Steelers LB Lawrence Timmons' rookie season was something of a disappointment; he suffered a groin injury in minicamp and never seriously threatened for consistent playing time on defense. Expectations remain high for Timmons in his second NFL season, and he's positioned to have a chance to fulfill them, the way we hear it. Word is Timmons will push hard for ILB Larry Foote's starting job. Foote is stronger vs. the run, but Timmons has superior speed, and we hear Timmons looked more instinctive and sure of himself at the Steelers' latest minicamp. An ILB tandem of Timmons and James Farrior would bolster an already strong Pittsburgh pass defense. Farrior, 33, is said to be as quick as ever. And there is no doubting Timmons' wheels.
