Well, here we are. The start of the regular season. Games count now, and the Steelers are fortunate to get what should be an easy matchup at home in the Tennessee Titans. Isaac Redman will get the start and hopefully justify the release of Jonathan Dwyer (good luck with that second part). Ben Roethlisberger will take the field behind his young offensive line and hopefully that doesn't become a problem. As long as Ben is playing, the Steelers have a chance to win. On defense, Jarvis Jones is probable and Cortez Allen will start at CB. Everyone else is a known commodity.
As for the Titans, they have Jake Locker in at quarterback. He has the draft pedigree but little else on his side. Chris Johnson will probably get a big run or two and then demand a bigger contract. I dare you to name anyone who plays for the Titans' defense.
The Steelers should win this handily. They won't, because they always play at the level of whoever they're up against for better or worse, but they should win handily.
