Polamalu questionable with hammy

[WindyCitySteel]

Are we really going to risk the rest of the season by chancing it with Ben, Pouncey, Woodley, and Troy? God, I hope not, and these are all injuries that routinely get aggravated by playing too soon. This is a relatively meaningless game. We've got the 5th seed all but locked and about a 2% chance at the division title.

Sit them, and run the ball 60 times. Hope to win a 6-3 game and tell Goodell and the talking heads to fist themselves if they don't like the style.

Do this and get ready for 20: 3 and outs

Put Dixon at QB and let him run every play. If they hit him, penalty. Maybe a fine.

Make Dixon and Charlie run and lead with their heads to ensure they get cracked in the helmet.

What happens if the bolts pull off the upset against the Ravens on Sunday? At that point, don't we pretty much have to go all in to beat the niners?

Absolutely.

Lots of players out means more experience for the backups leading up to the playoffs.

We'll win this game no matter who we have on the field.

Next man up. Have confidence!!!!

Re: Polamalu questionable with hammy

Didn't we win every game where Timmons played for Harrison?

Hasn't Worilds played well in relief of Woodley?

Even Mundy stepped up his game this year when Troy went out...

The Steelers haven't played without Ben this year; he's the key to Monday night and every game after that until he retires. The Steelers would be mediocre with Batch or Dixon as the full time starter.

I think we are capable of winning a game here and there with Dixon (Batch looked awful against the Browns). But over the course of a season (or even a long stretch of games) neither Dixon nor Batch would be effective.

Re: Polamalu questionable with hammy

I would would of had Dixon take all the first team snaps and actually create a gameplan adapted to his skill set which would be lots of shotgun and bootlegs. I just don't see Ben playing the next month and a half or two months on a bum ankle without giving it proper time to heal so would rather give it time to heal before the playoff run.

I think with Dixon at QB and the proper gameplans we could beat these final 3 teams.

Timmons is an absolutey non-factor at OLB. Keep him inside. I don't care if you have to put Foote or Chris Carter in Harrison spot... just not Timmons. When you move Timmons outside, it's like losing Harrison and Timmons for the game.... Harrison because of suspension and Timmons because he can't play OLB and be effective.
