The facts support ME.
No Pouncey in two straight playoff games. The run game played well in both.

He rarely pulls. I don't think he's quick enough to snap and pull like Dawson did.
Now at guard? That's different.
Crash - Don't argue just for the sake up arguing. You're making an argument by comparing Pouncey's ability to a HOFer like Dawson. Pouncey can pull and get to the second level better than any center in the league. He's probably the most athletic C in the league. Are you really knocking the guy because he can't snap and pull like Dawson?
Why can't your boy Big Ben play like Joe Montana does in SBs? Why can't Ben read defenses pre-snap like Peyton Manning does? Ryan Clark is garbage because he can't play like Ronnie Lott. Honestly, it sounds stupid to make an argument like that.
You're comparing a really good player (Pouncey) to quite possibly the best C in the history of the game. I can make that argument with every position on the team. Heck, I can make that argument with EVERY position, on EVERY team in the league.
Tomlin: Let's unleash hell and "mop the floor" with the competition.
Who they play doesn't mean anything more for the #1 ranked defense than the #21st ranked scoring offense...
Why? Because, usually, both the offense and defense play the same team...
Ryan Clark is garbage because he can't play like Ronnie Lott.
No, Ryan Clark is garbage because as the last line of defense as the free safety? He rarely gets over in time on deep balls to break up a pass.
The Steelers defense hasn't had a free safety like that since Darren Perry.
Playoff performance is important when arguing who is the best QB in the NFL, but for other positions like center...not so much.
Is Jared Allen less of a DE because he only has played in 3 career playoff games?
Is Maurice Jones-Drew less of a RB because he only has played in 2 career playoff games?
Is Calvin Johnson less of a WR because he only has played in 1 career playoff game?
Is Joe Thomas less of an OT because he hasn't played in any career playoff games?
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
