Ehh... I'm good w it. All players should feel that way and be confident enough to voice it.

He might be the only dude there, though. 
I think he has overstated his abilities a tad. For a guy who couldn't win the starting spot ahead of the likes of W. Gay and B. McFadden, he would've had to improve an AWFUL lot, IMO, to think he'll be probowl- worthy.
Love the confidence, I do, and I hope he can back it up with his play in the field, but honestly, that would mean he'd be better than Ike as Ike has yet to go to the PB, right? Anyway, he has all the physical make up and abilities to be great, he just needs to harness them. Have a feeling Lake may be the perfect coach to get the most out of Lewis. We'll see.

Personally, I think there is a better chance of him being off the team next season (2013) than making the pro bowl.
I really think either Allen or Brown will hop over him...maybe both. Lewis IMO is another one of those guys who had promise but never had that ability to put it all together. I also think both Allen and Brown are better suited from a skillset aspect to start. Not saying they will be good, but I think Lewis is best suited for either nickle or even safety in our defense.
In the end though, I dont think he will ever be starter quality...even if he does end up starting this year.

I definitely am more in the line of your thinking, 43M. He hasn't proven anything yet and find it hard to believe he's improved drastically in the offseason.

| I can understand him having confidences, you would want that in any player. Keenan Lewis needs to start first before making predictions like that. To me i'm ole school "actions speaks louder than words" |

Even if he were to have a spectacular year, the public opinion of a player generally lags by a year or two, so he wouldn't get voted in this year even if he deserved it.
In the end though, it's not like he was posting this on twitter or similar places. This was an interview where he was asked how he expected to play. I have no problem with him being confident, but he should at least set his sights to something more meaningful than the pro bowl (All-Pro or team achievement).

There is absolutely no problem with what he said.
I just dont agree with it.

Steelers CBs shouldn't be judged on how many starts they have as D. Townsend was arguably the Steelers best CB since R. Woodson. D. Town sat the bench for years before he finally got a chance to play. K. Lewis biggest is/was problem is his inability to play consistent from down to down. 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.

I don't have a problem with what he said if that is what you were trying to say.

No...I was agreeing with you and saying I dont agree with Lewis.

K. Lewis is the best tackling CB on the team, which is why I think he should be moved to SS. |

No he's not. Taylor is a better tackler than Lewis.
