Heads Up From a Steelers Fan

Faneca leading Ben? That could spell trouble for Ben after the crap Fanena was talking about not wanting a rookie starting. Not too worried about Duce. Don't forsee him putting any dirt on #54's back. He's not the Bus.
We can cover anyone pretty much.. Should be some good match-ups.

Faneca is a pro. He'll put his comments behind him. The comments you were referring to were a bit blown out of proportion, as Faneca closed the interview positively. Water under the bridge IMO.

We will not run youre correct, Burress going deep doubtfull. Dont be blind sided by our offense and assume that Ben Worthlessburger will tear up our defesne. Our D has only given up one touchdown in 2 games. Im thinking we might see more of Brian St. Pieere after we knock the snot out of Worthlessburger.

Miami 21
Pitt. 6

I believe you will out gain us yardage-wise, but won't put 2 TDs up due to your poor running game. We will strip Feely twice and that change in field position will allow us to score 2 TDs. We win 17-13 is my prediction.

Is Myron Cope(sp?) still yapping up there about Steeler football? God that guy is annoying like Gilbert Godfried.
 
I see a low-scoring game. For the most part, we were able to shut down Cinci, so I don't see why we can't shut down Pitt. I don't see us scoring that much either (13-17 pts.)

Turnovers will be the deciding factor.
 
This game is going to be an ugly low scoring game that will probably go down to the final minutes. And now that Hurricane Jeanna could be touching Miami, this could be a raining game that might resemble the last time we played the Steelers. hmmm. What was the score of that game? Ah yes, 21-0.

LOL If we need some shade from the sun (behind his ears) I'd consider Fiedler, but only if we're talking Death Valley-type heat.

No way, Pittsburgh has a team? Since when?

Considering that Miami's D has given up an average of 88 yards passing per game to start the season against the league's reigning MVP and the number 1 pick form a year ago, I don't think Burress and Ward are going to be receiving too many balls from your talented rookie. Alan Faneca doesn't even seem to want to be on your team right now and he is one of your captains. Don't underestimate out D pal.

Even with Bowens and Chester out, I would venture to say that Roberson, Zgonina and Romero will be able to gobble up blockers and let Taylor go nuts on Big Ben. Surtian most likely plays and along with Madiso, will once again pair up and form the best pair ov cover corners in the game. Will Poole, our rookie CB, started his first game last week and played outstanding. I don't really worry about the passing game at all. Along with those three and Reggie Howard, we have the personell to match up with your receivers.

My biggest concenr is stopping the run. However, like I said, if the biig boys up front can do their job, Thomas and Seau will, rest assured, be damn sure reayd to lay the lumber on Staley and Bettis.

I am more worried about our offense against your defense honestly. Having McIntosh in at LT should help us out considerably on AJ's blindside. If what you said is true about us being able to get stuff underneath, we are money, that is our hwole offense to tell you the truth. :lol:

However, if McIntosh, James, McKinney, Whitley and St. Clair are somehow able to give AJ more than 1 second to pass the ball, you may see Chambers and McMichael chugigng down the field, ball in hand.

Good luck this weekend. The Steelers are always on my goodside, whenever they beat the Raiders so thank you for that! Here is hoping we are both 1-2 come Monday morning.

You make good points, but the tallest of the three CBs you mention is 5'11". I think we will try the "jumpball" routes for Plax. They are actually relatively low risk, given Plax is 6'5". This will be a change from Maddox, who consistently looked for Ward and Randle El down low.

I also think Duce will have a good day, which will open up the play action and take some pressure off the pass rush.

It will be a hard fought defensive struggle, but I think our offense is stronger even with Ben making his first start.

I need 10 posts to post a URL. I'll show you a nice site that parodies Fiedler. You may have seen it already.

Since nobody outside Steelcountry knows anything about the Steelers (other than Ben starting) I thought I'd give you Fish fans something to look for when watching our team this weekend.


  1. Duce, Duce and more Duce. We plan on running quite a bit, so be prepared for #22 to be colliding with Thomas quite a bit (hopefully Thomas will have dirty numbers by the end of the day - on his back ;) )
  2. Haggans (our replacement for Gildon) was a monster against Chokeland. Expect more of the same Sunday.
  3. Burress going long. I would expect Plaxico to be more involved with Ben at the helm. Maddox favored Ward on the 5-8 yard routes. I think Plax will get more deep corner routes under a Ben-led offense.
  4. Rolling pockets with Faneca leading Ben. This will be an adjustment for our offense under Ben, but we need to use his mobility.
  5. Polamalu being conservative on zone coverage. He got beat with a double move against Chokeland. He will overcompensate against your deep threats. I would expect your WRs to have a good day underneath if he becomes apprehensive. Otherwise, he will get beat long if he crowds the line of scrimmage.
  6. Our DL is the most underrated unit in the league. You will not be able to run. AT ALL.
  7. Special Teams will give us good field position. Randle El and Colclough will have a good day IMO.
That pretty much covers the major points. I look forward to being 2-1 after Sunday. Say hi to Hooty for me.:)

Well i can't speak for my brethren here in Dolphin land, but since all my freakin friends are Steelers fans, I've watched them quite a bit over the last few years. first lets get it out of the way right now that pitt is a better team, and you are favoured to win. Fine. But most of the reasons you cite border on the ridiculous.
1. Run Run Run duce. What... with his 70 yrds per game and 3.6 yard avg against two mediocre Ds? Be my guest.


2."Burress going long. I would expect Plaxico to be more involved with Ben at the helm. I think Plax will get more deep corner routes under a Ben-led offense."
All this insight from their half game together? R-E-L-A-X. As for Ben, Mia D held last year's NFL MVP to 70 yards, and brutalized the latest Rookie (OK not technically, but whatever) wonderboy. Time will stop for Big Ben this week. He'll impress soon..just not on sunday--especially if Surtain is back.


Don't get we wrong, you'll still likely win this game. But no one's worried about Duce or Plaxico or ben. You'll win the way most teams will against us: By watching our O self-destruct. If Mia couldn't handle Cinci's basic blitz packages, they'll go retarded trying to stop Pitt's. duce will have nothing to do with it.

He's had some medical challenges. I'm not from the 'Burgh, so I don't have the straight goods on if he's back on the air yet. I watch NFL Sunday Ticket.

Do you guys blitz a lot? We had trouble with that last week...

I believe we will. Haggans and Porter on the OLBs and Farrior and Bell (if playing) may stunt up the middle. LeBeau (our DC) is back this year. He invented Blitzburgh in the early '90s, so I would expect a lot of blitzing.
