STEELERS WEEK 3: WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

1. INJURIES: Scott LT, Gilbert (shoulder) RT if healthy. Essex in place of Scott otherwise. Legursky (shoulder) and Scott (ankle) questionable. Keomoatu, Pouncey, and Foster rounding out the starters with Jamon Meridith and Chris Scott as subs.



2. Kiesel should be held out for the long haul and forget about this week or even next.




3. Arnez Battle may be out so it appears we may finally get a look at Jericcho Cotchery. The offense will need him as they are going to have to produce through the air based on their lackluster performances in the running game thus far.(see below).




4. While discussing the passing offense, more quick passes (slants, crossing patterns, etc.) al la the Seattle game, are what is in order to slow down the pass rush. (See above.) Man do we miss Baron Batch!




5. The Steelers' turnover margin of -9 is dead last in the league. Baltimore, Detroit and SF all led with +6. The Steelers' are LAST in takeaways with 1 (one). Ten turnovers by the offense is tied with the likes of 0-3 KC for the league high. The only other team without an interception after three games is Denver.
