I expect him to play a solid if unspectacular game, he's not the risk taker Smith
is which makes him a good compliment to the aggressive.I am certain ANthony Smith will
be make a sweet tackle on special teams and break into a frenzied, chest-thumping celebration,
possibly drawing a penalty.A win tonight would clinch a playoff spot for Pittsburgh if either
Cleveland or Tennessee lose.There is a tangible sense of urgency for the Steelers going into
the game tonight. It is technically accurate to say the Steelers would benefit from out-ramming
the Rams, but not to say they need to "out-Ram" them to win. It's fortunate
for Pittsburgh that the Ram's line is in shambles.The Rams will blitz. Lamar Woodley will
play in place of the injured Clark Haggans. Carter should help sure up the pass
defense, normally Polamalu's backup at strong safety, Carter has played free safety with Minnesota. Tyrone
Carter is playing for Anthony Smith who has been benched after getting beat deep several
times in the last two games. The Rams offense is the tn last big test of
the regular season, aside from stopping Willis Magahee in Baltimore. It's disappointing that Pittsburgh has
let things slide so far since beating the Browns-Reprise for the second time this season
to take a three game lead on Cleveland.The 3rd seed in the AFC appeared to
be locked up when the Steelers held a 9-3 record and it's as if the
team relaxed. The Rams will run Steven Jackson right over Aaron Smith's replacement. He threw
3 td's last week with a shoulder injury which limited him to one day of
practice in the week prior to the game. If the defense has a chance to
right itself, stopping the Rams tonight is a big the first step, the way the
D responds to being pounded on last week will be indicative of how the rest
of the season goes, and how long the team will last in the hopefully forthcoming
post-season. Will the Steelers line block? Where has the screen pass gone? Throw it to
Heath Miller and Parker out of the Nike Requin backfield to counter the blitz.Lost in the carnage
of Fred Taylor's snow plow game last week was Ben Roethlisberger's record setting performance, Roethlisberger,
who was recently elected to his first Pro Bowl, has set the Steelers single season
record for TD passes with 29.Check out any of the various media outlets for Roethlisberger's
response when asked about the record and compare them to Hines Ward's self indulgent rant
when he responded to questions about what it meant to him to break Stallworth's TD
reception record. That's enough of that.Will the Steelers be able to contain, "Saint" Steven Jackson?The
Steelers need to take advantage of St. Louis' banged up offensive line, if there was
ever a remedy for a defense having trouble getting off of blocks and getting to
the quarterback, it's playing the Steelers, I mean the Rams, sorry. Let's hope the rookie
can add some energy and intensity to the lethargic defense. Someone needs to tackle him,
or ram him backwards and into the ground. St Louis' defense is spotty, their quarterback
is injury prone and the Rams have only won 3 games this season. In four
years he has become the youngest QB to win a Super Bowl, gone undefeated as
a starter in his first regular season, and set the franchise's single season TD record,
he has twice tied the team record for consecutive completions with 15. When the Steelers
start bringing an extra guy into the box, the Rams will try to throw. However,
the offense of Jackson, Bruce, Holt, and Bulger has big play capability, and the Steelers
defense needs to reestablish itself as a unit that can tackle. Ward talks about humility,
Roethlisberger is humble.How lucky are the Steelers and we as Steelers fans, to have a
quarterback like Roethlisberger playing for Pittsburgh. Remember when Steelers fans were complaining about the team
taking Plax instead of Chad Pennington? Seems like eons ago.I can see this turning into
a shoot-out in the dome.I'll predict the same final as the Steelers Rams matchup in
Super Bowl XIVSteelers 31, Rams 19Blogger at the ultimate Pittsburgh Steeler's fansite at http://www.SteelerManiacs.com.
