Thoughts From Pre Season Game 2

The game just ended minutes ago, the Steelers won, but we have some concerns.  Special teams defense looks porous again, that’s not a good sign.  The defense looks a little old and beatable, especially when Bomar, the Giants 3rd string QB who was a practice squad guy last year was able to move the ball on them. Maybe the biggest concern though, Leftwitch.  You may look at Leftwitch and say that ball to Wallace was unbelievable, what are you worried about? Yeah, that was a great ball, but he’s erratic, not consistent and not mobile. If he’s going to be the starter for four games, or six, we think it’s trouble for the team.  They will really need to rely on Mendenhall during the time that Big Ben is out.  The good news from the game, despite the one bad interception we felt Ben looked pretty decen tonight. Especially when you consider it was his first game action since the beginning of January.  He’ll be ok when he comes back from his suspension.  What the team needs to do while he’s gone is win 2 or 3 games. If they can do that, we feel Ben can do the rest upon his return. 

Yeah, that’s what we got out of pre season game 2. Let’s see next Sunday night at the Broncos and we’ll go from there.
