Players to Watch in Pittsburgh Steelers' Friday Preseason Opener Against Washington Redskins

Limas Sweed, Wide Receiver, #80, 4th Year
Limas Sweed – a name that has often been mentioned in the past few years, but hardly ever in was connected to praise. The 2008 second round pick has become synonymous with dropped easy catches, demonstrating his ‘ability’ in the '08 AFC Championship Game against the Baltimore Ravens and a 2009 regular season game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Add to that multiple injuries and a mysterious disappearance two years ago, and Sweed has ‘bust’ written all over him. Right?
Well, not quite. His struggles with the Steelers make it easy to forget the enormous potential this former Texas Longhorn brings with him. At 6 foot 4 and 220 pounds, Sweed could be the big target Ben Roethlisberger has long been craving, and he has also proven to be a willing and able blocker in the run game. He has shown flashes of his ability in camp, making impressive catches while running crisp routes and even playing on special teams as a gunner. Yet once again injuries have bothered him, as he sat out multiple practices because of hamstring and back problems. The beginning of this preseason is huge for Sweed – going into the final year of his rookie contract, his time with the Steelers is over if he can’t impress his coaches when the lights are on.

Re: Sweed
Three offseasons and I was talking about Sweed possibly being our "Burress". Now I will take a different approach and make Sweed earn the praise because he hasn't done anything to deserve it.
Come on Sweed...Make me laugh!Comment

Re: Sweed
The Eagles drafted a guard in the first round this year who will turn 27 in the middle of his rookie season.Originally posted by flippySteeler 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.Comment
