Steelers | Michael Mitchell likes role in defense Mon Jun 9, 03:02 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers SS Michael Mitchell said he likes how defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau has used him during organized team activities. 'I can already see (defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau) is using me the way I want to be used. I am getting to play in space a lot and I have also been coming in on some blitzes and timing them up pretty well. I am loving the scheme. I think it fits me great,' Mitchell said.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell can hit and is known as an intimidator on the football field. He'll be able to play close to the line of scrimmage for the Steelers, and LeBeau will be able to get the most out of Mitchell as a run defender. |

Steelers | Unlikely to have interest in Ed Reed Sat Jun 7, 10:28 PM
The Pittsburgh Steelers are not expected to show an interest in free-agent FS Ed Reed (Jets), as they already have four safeties with Will Allen, Michael Mitchell, Troy Polamalu and Shamarko Thomas, and Robert Golden also could push for a spot, so there is no room for Reed right now.
| Footballguys view: Reed's best days are far behind him. He bounced from the Texans to the Jets last year, and Reed looked old and slow when he was on the field. The Steelers need a youth movement on defense, not a recycled player who has seen better days. |
