I think they will emphasis stopping Portis and making Campbell try and beat them. They will bring alot of pressure. The way we have been playing the past couple of weeks won't get it done against a quality team and I think Pitt will pull out with a victory.

I disagree with your first statement. Trent Cole is their best pass rusher, and he is no better than Andre Carter. Chris Samuels rendered Cole a NON-FACTOR when we played them in Philly. Jim Johnson rushes 5, and sometimes 6, as much as any D-coordinator in the league - that is the biggest reason that they get to the QB. I'm not saying that we should go blitz happy, but I'd like to see Blache pick his spots, especially if he shuts down the Pittsburgh running attack and forces 3rd and long situations.
