Steelers lose Maddox for at least six weeks, will turn to Roethlisberger

[BAMAPHIN 22]

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- For the Pittsburgh Steelers, the future is now.

Starting quarterback Tommy Maddox will be sidelined at least six weeks with ligament damage in his right elbow, forcing first-round pick Ben Roethlisberger into the lineup. Maybe we can catch a break this weekend...

yup, looks like we are not the only ones who are going to have a loong season.

I'm not as worried about their offense as I am about their Defense. Our O is in worse shape than theirs, so I'm nervous to see how well our o-line responds to the blitzing. Honestly this game feels like a carbon copy of last weeks....Steelers have a young inexperienced Qb, 2 good WR's, a blitzing D and is a team coming off a loss. Hopefully we can stand up and play better.
