Worth exploring. Yeah, I agree with the Bettis part 2 idea.killer_ewok;1151890 wrote:Read some tweets about this exact idea earlier. Bettis part 2? As you said, doubtful it happens for the reasons you mentioned but I would love it.
Lot of mileage on those legs...sure you would want to give up a lot for him? Tough schedule full of bruising defenses....Non;1151902 wrote:Worth exploring. Yeah, I agree with the Bettis part 2 idea.
Just give the Rams a bunch of picks this year and next year to rebuild their roster.
Just from watching him I think he still has some good years left. He would probably be re-charged going to more of a playoff team.wes_mantooth;1151908 wrote:Lot of mileage on those legs...sure you would want to give up a lot for him? Tough schedule full of bruising defenses....

Plus he catches 40-50 passes a season which helps a QB like Roethlisberger who gets a lot of pass rush.
I'd be cool with it if the Steelers took a run at Jackson.
True, and the Steelers had to struggle to get under the cap to begin with.wes_mantooth;1151917 wrote:Yeah, he would be good for a couple years fo sho. I wonder how it work contract wise...he is bitching and moaning about getting a new contract. I wonder if he would play for his current pay or if it would have to get reworked...no matter where he went.

Maybe Haley's offense will incorporate that a little bit more. STeelers used to be a great screen team, but almost went to the well too often and now it pretty much doesnt exist.
Will be interesting how the new scheme workds
Probably. Would be nice if the feature back would get more swing passes and such. It is such a huge weapon and with the pressure teams put on BR that is just a killer for a defense.Non;1153339 wrote:I think Baron Batch -- who they drafted in the 7th round -- will be a good pass-catching back. Although he's probably going to fill more of a Mewelde Moore type role than as any kind of feature back.
I'm usually more up on the draft but not this year. After the first couple rounds I'm going to be searching for some info on a lot of these guys.thavoice;1153773 wrote:Probably.

I cannot name 10 guys draft eligible, so I dont know who they should get, but MiLB, OL is always a great place to start. RC and TP are getting up there......may need some good secondary help. Can never have too many DBs in this pass happy league
That should take QB out of the equation in this draft.killer_ewok;1154053 wrote:Steelers signed Leftwich to a 1-year deal today.
