From a CBs perspective the last play never existed, but to K. Lewis he'd let the last play follow him around from play to play. I believe K. Lewis is a C. Scott type CB meaning if he's a starter he'll get you at least 4-6 Ints, but we'll get beat for just as many TDs. |
K. Lewis is the best tackling CB on the team, which is why I think he should be moved to SS. |
I dont agree but i think he has the skill set to move to FS and be a better option there then what we have as back ups |

| just wanted to point out that james harrison sat the bench and was cut an awful lot before he blow up one year. Stranger things have happen and i would be excited if it happened. But my bet is Allen or Brown beat him out anyways. |

I doubt it but I do think he will start and I'm glad he is confident in his abilities. Thats always a good thing.

| I think he's right about being a future pro-bowler, just not at CB. I think he's more than willingly to play some FS in future because even Steelers FO seem to show more preference toward Curtis Brown and Cortez Allen. |

Not sure where you're getting this, as if Lewis messes up, he may be gone because he is on course to be an unrestricted free agent next year. The pressure on him to produce this year is huge.

Curtis Brown/Cortez Allen will have to play out of there skin along with K. Lewis pulling another Denver to start this season. I think they'll be a injury of some sort and Allen/Brown will get a chance to showcase there skills. That's the only way younger players have gotten on the field the past few years with the Steelers.

lets hope Lewis makes the defunct probowl and plays like it in the playoffs. Taylor was all hype about being a shutdown, then he stunk in the most important game. Taylor benefitted from having a lousy cb opposite him. If Lewis plays well, we will find out for sure what Taylor's game really is, and we know taylor can't catch.
As long as it isn't willie 22 or Bmac , we can all be happy about that. I really hope the cb's step up because the DL is a question mark heading in. |

Looks like he has played really good, especially since the front 7 doesn't get that much pressure. Considering 56 has not had much of a passrush as well as 92 and the DL gets no pressure, the credit has to go to the DB's. Troy is out and this all speaks volumes about Lewis and his skills IMO. We have 2 good corners and a 3rd that could be good in C Allen. Clark has played well too, but Lewis deserves credit and I hope he goes to the probowl. He has way more passes defensed , but INT's are what most voters probably go with. Quite an upgrade over recent CB's that for some reason started instead of Lewis  I had to get that last part in

Lewis plays his best corner in bump-n-run coverage how is he a better fit for safety? Lewis doesn't play as well with everything in front of him. Lewis has been excellent in coverage this year. Best pair of corners we have had in years. He should be the first person we resign.
You people are crazy whom think he should switch top safety.
