With all that we are saying on here about the Steelers depleted OL (Save their D problems for another day) I thought itd be nice to see who our ProBowl front will be working against. Fun little read here:

I particularly like this Butler guy.

Butler played eight snaps for Cleveland in 2013, missed all of 2012, and played one snap for Houston in 2011. The Texans tried him at left tackle for a portion of the 2010 season, but after allowing 14 hurries in five games, he was relegated to the extra tight end role for the remainder of the season.

We "should" destroy them. We should be ripping Big Ben to pieces, but remember what we thought when we lost three starters for one game-Martin, Ingocnito and Pouncey.
 
My concern is if we can bring Roethlisberger down. Let's face it we have a poor tackling team and if anyone remembers how defenders were bouncing off of Andrew Luck earlier in the season then the thoughts of them trying to sack Big Ben should give you nightmares.

That's what concerns me as well. It's one thing to get to Roethlisberger, it's another thing to bring him down before he lobs a bomb down filed to burn you for 50 yrds.

If Patterson can get back on the field and stay there, no one will be open to burn us. If not, we could be in trouble if Ben buys time by avoiding sacks.

This. Both Luck and Newton brushed us off like day old dandruff, and even though Ben is not as mobile, he is a ridiculously strong man. It's like tackling a redwood. We've got to find a way to disrupt him by getting him above the waist. Tugging his legs like a toddler wanting attention is not going to cut it.
 
pressure needs to come up the middle, collapse the pocket and don' allow him to step up and take off for 15 yards gains.
 
Well with a line worse than ours it seems, it should be easy to get pressure. I hope OV, Wake and the rest of the boys destroy Big Ben.
 
Don't forget what they will be facing against us...our OL isn't exactly anything to write home about...
 
If this team can take down Luck and Newton for about 5 sacks then they can get Roethlisberger down especially with a decimated line.

How many times this year have we lined up w. an OL that is MASSIVELY worse than the opposing team's OL?

Every time this year.

And idiots on here want to blame Tannehill, lol.

Pittsburgh's OL may come close to Miami's OL. Which is to say, don't get ****y.
