I’m not sure how possible it is to get pumped up for the fourth preseason game.
The starters will probably only play 1 series to try to avoid injury.
Look to see a lot of Byron Leftwich and Dennis Dixon tonight.
Mendenhall gets his shot at redemption to keep his hands on the ball.
This weekend, the Steelers have to cut their roster from 76 to 54. This would usually be 53, but they have a player from Italy that’s part of the NFL exchange program who will be a designated practice-squad-er, so they don’t have to cut him.
There are some big names on the bubble to make the team right now. William Gay has not played well all preseason. Anthony Smith has 1 year left on his rookie contract. Given his issues in training camp the last few years, the Steelers might cut the chord early. Willie Reid and Dallas Baker continue their battle for the #5 receiver spot.
With the signing of Orpheus Roye, Nick Eason, Ryan McBean and Scott Paxon might be on the bubble as well.

This game will get boring just in time for Al Gore to start talking at the Democratic National Convention.
The game time was moved up so that it wouldn’t interfere with Obama’s speech tonight.
Sadly, Obama did not pick Jerome Bettis as his running mate. The guys over at Obama-Bettis ’08 were stunned.
For one last bit of inspiration….
