you guys are a little crazy. Rey is anything but a "stud" inside backer... money would be more wise spent elsewhere... you know who id really like to somehow in a miracle be able to get who would be a star for us is Dashon Goldson from San Fran. hardest hitter in the entire NFL. completely ruins lives out their hes amazing to watch

[BigBenhotness]

Really what our team needs boils down to two things.
1.Healthy Ben
2.Discipline

[BigBenhotness]

Would you take any of these guys for Mike Wallace?
1. Aldon Smith
2.Tim Jennings
3.Von Miller
4. Aaron Rodgers lol

Dwyer is starting, Mendy is 3rd string

Good Good. I see Ravens Run Defense has really stepped up. This could spell trouble. We had our chance two weeks ago

We tried the dink and dunk offense to keep Ben on his feet, but even that succeeded. He is battered now from one freak hit.

Fixed

I like that....Lewis as a SS and Clark as a FS....two of the top hitting safeties...heck yeah. We would need another Corner though, don't know where to start for that. Even if Ben plays this Sunday...outcome looks bleak. Baltimore actually looks elite at M&T. They find ways to win when they shouldn't (San Diego, Kansas)

Will Allen has been playing well at SS and Lewis well at corner. Why change Lewis' position, and why bench Allen?

Because everything I type is illogical. lol, I don't know. Steelers secondary is not the problem. Its creating pressure on the defensive line and O line.

Keenan Lewis has been playing great. And Ike. We can use a safety opposite Clark, but don't move the corners. We haven't had this level of play there in ... forever.

The only thing our defense differs from people calling it elite is splash plays. We have a great defense...just creating no turnovers and having turnovers kills us.

Jennings is the only one the other tams wouldn't hang up laughing for

While we may have overreacted a bit, it does appear Tomlin isn't happy with Wallace's performances lately.

Tomlin on starting QB vs Ravens:
Right now Charlie Batch is our quarterback,” said Tomlin. “We are working offensively to put together a plan to complement his strengths"

Does that mean we punt on 1st down?

No it means we just give them a win

The defense has allowed one field goal drive to each team apiece in the past two games. Otherwise, every score has happened on special teams or due to a short field caused by turnovers by the offense.

Turnovers are at MOST four or so plays of an entire game. I hate comparing players or teams by those. We are tied with the 49ers for allowing the least yards per play at 4.5. We're the only team allowing less than 6 yards per play on pass plays, and even the run defense has stepped up and is now 4th in yards per rush. These are numbers that measure every snap of the season, not 20 or so.

I love this defense, especially the secondary.

Tomlin was then asked if he has seen anything less than 100% effort from his receiver and he said "no."

...Wallace was indeed frustrated on Sunday and rightfully so as Tomlin put it. Quarterback Charlie Batch underthrew the wide receiver several times in the game both short and deep.

Talks about how Wallace isn't happy with it either. Also stresses the fact that Wallace is not entirely to blame, does not dictate how good or bad of a receiver he is compared to Brown or Sanders, and certainly is not what makes him expendable.
