Posted in Today’s Tribune-Review states that despite his “slash” like abilities, don’t look for draft pick Dennis Dixon to be playing any other position for the Black and Gold other than QB. Dixon, who was taken in the 5th round, is going to be groomed to be the eventual backup, taking the role of Charlie Batch when Batch is ready to walk away. The ACL injury that he suffered last season will limit him in practices, but he is ahead of schedule according to his words, and hopefully will be a factor down the road. There is no doubt that if he didn’t tear his ACL, he wouldn’t be a Steeler today. “He has great physical talent,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. “He can run, he has a strong arm, and he is coming to a great situation where he can grow behind two people like Ben and Charlie.”
