They lost Anqauin Bolden and Warner and brought in Joey Porter and Derrick Anderson. Yup those are some real upgrades
They traded Anquan Boldin... and didn't really flinch about it the way Breaston played. Breaston is no Boldin... but brings a different dimension.
They added Joey Porter, Kerry Rhodes, Pete Kendall, Daryl Washington, Dan Williams, Trumain McBride etc...
Their defense is pretty upgraded, while they lost Dansby and Rolle, their main problem last season was getting pressure on the QB, which Porter will help with. Washington should step in for Dansby, while he doesn't have the speed and expirience, he is a tackling machine... and has shown that in the pre-season. I was never a fan of Rolle, he was all glitz and glamour with his big picks, but got burnt plenty of times... which is why he was moved from CB to Saftey.
They're one year removed from the Super Bowl and back to back division champs... with major young talent like Beanie Wells, Rodgers-Cromartie, Calais Campbell (who will have a HUGE breakout year)etc. and veterans like Fitz, Adrian Wilson and Darnell Dockett and you really think they are going to "blow the team up"???
Whiz is a smart coach, hence why they went from perenial bottom dwellars to the Super Bowl. He'll make it work.
