Surprise:
Regress:
2. Pittsburgh Steelers- Their franchise QB is suspended at least 4 weeks, possibly 6. Their horrid offensive line took another hit by the season ending injury to Willie Colon. They traded away Santonio Holmes and Fast Willie Parker. This team is regressing while the rest of the division is getting better. Smells like trouble to me.
I think the Steelers address most of them ....
Leftwitch will
probably start the first 4 games, unless he stinks it up, but he's got good history with this team.
(I want to see Dixon play).
O Line, yes they have issues, just like EVERY YEAR.
Holmes .... Mike Wallace will fill Santonio's role easily, he was VERY effective last year and should only improve this year.
(I hate the fact that Holmes is gone ... for next to NOTHING mind you, but trouble seemed to follow him and the Steeler's didn't want any more than they already have)
Fast Willie Parker .... he's really FAST when he has a hole in front of him, otherwise , he runs into his blocks and goes down, for all that speed, he rarely made his own plays.
Mendenhaul will fill in very nice.
(Provided he can stay healthy)
They will do fine ..... 9-10 wins and make the playoffs if they get to 10.
