Cowher playing starters a half

The article is about Hines Ward , but this tidbit is in there-

" The Steelers could make this very easy. They could do Ward a favor and keep him out of Saturday's game. Nobody would blink an eye, because he's only been in camp for two days. Is it critical that he plays in preseason game No. 2?

Coach Bill Cowher plans to play his starters for a half. He intends to use Ward, saying, "He'll play. I don't know how much, but he'll play." "

Good stiff test for our first teamers. Their D and special teams made the Eagles first teamers look a little silly.

halftime scores, anyone?

dolphins 35
steelers 2

ricky and ronnie combine for 5 tds and 200 yards rushing.
steelers score when mckinney snaps it over frerottes head through the back of the endzone.

^haha...

yeah this should be a good test, im sure our first teamers will get at least a half as well... hopefully ronnie gets in there and does some good things...

Actually this will be a good test on how far the defense has changed and improved. Miami was weak last year VS the run and Pitts being a running team we will be able to see how much the 1st team has improved...
As for the offense, this will see how much further the team has to go to be in the middle of the pack...

That would be a perfect. Gus could play a quarter and AJ could play the other.

I DON'T THINK SO ... GUS WILL PLAY ALMOST THE WHOLE HALF FEELY WILL PROBABLY PLAY 5 MINS BEFORE THE HALF AND INTO THE THIRD QUARTER...

I dunno.. I think the Stillers will rock us..

look for Pitt to challenge our new secondary early. they know we'll be blitzing after having watched the first two games. let's see if they can pick up the blocks they need to, I think we'll be coming from too many angles for them to.

are we definitely going to see Ronnie? I'd think he has to play him a little.

I say ferrotte plays the half

Remember that game last year?

That's when Big Ben took off, after that TD dive. I ended up watching all the Steeler games for the remainder of the season.

It will be cool to finally see Brown in some action. The steelers special teams & D looked pretty good last game. It will be a good measuring stick...

I think Saban will let Gus start the 3 qtr. Feeley will finish the 3rd and Sage will handle the 4th. IMO

 

[Clipse]

id have frerotte and ronnie 1st quarter and rosenfels and ricky 2nd quarter

 

[arsenal]

I dunno.. I think the Stillers will rock us..

i think we'll do ok, wheres your confidence, cmon... this first half should be a good indicator of how our team will do now that most of the playres are used to the system and should know what they are doing...

Well if Gus gets rocked, it would allow Feeley to show something against a good Steelers def. Instead of just playing against there backups.
