Today is the day the Steelers can prove that this team is different from last year’s team. All the things that hounded last year’s team, the Eagles possess and will exploit. Short dump-off passes killed us last year (see: Welker catching 7 straight on a drive in New England), we struggled against teams with good run defenses (and bad run defenses), but mainly…we struggled to win away from home.
Going to Philly is never an easy task. Hell, they booed Santa.
Donovan McNabb has started another season strong. The question remains, as it has the past few years…will his body hold up?
Brian Westbrook is one of the top backs in the league. His versatility to come out of the backfield and catch short passes is worrisome to a Steelers defense that doesn’t play a lot of press coverage. It’s going to be a big day for the linebackers who might have to cover him in space.
Philly has a great run defense, but Romo and the Cowboys shredded them through the air. Today might be the Roethlisberger-to-Holmes show we’ve been waiting for all year.
Going into someone else’s house, who should we send in to kick ass?
