Carnell Lake was the AFC DPOY in 1997, 5x pro bowl selection and a member of the 1990's All-Decade team. The dude was a great player and I really hope that it translates to coaching.

I think I would rather have Keith Butler take over after LeBeau retires, but it's good to see a former Steeler try to shore up our worst area on defense

Keith Butler is already being offered DC jobs in other cities. He turned one down in Miami, and is being pursued by Arizona right now. Point is Butler won't be around when Dick retires. If I was a betting man I'd say our next DC would be John Mitchell. But I'd like to believe Dick is going to be our DC until he dies at 102 yrs old, and by that time Carnell Lake will be ready. Take that last statement with a grain of salt BTW, Dick could live forever.



edit: The reason I'm fantasizing about Lake as the DC down the line is he was coached by Lebeau, and played the same position as Lebeau, played like Lebeau. He was one of my favorite Steelers when I was a kid, and it just feels right having him come home to coach for us. I really hope he becomes a special coach for us.

idk about lake being DC, but him as DB coach is a plus. we have sucked ass in pass D for the last 5 years and without tryoy it is almost unwatchable. this is a good move IMO. now if we can get rid of arians I will be happy.

Lake as our future DC is just wishful thinking. More like a pipe dream. I really hope he can do something for our DB's, but I'd be much much happier if we would have signed Rod Woodson before he went off to Oakland. It's our corners that need major improvement anyhow. But I think we have a lack of talent at CB mostly, so maybe if we can sign and/or draft a starter and/or extra depth we'd be good don't you? I hope we can do something because it's our weakness.

you use we and our way too many times for a guy in his 30s.

You have absolutely nothing to do with the team. You are just a spectator. Try to grasp that.

We pay for tickets, merchandise, watch the games etc. if not for the fans there would be no NFL

you are an outsider looking at something you have no control over. There is no -we- involved. Buying merch- and rooting for a team will not change the outcome of a game.

I'm very happy we retained Mewelde Moore, and Sepulveda. Kinda don't give a crap about CB Gay though. Ike Taylor was our most important pickup of the off season and we got him, that's good. I wish we would just stop fucking around and finally sign a worthwhile cornerback.

I'm pretty happy Colon refused the Bears offer of 3 yrs $31 mil, and re-upped with us at 3 yrs $28 mil. We saved $3 mil and got a solid RT. I could care less if we let go Flozell Adams though.

I wished we would go out and grab Cromartie but we won't give the $$$$ dollas up... not to mention he is a Nole!

Yeah, that would be sick! I know we won't get a name like Cromartie, but I just hope we can get a guy that can run with somebody.

 

[Shayn•Da•Pain]

Damn, the injury bug is a bitch. I very much hope we don't continue to have injury problems. Last week was brutal.

 

[KnightNoles]

Just gotta get Pouncey, Ike and McFadden healthy

 

[Bmore]

2 weeks away...

You guys come into Baltimore and leave 0-1.

Pouncy will be fine. He might miss the first two games, his injury was minor.

Ike, McFadden, and now Lewis piss me off. Our weakest position is CB, and we're down to starting our 4th and 5th string QB's now. Ike and McFadden need to come back ASAP!

So what happened to this thread? Ben going to treat the Ravens like they were locked in a bathroom stall with him. Excited.
