Just about every phase of the team has been better the last 2 games, they really need to keep it going this week.
OAK... Pretty much a mirror image of the Steelers from a stats standpoint, same record, points for & against are nearly identical. Coming off a loss and a bye just like PIT so you know they will be hungry for a win.
I go into every game wanting to control the run so it's no different here, but if McFadden/Pryor can be controlled this game really looks to favor the Steelers. OAK has plenty of speed outside as per norm, but they're not great possession type WRs...I expect LeBeau to give Pryor a few things he didn't see last week, but look for a similar DEF that was played vs BAL...Troy in the box with a S high.
As far as the OFC goes...really had no trouble moving the ball on them LY. The delayed blitz up the A gap did work pretty well for them LY...if that is fixed, I think Ben and company will put up 24+ points to win 24-17.
What say you?
