On the Beat: 4 downs about the SteelersThanks to the esteemed Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette for taking time out before the game to give us his insight into the Steelers.
How much fight do these Steelers have left in them?
None. Pretty short answer, huh? I've seen none. I've seen very little. Something happened to this team and they don't seem to have it anymore. It happened sometime in the Oakland game and going to Cleveland, there was nothing left. I'd be surprised if they show any today.
Has Ben Roethlisberger taken any heat for holding the ball too long?
Heat is a strong word because he's made so many plays in the past doing it, including one in the Super Bowl, where he was scrambling all the way to the right and then he gets away and completes a pass to his tight end. This year, we haven't seen as much, especially in Cleveland in that's fresh in everybody's mind. He held onto it too long, he didn't scramble, didn't get away from the pressure and went down very easily.
The Packers should be worried about the Steelers'....
(At least 30 seconds of thinking) Their pass rush, especially with how many times Rodgers has gone down. I mean, this team can still rush the passer. Woodley is up to nine sacks and I think seven have come in his last five or six games. Harrison is still playing hard.
The Steelers win today if......
they can get some turnovers, which they haven't been doing. That's how they beat Minnesota. They were going to lose that game and then bang, lightning struck and they ran two all the way back. If they can somehow come up with some turnovers, again they haven't been doing it this year, but they've had that ability in the past. I think that's the way the Steelers can win today.
Is it too late to change my pick?
