whats duce set to make next season?

I know Hartings is out there without knee cartilage, but has he played so poorly this year that it wouldn't warrant signing him for another year?...until they are certain of a true replacement.

The Stillers need another RB. As much as I like Willie, I think he may have fumblitis. Healthy Duce? He has missed too many games over the last couple years to ever play at a level remotely resembling his days in Phily.

Hartings is already signed. The problem is it's for some astronomical amount. Like $4-5 mil. If he takes some pay cut, IMO, he'll be here another year. Of course, if they win Sunday he may just retire.

That's it for my off-season talk until after Sunday. I will start that talk after I'm done partying or crying in my Rock. Whichever is appropriate.

Hartings has to go.

I like El, all the gadget plays the Steelers can do with him. They could let El go and Pick up Robinson from Penn State, he has amazing athletic ability and can throw and is taller the EL, which would be nice.

They could scrap Duce and pick up a back like Lendale, that would be great, but they would have to move up the first round a bit. Duce will never stay healthy. I like WIlly but he is not going to carry it 25 times. He shoudl talk to TOm Coughlin, who cured Tiki's fumbilitis. The only issue I see with Lendale is that he compained about Reggie Bush in front of him. I am all for a player wanting the ball, but he has to be a team guy, I don't thin USC suffered to much.

I like Cedric and Quincy too. Quincy has dropped some balls though, like in the San Diego game on the Sideline. But he is agood return guy and is fast.

I would like to see a power back and a Tall Wideout picked up hence Lendale and Robinson. I don't think Robinson will be picked up in the firts round but you never know.

up. the season is now over(minus pro bowl).

I wouldn't be comfortable with Parker as my starting RB, but I haven't watched him as much as you fags have. My worst nightmare is Baltimore letting Jamal walk, then he returns to form after you guys sign him.

Randle El will be a hot commodity in the FA market. Someone will over pay for him. Not exactly sure why so many teams are so high on him . He seems like a good utility guy, but a lot of Bears and Skins fans want him as their #2.

Isn't Porter a FA? He needs to kill someone and get locked up already.

How's your cap situation?

We need to pick up a Starting RB that can run anywhere between 25-30 carries a game. Thats not Parker, Parker is a specialized runner. He doesn't have the ability to go that far.

I would love to keep Antwan, I like the demention he gives the Steelers, not only the gadget plays but he isn't afraid to go over the middle or block when needed.

We need either an OL or Center to be groomed for Hartings. Hartings needs to stay atleast 1 more yr for them to teach the guy the position.

If we can get Martin Nance in the 2nd or 3rd round I say go for it. He knows how Ben throws and Ben know how he runs routes.

Willie has his place but an upgrade at RB is essential IMO.

if just to replace Staley/Bettis a RB is needed.
