What are you looking forward to?

I am really excited about having Troy and A.Smith back.

And also our CB depth is really something to get excited about. Hopefully one of the young guys can come through this year and play at a high level.

Would be interesting to see what Leftwich can do during the first 4 games.

Good thread

Lots of good posts...

For me---

The Return of Troy

Wallace stepping up---I think we will see that he CAN get open, even with more attention from the opposing defenses

Mendy and Dwyer---could be a devastating tandem

Ben---forget the bullshit. Play ball.

and a lot more;
But I'll just sum it up-----7th

I don't think you have to worry about that he will be one of the biggest steals of the draft.

I sorta mentioned it in the original post...but I am REAL interested in the backup OLB position. Obviously Woodley and Harrison have the starting OLB positions locked up, but with the drafting of Worilds and Gibson, you have to wonder what they are going to do about backups.

I dont think either player can be put on the PS without being picked up by another team...but do we really want to go into the season with two rookies behind the starters?

I think this may be the case. With Foote and Fox as ILB backups, we can always fall back on Timmons versatility as an ILB/OLB to start on the outside in a pinch.

It will be interesting to see how it works out.

ok im gonna say it i'd love to see a pony backfield....

1. Troy getting back and helping our secondary wreak havoc on opposing QB's

2. Mendy, Heath, and Wallace having the best seasons of their careers

3. Our LB's kicking some serious boo-tay!

4. Lefty holding down the fort until Ben's return (with a little help from Dixon)

5. Special teams actually learning to tackle!

6. Basically...returning to what made Steeler football Steeler football (hard running game, kick a**, nasty D)

7. Lombardi #7

[SteelerSal]

I'm looking forward to;

1. Improved special teams- new sp teams coach and players

2. O-line improvement- new o-line coach

3. How our offense will respond with either Lefty or Dixon

4. How Ben will respond to all the negatives he will recieve

5. If mendy can continue where he left off and if Dwyer can be a great breather for him

6. If Wallace can be a #1 or #2 wr

7. If the defense can stay healthy and hungry

I'm looking forward to the start of the season.
This offseason has taken forever and is one I'd prefer to forget about and move on from.

You know....after reading the majority of these posts, it looks like the Steelers Universe would really like to start the season with us kicking off....the opposing return man fielding the ball..taking two steps either way and....GETTING SERIOUSLY DE-CLEATED BY OUR ST's!!!!!!!!!

Now THAT would be a great way to start the season!!!!!!

The things they have to be important for the steelers in 2010.

1.What Leftwith plays well to the absence of Roethlisberger

2.What Roethlisberger plays well when he will return to the game

3.The performance of Wallace and Mendenhall will be very important steelers and I trust they will play!

4.What the defense once again become the best in the NFL!

5.What Polamalu will not hurt!

6.What defense creates more turnover.

7.What defense is not as bad as in 2009 to 4th quart!
