The Steelers added five free agents today prior to the start of their annual minicamp, the team announced. The team added cornerback Keiwan Ratliff, punter Dirk Johnson, wide receivers Shaun McDonald and Jayson Foster, and kicker Piotr (peet-er) Czech.

Ratliff and McDonald I think end up staying, making the roster

Smooth Criminal · 05-01-2009, 12:26 PM

I love the Mcdonald signing. He's got great speed and played well in Detroit.

I don't see Ratliff making it.

I see our corners as Ike, G ay, DT, Lewis, Smokin Joe, and Madison.

Hines · 05-01-2009, 01:47 PM

First day of minicamp was today. I read that Dixon threw the ball very well and could unseat Batch for the backup job. I hope we dress Dixon because we could run the wildcat or just have him run the option with Mendenhall and/or Parker. I read Mendenhall has looked very, very good. I see Parker out soon. I hope Mendenhall gets the bulk of the carries. Sweed has gotten over his wrist injuries and is catching the ball very well. Should be the number 3 IMO.

I see our recieving corps being:

1. Holmes
2. Hines
3. Sweed
4. McDonald
5. Wallace

Very solid if you ask me. McDonald will come in on third down if we need a first down.

Stefan Logan looked good returning punts. Our special teams should be improved a lot this season. I think this could be a special season for us.

I thought this was interesting. Just something to look at when you are bored.

Hey Steelers fans, I was wondering do you know who will replace Marvel Smith? I checked on your site and they didnt have a depth chart up

Max Starks, he replaced him after he went down for the remainder of the season

Ravens1991 · 05-01-2009, 02:09 PM

I see so it wont be a big loss losing Smith. JW how your team will replace him for next year. I know we should be expecting 2-3 more exciting wars just like this past year when we face off.

Who is Jason Foster??

Everything looks pretty good. Nothing out of the ordinary. Nobody trying to grab a legends number. Although anytime anybody wears number 20, I think it is a sin. Barry Sanders wore #20.

brat316 · 05-01-2009, 03:35 PM

Jayson is a PS player, who has bounced around with the Steelers, Dolphins and Broncos. Instead of losing him I think they just decided to sign him.

NO! the number that no one should ever wear again is #58 (Jack Lambert) because that number was wore by the best football player ever.

terribletowel39 · 05-01-2009, 04:20 PM

I don't care if this gets me neg repped but Jack Lambert couldn't tackle Barry Sanders in a phonebooth. And I LOVE me some Jack Lambert. I have a t-shirt with is ugly grille on it. But just no. Barry Sanders made EVERYONE look silly.

steel man · 05-01-2009, 04:23 PM

all it would take is for Lambert to hit him one time and Barry would never run again

Mr. Goosemahn · 05-01-2009, 04:39 PM

and then Jordyzzzzzz Nelsonzzzzzzzzzz bitchslaps them both, runs over them both, and scores 31 td's in 1 quarter.

True story. :D

Mr. Goosemahn · 05-01-2009, 06:17 PM

First pictures of minicamp!

I only put pics of the new guys.

Evander "Ziggy" Hood:

Mike Wallace:

Keenan Lewis:

Frank "THE TANK" Summers:
(look at that freaking leg! it's a rock)

Ra'Shon "Sonny" Harris:

David Johnson:

Cedric Goodman:

skarocksoi · 05-01-2009, 06:40 PM

Sonny looks like he needs to hit the gym a little bit before he can make an impact on the D line. PS him or leave him on the active team and dont dress him?

Also, Wallace has a pointy head. More aerodynamic? Just throwing it out there.

Steelersfan4life · 05-01-2009, 06:47 PM

Not saying that I want this to happen, but do you see us turning to a 4-3 when Dick Lebeu retires? We took Ziggy who could be great in a 4-3, we are getting rid of Foote leaving only Farrior and Timmons, after Farrior leaves we don't have anthor MLB. And Mike Tomlin came from a 4-3 defense.

Hines · 05-01-2009, 06:53 PM

Keith Butler will be the DC and still run a 34 defense.

i feel like tomlin knows and is comfortable with the 34 now, i think as long as hes here, thats what we run

Our UDFA running back, Isaac Redman. For a big guy, he sure can move well. There are three videos, but he really impressed me in his first one. Could be be a gem?
