    Hopefully he is back next year. He deserves a ring, and would love to see him get one here...

    Not a ringing endorsement.

    I love LT, he really deserves a ring, but honestly I don't see him back next year. If he does, Greene should be the feature back, with LT in more of a 3rd down type role. Split the carries like the Ravens do with Rice and McGahee.

    As long as LT is on the roster, LT will start no matter how well Greene runs. That's just the way it is with Schottenheimer so get used to it.

    that was the plan this year. But greene fumbled early on, and we went to LT, and schotty fell in love, and ran him into the ground.

    I think he still got it. You cant really blame him for not getting much when 99% of the calls are up the middle when the world knows its coming. He shown burst in the Colts and PATS game. Give it another year because I dont know any other team they would want him right now.

    I'll take Tomlinson back for another season, provided he fills the role of a backup and Shonn Greene gets the starting job. He's still a great check-down option and he's still great in pass-pro. He was a solid leader this season. He's making very little money against any returning cap. There's no reason to let him go anytime soon.

    Pittsburgh delenda est.

    I really liked LT in the beginning of the season, but he just faded too much down the stretch. I was actually getting annoyed during the game today that LT was getting the handoffs over Greene, even with Greene sporting a 5.8 yard/per carry. The move definitely turned out better than most expected, but I doubt he'll be back next year. Greene needs to become the feature back with McKnight backing him up. We need to continue to get younger.

    How about Jason Taylor on whether he'll come back "If Rex and Mikey want me back..."

    Damn, dude's taking it hard. Very emotional during the questions about his future.

    This is why I was hoping we'd win it all this year. LT and JT deserved rings

    LT and Shotty are tied together. You cant have one without the other.

    I'd like to get rid of them both. I'd prefer to keep LT but I know he wont do anything if Shotty isnt there.

    LT doesn't cost us that much at all. Why shouldn't he come back?

    I'd love to get another pounder to go with Greene. Kill defenses, but LT for one more year sounds great to me.
