Strained MCL 2-4 weeks. So for him I will assume he will be back after 1 week.

I think Troy is the Tasmanian Devil

marge796 · 09-11-2009, 09:20 AM

He's something else isn't he? He'll be missed back there in the weeks to come.

It was an ugly win, but a win nonetheless. Big Ben had a great night, but what worries me is the OL and the lack of the running game. Ds will catch on to his pump fakes, but I have faith that things will gel.

I agree on the pump fake, it only works so many times. I hope the O-line and lack of the short game where only 1st game jitters. But with that being said I love the boys in Black & Gold!!!

Here's a Steelers song I never heard before.
I thought I heard them all. This one actually doesn't suck as much as most.

And so far as the O-line and pump fakes and lack of running game goes...
We were playing the Titans. Hello?
Anyone remember what the Steelers looked like against the Titans last year?
Ben spent most of the game on his back, the rest he spent seeing stars.
They are twice the team they were last year. Easily.
Troy was on fire. I'm surprised he didn't get hurt sooner. lol
We have Da Bears next week. See how many yards we get on the ground next week.
The only thing I'm concerned about is the lack of depth at wide receiver.
Even with that, Heath Miller was open all night long against the Titans.
He could have had 200 yards if Ben needed to check off.

ucla695 · 09-12-2009, 08:28 PM

Great point about Big Ben's protection package. He had more time to throw and they'll find a way to get the run going. It sucks that Troy's hurt...he's definitely a game changer with his athleticism.

Ben took the beating of his career in that game last year, and the Titans have improved. It says a lot about the team we have this year.
I think we're far deeper all over, but there is absolutely no substitute for the Polamalu factor. In all the years I have watched football (Dallas/Denver was the first superbowl I can remember, that was in 78), I can't think of any player who has ever singlehandedly changed the entire complexion of a ball game by stepping on the field.
Maybe Tony Dorsett. God, I loved to watch him run the ball.
But defensively, I cannot remember a player who was even remotely as talented.
Maybe Greg Lloyd. He was insane.

shilala · 09-12-2009, 10:48 PM

Nope. Not even Greg Lloyd.
There's no one that ever changed the entire complexion of a game like Troy does. Period.

Agreed.

Greg Llloyd was like having land mines. Troy is like having laser guided missiles on crack.
Imagine if the two were on the field at the same time?
I don't think most teams would even show up on Sunday.

Here is another thing to ponder...... Are the linebacking duo of Harrison/Woodley better than Lambert/Ham? Lambert was a Bad-ass Muther####er back in the day, but Harrison is on the same level. He slammed that Browns fan to the ground a few years ago, during last years Superbowl he punked out someone so bad on a punt or kick-off, that John Madden was super upset. Not to mention the legendary "Pick -six" at the end of the first half. GOD I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!!!

I'm disappointed in the lack of activity in this thread. not cool.

What's going to happen this weekend in Cinci-nasty?

What about the origanal LT Lawrence Taylor

Mr. Ed · 09-20-2009, 11:11 AM

Hopefully the running game gets going this week (against a Bears D minus Urlacher, it should). I wouldn't be surprised to see Hester burn someone deep for a TD. Let's face it, Cutler is going to get picked at least twice in this game, cause Forte is going to be shut down.

Commander Quan · 09-21-2009, 09:10 AM

What was up with Jeff Reed? He's the most reliable guy on the team and he couldn't kick two field goals? There had to be some bad juju down on that field.

I think the bomb into the end zone was the wrong call on 3rd and 2 at the end of the game.

At least the Pats lost too.
