Re: How much risk do we take?
As I mentioned before, I have no idea what is going to happen to the Steelers O-line, but, if they go into next year counting on a rookie at either LT or RT and leave the interior exactly as it is now, the Steelers won't be repeating as SB champs.
It is still amazing that a team could be so inept inside the 5 yard line all year, so inept at 3rd and short and 4th and short all year, have a bottom half of the NFL running game and still win the Superbowl. This tells you all you need to know about Ben and the defense.
I wouldn't want to have to count on near perfection from the defense and for Ben to have to bail out the team 4 or 5 times in the 4th quarter again to get back to the Superbowl. That's what happened this year.
