Maybe it's just me, but do you think he's coming back next season? I dunno if Tomlin/Arians want him. After all, he did lose his starting job. What do you think?

The Steelers need to fix the center problem. Mahan is a huge liability. 2. Marvel is OK, but there are a lot of LTs available this year in the draft. 3. Steelers need a viable return man. 4. Timmons needs to replace either Foote of Farrior to get more speed in the middle of the D to counter the really good TEs. 5. Woodley will be a beast. 6. Krieder does cover some OL mistakes. I know everyone likes the physical running game, but they were doing pretty well this year until FWP went down. I think this years offense was really good (except for the QB boot call) and that they will be even better next year, barring injuries. They would be wise to add a big reciever so the fade actually works...but you can't have it all. You would not need coaches if you could. 1. The Steelers need to fix the center problem.
