Let's see.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I don't buy the prevailing fashionable buzz that the Cards wont even bother with the run. Whisenhunt's smart enough to know that he cannot let the Steeler D just pin their ears back and go at Warner. They'll try to run, probably out of spread formations much of the time. Hampton, Foote and Farrior need to shut that shit down and they probably will. <BR/><BR/>I also don't think the Steelers will blitz as much as usual. Though pressure will be obviously key---I'm sure that the challenge has been thrown, during prep meetings, to Aaron Smith, Silverback and Woodley that they need to plant Warner on his ass even if the Steelers only rush four. <BR/><BR/>Man, like you, I can't wait to have this game underway. For the memory of Myron Cope in his season of passing away, for the Terrible Towel and the Allegheny Valley School that gets all the royalties from the Towel, for the great man who is the best owner in all of sports, for the wonderful city and its the people, and, last but not the least, the great team, I hope the Steelers win their sixth Super Bowl trophy.Anonymoustachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087423180514517335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4127790092879080620.post-29074264797379960792009-01-31T21:20:00.000-05:002009-01-31T21:20:00.000-05:00Good stuff as always, "The Don", and from what you...Good stuff as always, "The Don", and from what you said (not that I'm taking anything for granted) I really feel the Steelers have a good chance. However, the one thing the Steelers are gonna have to watch out for are those quick slants thrown underneath the coverage. Those Jerry Rice catch-and-fucking-go deals. You watch.<BR/>And boy do I hope you're right about Ben having a good game. The fucking man has earned it. If in nothing else but blood, sweat and pain. By the way, a word about Sweed and that dropped ball. I read where Tomlin really bawled his ass out after that play, not for dropping the ball, but for laying on the ground like a baby feigning injury to cover his embarrassment. Which, as you said, cost us that field goal. Tomlin said, "Forget about the drop, be a man." Many feel that's what spurned Sweed on to later throw that crushing block. Good stuff. They drafted Sweed for his height and speed, he's yet to show me he has the hands to match. Hope he proves me wrong.<BR/>And this final thought. Yes there will be gadget plays thrown into the mix by Whisenhunt, but before any of that happens I bet they throw a bomb on their very first play. The Steelers get caught on that often in big games. Let's see if I'm right.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the insights, Stache, and damn I can't wait to get this thing on!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
