Steelers linebacker Larry Foote.



It was, Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau said this week, "one of the best and happiest days of my life." Aug. 7? Absolutely. That was the night he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. May 21, 2009? Of course. The Steelers visited the White House and President Barack Obama singled him out by name. Feb. 1, 2009? You bet. The Steelers survived the Arizona Cardinals to win Super Bowl XLIII. Feb. 5, 2006? Sure. The Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks to become Super Bowl XL champions.

Farriors slow and this should be his last year. Foote is a good backup, period. We need a young player to step in!

i think foote will take over farriors slot next year as the mastermind. good read i am glad he is back

[SteelTheOne]

Foote is a 2 down linebacker already. We need some youth and speed in the position.

I'm liking what I'm seeing from Stevenson Sylvester so far on Special Teams. Could he be our next ILB?

I agree. I liked what I saw of him in preseason too. He looks like he's a player.

I agree too, from what I've seen.
