justin Vincent had 11 and Dwayne Wright, who was waived on the first cut last week, had eight carries. As a rookie, Summers had only three carries..............

For once I think Ed hit the nail on the head with his comments about Summers.

it could be worse. imagine if mcfadden was starting. statistically the 2nd most burned CB last season. the steelers now have the top 3 most burned CBs of 2009

quite a collection :sofunny:

with polamalu back maybe that will overcome the poor pool of CBs

Not to downplay Troy being back I think Aaron Smith will allow us to put more pressure up front and not expose these guys plus Troy covers the other DB's asses.

I agree...Smith is just as important. In the very little he played in the preseason, he was dominant.
Man I wish Smith was still in his early 20's and just starting his career with us....he will be very hard to replace when he hangs it up.
