On Stacy Andrews
INDIANAPOLIS -- Kevin Colbert, director of football operations for the Pittsburgh Steelers, understands the importance of offensive linemen. The Steelers this week placed the transition tag -- another binding designation in free agency -- on offensive lineman Max Starks.
Keeping an eye on the division rival Bengals, Colbert saw that they used their franchise tag on offensive lineman Stacy Andrews.
"Stacy has had a great career for those guys. He's just starting to develop," Colbert said. "He played very well against us. He's not a surprise (tag)."

Post a Comment*Good move for the Bengals. Willie is old & should retire. Smith is a bumb & Madieu is injury prone. Offensive line & Defensive line is where football games are won. Now we need to go after a defensive line.
Why use a the tag on Andrews when you let Steinbach leave last year
"Why use a the tag on Andrews when you let Steinbach leave last year"
Because tackles are more important than guards and they already had someone who could take over at left guard.
We have all seen the problems that Willie Anderson is having with his legs and tagging Andrews was a good decision. Now they just have to try and work out a long term deal with him, because Willie Anderson isn't going to be able to play forever.
What good are the complaints about letting Steinbach go last year? It's over gentlemen, it's in the past. Like it or not, tagging Andrews was the right choice. Move forward.
