tendency to play to the level of their competition, which is why an easier schedule may not benefit them. They had a disappointing 8-8 season in 2006 after winning Super Bowl XL. Granted that was Bill Cowher’s final season and the team may have been distracted, but they need to keep that hangover in mind as they enter this season. The team’s greatest threat is on the offensive and defensive lines. The average age of the starting defensive line at the beginning of the season will be 32, a risky proposition considering how important 3-4 linemen are. The Steelers might need their first round pick, Evander “Ziggy” Hood to make an impact early and often. The offensive line is equally sketchy as the Steelers lose long time left tackle Marvel Smith and right guard Kendall Simmons to free agency. Both players were injured last year and the Steelers went on to win with Max Starks and Darnell Stapleton. Starks and Stapleton are expected to assume the same roles this year, but I’m not warm and fuzzy about it. |
