here we go steelers! 

Post#1 » by Canomad » Mon Sep 7, 2009 5:05 am

i would love for this board to get going but it never really does. :( anyways im a lifelong steeler fan born and raised in the pittsburgh area my entire life. my whole family bleeds the black and gold and i think the steelers are one the premier franchises in any sport. with that being said here is what i would like to see and think we will see this year.

1.stephan logan showed out in the preseason. i would love for him to set us up with better feild position this year then we usually do. more td's and less fg's.
2.rashard mendenhall needs reps to get comfortable. even though it was preseason he played wayyyyy better then he did last preseason he just needs a little time. i expect after the first few games for him to get going. nice 3 back combo, parker, mendanhall, moore.
3.limas sweed needs to develop it should be interesting to what him and wallace grow with hines ward and santonio homles being their tutors.
4.lamar woodley will make the pro bowl this year. he he vastly underrated throughout the league and he is a flat out beast. he needs to continue his development also the wolverine tattoo that he has is awsome! (check the wolverine avy huge fan)
5.no madden curse for man of TROY! he is such a dominant and menacing force i think he will overcome it and just make huge plays like he always does.
6.harrison to continue to play angry. i dont know if he does but it sure looks like it he is a monster check under your bed and in your closet before you go to bed for him! i also like how lawrance timmons is coming along nicely.
7.farrior still has some stuff left in the tank hes gonna show it this year he bulked up in the offseason hes coming in ready as he has ever been.
8.O-line development/improvement. they need to keep ben of the ground as much as possible this year he took wayyy to many hits last year.
9.dixon in some wildcat formations. this could work!!!!!
10.superbowl

HERE WE GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's about that time. This season is the Steelers to defend. I expect them to have a good season albeit any major injuries to occur. As for your list. I too would like to see more out of Mendenhall and Sweed this season. Please don't bring up the Madden curse. Farrior I hope has another round in the tank to give it a go. The O-line needs to be on track to protect the QB. As much of a good season the Steelers had last season, the O-Line allow the defense to sack Big Ben more times then they should've allow. That has to improve w/o a doubt. As for Dixon in Wildcat formation, doubt that will happen just wishful thinking. As for another Superbowl, it's possible. It will depend on how things will shape up l8er in the season plus the playoffs.

i suggested dixon in a wildcat or some sort of gadget play because the steelers were known to run them with randel el, and slash. the development of mendenhall and sweed is something i am looking forward watching this year. 2morrow night! steelers, beer, sweet texas bbq wings, and some friends perfect day!
