Do the Steelers Have an Advantage in a Shortened Off Season?

The Steelers may be one of the teams best equipped to deal with a short off season caused by the NFL lock out. Former Steeler Kevin Greene (now linebackers coach with the Packers), and James Farrior both feel that the Steelers and Packers are at an advantage because they have talented veterans on defense that know their schemes well- not to mention both teams played into February. Former Steelers’ safety Chris Hope perhaps put it best, when he recently said, “It should be illegal for any of these rookie quarterbacks to line up against the Steeler defense early in the season if they have limited practice time.”
