Late in the game, the color commentary guy mentioned that the Bills WRs were up against "40 years of experience" in the Steelers' secondary, and I realized with a start that they *are* getting a little long in the tooth.
They're certainly not so old that it's affecting their play, but it's probably a good time to prepare for the passing of the torch.
The Strong Safety position
Troy is in his 11th year and playing at the highest level in years. It appears that Shamarko Thomas is the answer going forward, which is good... because our #3 in that spot is Will Allen; in his 10th year.
Free Safety
Ryan Clark is still a beast in his 12th year, and he's lost a step. Robert Golden is his current backup (2 years), and I'm not sure about him.
Right Cornerback
Swaggin' is in his 11th year, and I don't see him playing at this level for very much longer. We have 2 young guys in the depth chart behind him. Not sure if Curtis Brown is the man going forward or not.
Left Cornerback
Willie Gay is the youngest starter, at 7 years. Not old, and a good backup in Cortez Allen (3 years). This is the one position that's not begging for attention.
I wonder if the F/O is going to be proactive about this, and if so, what they have in mind.
