Ok, what was Ben Roethlisberger doing being interviewed on the sideline with a rub of snuff in his mouth? Yuck. Just another reason for people all over the country to refer to Pittsburgher's as slightly one step above West Virginians went it comes to culture. Oh well, at least he didn't spit while on camera, although I thought the one time he was going to.
Did you see Hines Ward blow-up Brian Dawkins on the catch and run by Dan Kreider? He DESTROYED him and Al & John made no mention?
Anthony Smith better be starting for game one. I won't disagree that Ryan Clark may be a smarter player right now - but I don't think anyone is worried about getting hit by Ryan. Anthony brings the lumber.
The Eagles don't tackle very well.
The Steelers, always known for gang tackling, seem to be doing even more of it this year. There always seems to be a third guy finishing somebody off.
Heath Miller is S-T-R-O-N-G. Would-be tacklers bounce off of him. Let's not forget to use him this year!
Danny Kreider better make the team. We need a www.savedankreider.com website! Don't click that, it's just wishful thinking.
Why didn't Woodley start? Why couldn't our shiny new punter punt last night? Why can't Willie Reid catch a ball cleanly? We still have some issues to clean up. Did you see the shot of Mahan standing right beside Okobi? Mahan is much bigger and looks like more of an athlete in my mind. And when Al & John started talking about the centers....why didn't they mention Ray Mansfield? They said there were 3 starters from Webster on. What disrespect that was for Ray's family. Didn't he start there from the mid 60's until Mike Webster took over?
Last thought.....I bet you didn't know that Carlton Haselrig never played college ball. I bet you didn't know that Jerome Bettis is from Detroit. I bet you didn't know that Chris Gardocki never had a punt blocked. What can we add this year? That Tomlin is taking over a usually long tenured job....see Cowher and Noll. Booooooring. Anyone who even casually follows the sport knows that. Geeeeeez.

Unfortunately we learned very little about our team by watching them thrash the Eagles.
I watched the Ravens give the Eagles a similar thrashing in Preseason week 1 and then suck from there on out.
All we can say for sure is the Eagles are in for a very rough road this season.
As for the Steelers and Ravens, it's hard to say if they'll be any good or not. They should be. But (in the lexicon Denny Green) I ain't ready to crown their asses just yet.
My random thoughts on the game:
Big Ben put up big numbers but to me just looked solid, not great.
Charlie Batch is too good to be playing against second and third stringers.
Willie Parker is not a short yardage back. End of experiment.
Who pissed in Sepulverizer's Gatorade? A 14 yard punt after what we've seen so far? Hope he gets this out of his system now.
Please let Willie Reid be able to catch punts. I like this guy but he's got to do better.
Ben to Santonio is going to be the most dangerous weapon we have this season.
Cedrick Wilson definitely has his moments. But on the whole, he sucks.
I wish Anthony Smith would get his brain clicking. 'Cause knowledge of the game is all that's keeping him behind Ryan Clark right now. I know for a fact Ocho Stinko is not looking forward to seeing Anthony Smith ever again.
How long until LaMarr Woodley is starting? Last time I remember asking myself this question was when Noll put in a skinny guy wearing 58 into some preseason games. Not saying he's going to be the next Lambert but... I'd settle for the next Lloyd!
