Just as it was last year when the plan for the Steelers in training camp was to go with the young guys at outside linebacker at the expense of James Harrison, so it the plan again this year.

Only this time around, it isn’t Bud Dupree and Jarvis Jones the Steelers plan on moving forward with. Now, it’s Dupree and T.J. Watt.

As we saw last season, the young guys didn’t get things done. Dupree suffered a sports hernia that required surgery in training camp and missed more than half the season.

And Jones failed in his last attempt as a starter, eventually getting pushed to the bench by Harrison.

The guess this time around, however, is that Harrison’s time on the bench sticks.

The Steelers know the 39-year-old can’t possibly have a lot left in the tank. At the very least, the Steelers aren’t sure what is left, as Porter told me Monday.

James Harrison will get all the snaps he can handle , so clearly the HC does not agree with Joey Porter on the dispersion of snaps and I back Tomlin 100% on this ...

Porter is a Position couch not the D coordinator or the head Coach so his input will be taken into consideration but he is far from the last word on play time
