    I'm worried about Harris and Tate/Archer and their ability to hold on to the ball. We've been blessed with Bell who easily has the best ball security in the game. The only time he ever put the ball on the ground was when he was literally concussed last season. We have to win the turnover battle and Ben Tate has been known to have a bit of a fumbling problem back in Houston. Archer will get obliterated if he gets hit by Ngata. Harris is an unknown commodity.

      Broski, I agree. Ball-security will be a big deal this game, and I didn't worry about that with Bell. I think Harris will be our Bell-Cow, and will surprise us all.

        I don't think we'll see much of Tate in this game, I believe he's insurance in the event of another injury.

          Dri Archer will finally make a game breaking play and put us on top to stay. Mark it down.
          As many on this site think ... The Rooney's suck, Colbert sucks, Tomlin sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck.

          but Go Steelers!!!

            Will Johnson 7 carries 32 yards 1 TD
            3 Receptions 29 yards
            Will Johnson always seems to get overlooked. I'd be in favor of moving him to tailback and giving him 10-15 carries because I think he's truly capable of delivering for us.

                        I'm going to play it safe, and say Deebo.

                        He's fresh (having not played all 16 games or anything near it), he's healthy, he has that extra sense of urgency that comes from knowing this is it for him, and he's likely to go against a rookie Left Tackle. Most likely, they will be forced to help the rookie, opening up single blocking for guys like Cam and Worilds.
                        I wasn't hired for my disposition.

                            Unfortunately I suspect/fear Haley will overreact and keep heath back as an extra pass protector most of the time. I think he COULD be a major weapon vs the Rats D but I wouldn't bet on it.

                              Lets hope he doesn't post pix on twitter. I remember Santonio giving many of us an inferiority complex..
