Pittsburgh sports personality Gene Collier has claimed the Pittsburgh Steelers will only win six games this upcoming season. He sites the absence of traded WR Santonio Holmes and injured guard Willie Colon as reasons but for everything that is lost, there is always something gained. For the 2010 Steelers that counterbalanced gain lies in the secondary. For all the problems Pittsburgh had last season their pass defense had to be the most ...
