This is a very nice video from NFL network.

My feeling is that if we can get enough pressure rushing 5 ( 3DL + 2OL) we could drop Timmons and Farrior deeper in coverage (play pass first and no bite on PA). I would dare the packers to run the ball. I would make them prove they can run before we commit to stopping it. This goes against what the Steelers normally do but I think that having the LBs deeper in coverage could cause Rogers to hold the ball just long enough for the pressure to reach home. He could also try to finesse it over the coverage but I like the idea of our safeties having time to lock on and at the very least jar the ball lose. In the video they show our D versus the Jets, Cleveland, and New Orleans. Both the Jets and Cleveland had run games that were legit and commanded respect. The NO situation was more of a goal to go situation. There the field is compressed so having the LBs up normally makes sense...just a great play by Brees.
Speaking of New Orleans, I believe that team matches closest to the Pack in terms of offensive style vs our defense. Our D gave up some plays that game but they didn't lose the game. Rather it was the offense that failed on 2 occasions (Goal line and Heath Fumble) that determined the outcome of the game. It was insanely loud in that dome on Halloween night and I think it effected our offense. I was there and the noise was very impressive. I do not expect the noise to be an issue on Sunday as I expect a 50-50 crowd.
I did not have a good feeling about the game earlier but as time goes along I'm slowly becoming more confident. I do not see this game being a blowout either way and I see it coming down to the 4th quarter. In that case I feel more confident in Ben being clutch than Rogers. If it comes down to the 4th quarter I wish we could get someone on the inside to play Renegade complete with video. I would love to see it on Jerry's jumbotron.
