Suggs out entire 2012 season...

I'd say the Ravens are done, falling to 8 and 8, third place this year. The Steelers just got much stronger in the trenches, an area that was heavily weighed toward the Ravens' advantage last year. Suggs and Ngata are the two players the Steelers can't seem to handle. Suggs is gone, and DeCastro next to Pouncey will be a much more effective answer to Ngata. The dream line is as follows, yet likely a year away from happening:

LT Adams
LG DeCastro
OC Pouncey
RG Colon
RT Gilbert

Backups Starks(RT/LT), Foster(RT/RG/LG), Legursky(OC/RG/LG), and Essex (all OL positions)...That is f-ing OL depth folks!!!!

If what you say about the Ravens is true, then the Steelers might want to set their sights on the Bengals as their toughest opponent in the AFCN this season. The Bengals managed to pick up five players in the first three rounds and could be a real force.
