Ike Taylor out

[yellowxdiscipline]

Why would we wish him out, he couldnt cover AJ Green when he is healthy to begin with.

Well finally a Bengal fan that can see the truth. Miracles do happen.

Looks like they attempted to bring him in for a workout.

Stanford Routt reportedly signs with Houston Texans - NFL.com

Why the eff did he sign with Houston when he could have been a Pittsburgh Steeler.

Given some playing time I don't think Allen is bad. He is no shut down for sure but LeBeau has schemes that help struggling corners out when they need it. Ike gives up big plays too.

Truly a devastating loss. Seriously, weren't Steelers fans calling for his head after he got called for like 300 pass interference calls in 2 weeks or something? I mean, he cost them at least 3 games with that crap.

That was me.

I think Ike's been overrated for the last three or four years. Just my opinion.

Allen did good work in a sudden role Sunday. We'll have to see how he does with a full week's practice as the starter.

On top of all that, what about all the INT's dalton throws... cant forget about that.

Apparently not.

Steelers Blog | Tomlin likes what he sees from young corners

How does a cornerback return in two weeks after a fractured ankle?

If Ike owns AJ, then let him cover him man with no safety help.

Cortez Allen replaced Taylor and struggled, giving up a long pass interference penalty and a 28-yard touchdown to Ravens wideout Anquan Boldin. Taylor's health and Allen's struggles likely played a large role in the team's reported decision to bring in former Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Stanford Routt for a workout this week.

So you are quoting a blog and I am quoting an article. Funny how I have been told that blogs aren't reliable, in fact I believe you were one of those that said blogs are meaningless.

So tell us again where in your quote above does it say Tomlin has no faith in Allen?

It says that he struggled, so did Taylor. They routinely bring in easy signings and work guys out when losing someone in a key position to injury. It is how good football teams work.

What lines would those be? Did we bring guys in to work out when Ben got hurt? Did we bring guys in to work out when we lost Brown? Wow, Tomlin must have no faith in our other recievers!!

You infer meaning out of nothing and are wrong on a consistent basis but hey, at least you have consistency going for you.

You are funny. Allen can cover a guy just fine, as long as he can get away with defensive holding or pass interference. Oh and you have been wrong plenty of times yourself, you are just not man enough to admit it.

So how is it again Tomlin has no faith in him?

Oh, YOU don't have faith in him, now I got it. Why not just come out and say that.

Why does Polamalu look like a sissy in that picture?

I like Polamalu; I like his drive and the way he plays the game - but he seriously looks like he gave up in that picture.

I think at the time he explained that he thought Clark had a play for an interception.

You are correct, I fudged.

He put his arms up to support AJ while Aj caught the ball

I sincerely do like Polamalu, as he's a Trojan and all, but he seriously looks like a little ***** right there...

That would explain why green was able to catch it.

Maybe he just knew he couldn't jump that high.

Or his brain is so much mush that he forgot where he was at the time.

Samoan boys can't jump either? Nah.

Forgot where he was...that must be it. Explains why green was able to catch it.
