And as I said elsewhere , keep your eye on Troy Palomalu (sp?) at safety for Pitts. This guy is really, really good![/QUOTE]

Polamalu has some amazing closing skills... I think we're going to see a game with excellent hits on both sides of the ball. Hopefully it's the national game here on the west.

Sports. The Steelers benefit from running 150 yards a game (which we better stop) and a strong pass rush. Their defensive backs are expoitable. That pomalu guy is a hard hitter, but he's exploitable in coverage. If we go down field on them, we can beat them. The way Gibbs has been calling his games we don't have a shot, but if we go downfield we do.

The key to the game for us, outside of scoring points because that is always a key. We need to stop Bettis; if Griffin is playing I think it increases our chances tramendously. We need to force Rothlesberger to beat us, which he hasent shown he can do to anyone yet ( No way a knock on him though, hes doing exactly what hes asked of). So I think if we can force them to throw, we could have a chance.

exactly Gmac. Make the rookie beat us and we'll get a W and some respect.
