Predictions for Preseaon game #3 versus the Steelers

[Hog1]

As far as I'm concerned. Man for man, we match up with anybody in the league! No serious, obvious weak spots. Many improvments from last year. The ONLY Wild card is PR. If he excells (and we NEED him to), the team wil raise some eyebrows this year

Man, I wish I could say that and mean it. Our QB situation is weak, and I question our D-line play. I really don't think the Steelers will risk Bettis more than a series or two b/c last I heard Deuce was dinged up again. Here's what I expect to see, not what I hope to see:

I expect to see an offensive line that continues to open holes and protect the qb. The line looks much, much better than last year. I expect to see very little production from either team in the first half on the offensive side of the ball. The Steelers haven't gotten the ball in the endzone yet this preseason with the starting offense, and IMO Rotheliswhathisname is going to have a BIG sophomore slump this year. Im looking for 10-3 Skins at the half, with Ramsey being somewhat erratic again. I expect Brunnell to take the reigns in the third quarter and add fuel to the QB controversey, leading us to more second half pts. I expect Campbell to have average numbers in the 4th quarter. Normally I would say that Gibbs could give a rat's ass about the final score, but Gibbs is getting frustrated and the team as a whole needs a little success. I think we'll win this one 24-14.
