Best rivalry in the NFL, along with Indianapolis - New England IMO. James Harrison is a handful every snap, same goes for Haloti Ngata. I will be watching how Maurkice Pouncey, who will be a elite Center in this league IMO, handles Ngata on some plays.
I don't know how Ed Dickson drops that. He's usually soft handed, then again, his concentration at Oregon was not always at its highest level.
Rothlisberger looked lousy on the first series. I wonder how much the foot bothers him. I hope it still hurts 2 weeks from now
PITT is operating in some Pistol this first quarter. I wonder how they will handle the pass blocking duties with Rashard Mendenhall. That is one of the biggest reasons coaches don't use the Pistol until recently. Pass pro by the tailback can be tricky.
Ryan Clark messed up right at the snap. Why is he turning his shoulders immediately? Looked like Man-Free. Shoulders turn when you anticipate throw.
Jonathan Scott should not be playing LT IMO. He's a tough and smart guy but I don't think he's physically gifted for that position. He, like Ramon Foster is, should be at Guard IMO.
fascinating that for all the grief our offense takes we scored 10 against baltimore (steelers 13) and scored 22 against pittsurgh (ravens 10)
