What do you guys think about him? Is he pretty good? Just trying to get a feel for one of our new guys. From what I've been reading in the papers, it seems he's really taken quite a leadership role in the locker room amongst all our youngsters in the secondary.
He's okay, not a leader I wouldn't say, but reliable in the sense he won't cost you a game, but he's not going to win you any either.

that's it? ONE steelers fan and a jets fan bother to chime in? lolWe're all pretty excited to have him. I've noticed he had more tackles & INTs last year than Polamalu did. That's gotta be good.

Thats the equivalent of me compared to Bill Gates; I'm in the IT industry, but I'm not quite as valuable as Mr. Bill.

Fact is he had more tackles and INTs, based on just that, one could say he is better. I'm not saying that because I know better. I was just hoping to hear more about him from the Steeler fans here.

There may be a few exceptions that I can't think of right now, but I'd be surprised if after a few games you aren't yelling to get Hope out of secondary.
