Everyone always talks about our d-line. Can someone tell me what is so good about them? Just cause you're drafted in the first round doesn't mean you are an elite d-line. How many times did we see these guys get run over or unable to get to the passer? Or rush out of their lanes? Ron called it being "immature." This is the most overrated group in the NFL. Average, middle of the road d-line.

Yeah he's one of those 2 face fools that we all know at least one of... All cool with you until you leave the room.

I don't think it's that hot of a take from RG3, if enough things break our way I think the ceiling of this team could be high. SB high? Not sure about that, but making some noise in the playoffs maybe? Yeah I could see that.

So, 5 days away from first session of OTAs, and 3 weeks from mandatory mini camp... we're still not going to sign any ILBs ?

There was a report that said they are content at LB

Rivera also acknowledged the need “Well, I think if we’re looking at one position, it is gonna be linebacker,” Rivera said. “We have a good number of guys here. We’re very pleased with the number of guys we have here, but we don’t have another veteran-type guy once we get past Khaleke [Hudson], so right now, we’re just too deep. We’d like to get a few more guys to be a bit deeper there.”

I don't see how they would be ok with not being able to line up a base 4-3 defense (I know, lot of nickel, but we still play some base defense), and being one injury away from one your starting LBs being Brian Ketchup...

Ron can't publicly say they're paper thin at LB, and maybe he doesn't think they are as thin as I think they are, otherwise he would've acted earlier on this. But I still got hope they are aware they can't start the season like that.

[Chief X_Phackter]

Still a lot of time to sign a LB.

[MTK]

Any free agent worth signing is playing chicken right now with potential teams. They're in no rush to sign before training camp.

Shit - Bradberry to the Eagles. That’s the last team I wAnted to see sign him. Shit.

Efe Obada 6’6” 265 plays big and physical, athletic DE. He looks promising as a back up to provide depth. Born in Nigeria and raised in the Netherlands and United Kingdom, he was the first international player to go straight from a European league to the NFL.

Can't help but think if Holcomb goes down they are screwed.

Can't help but think Bostic could return as a backup, coaches love him

They gotta add a linebacker who can contribute on the field and we need depth as well.

[skinsfan69]

So many media people talk about these guys like they're the front 4 of the Steelers. Have they actually seen these guys play? We had way better d-lines here during Gibbs 1. Even Gibbs 2. All this talk about breaking Manley and Mann's sack record. blah blah. Manley would have made the HOF had he not had his off the field issues.

They need to stop living off draft pick status and start to take over games when the games are on the line. Until then it's just a bunch of hot air.

I knew they were just an average group when they were dominated by Tampa in the playoffs. They flat out didn't show up and they were easily dominated, pushed around all game long. Chase was dominated. Tampa ran for like 150 yards and they rolled up over 500. You rarely see 500+ yards of offense in the NFL. That game rolled right over into the next season.. Terrible of 3rd downs... And Del Rio? Not impressed at all.

[Chief X_Phackter]

Yep, they were less than impressive in that playoff game - and when they played an actual starting QB for that matter. They have potential as a unit, but that potential hasn't been realized as of yet. Still holding out hope that they can bring it all together this year. I think the continuity in the secondary and being healthy up front will go a long way towards realizing that potential.

[Chief X_Phackter]

It wouldn't be the worst thing, but I am still holding out hope that they are able to bring in a guy like AJ Johnson.
