There’s more than a few Steelers that will have to fight to make the roster once the 2011 season finally gets under way (whenever that is), and today we’re going to take a look at a couple players that could have issues being employed by the Steelers.
Limas Sweed – The former Texas WR is going to have issues making the roster for sure at the WR spot. He’s been known for big drops in big games (AFC Title Game in 2008), and last season he was hurt in the preseason and it cost him the whole year. With Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders playing big parts in last years Super Bowl run, Sweed could easily be on the outside looking in.

What about Tony Hills and Charlie Batch? Hills is one of the biggest draft busts the Steelers have had in the past decade, and Batch is, well as old as the hills…
Of the players on this list, I think Randle El, Dixon, and Foote will be back, but Sweed, and Fox have seen their last days in a Steelers uniform. Sweed would have been cut coming out of training camp last year if not for his injury. Fox signed his exit forms by taking that stupid penality in the Super Bowl.
Who do the Steelers keep on defensive line, Aaron Smith, still recovering from the tricep tear and entering his 13th NFL season, or Nick Eason?

i think dennis dixon could be moved on. randle el while aged, can be used as an extra qb, can make catches, and is good on special teams. there’s more than 5, as i think mike t. will work every one to see who gives their all, and those who are o-k. he’s got a rough job to determine who stays, as i’m sure these players do go all out to make it, but durability is always a gray area.

I hope Keyaron Fox that hot headed stupid idiot will be gone. Look at what that idiot did in the super bowl. That stupid penalty took us back from the 28 to the 5. Then Ben completes a 25 or so yarder, with out Fox we would have been in GBs territory and really had them back on their heels with about 1:30 remaining.
That mound of dog excrement better be gone–same with sweed who is useless!

What did I say before even getting to this section of this overall article?????
With Woodson out for GB who is really the only smart player in that defense, we would have won that game if it wasn’t for Mr. I’m a slave Fumbles-his middle name Mendenhall.
