So here's a thought. What if the Steelers ship a second round pick and Larry Foote, who might lose his job next season to Timmons, to the Bengals for Chad Johnson? Ben will get his tall receiver and the offense just became much more dynamic. A better receiving core like this,(Johnson at SE, Holmes at FL, and Ward in the slot) could help out the O line with less pressure coming. Then lets see where the offense finishes next season.

I think it was a bad call in that situation, desinged roll out and QB keeper. Then giving up the scramble on 4th & 2. None of it happens though if the SPECIAL TEAMS don't surrender so much real estate. The Biggest 3rd Down conversion they needed to make, they failed to: 3rd & 6 in the Playoff Loss.
