Is this what having a shutdown corner feels like?

All in all though, he's way better than P-Rob. That's all I ever hoped from him.
Dude if it was Vaccaro, laying the lumber he would have done the same thing.... Surprised to see that even in a wreckless attempt that Keenan can hit!!!!

He did come from the steelers. Pretty sure he learned a thing or two from Polomalu, Clark and those guys.

Re: Is this what having a shutdown corner feels like?

To say how lewis struggles in preseason, he has kept true to his word and turned his play up a couple knotches

He's having a great season for us

Im still not comfortable about greer though, he got beat badly by stevie johnson on a 60 yard TD pass that was only saved by a holding penalty

Twice in 2 weeks he's let the ball go over his head for a score

Stevie Johnson is no slouch. EVery corner will be burned a couple of times every season and I am fine with that. It can't look like Jason David out there thou.

Lewis brought that Steeler mentality to our defense, much like Harrolson brought some 49er to us...

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw Lewis play yesterday, Steelers secondary is known for very good man coverage and being an aggressive and solid tackler

Keenan definitely has those traits

Corey White should be starting over Greer. We should be starting to transition Greer off the team and into retirement.
