To Head Coach Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers I have remained a loyal Steeler fan since the mid-seventies when I lived in Pittsburgh during the Iron Curtain days. I taught school in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood for several years and was then tranferred to the Homewood neighorhood. While living in Pittsburgh I enjoyed the Steeler golden years.Congradulations for advancing to the divisonal win and also for the win in Dallas on Feburary 6th. Thank you Coach Tomlin for being another fine example of a fine young black man.

I think the Steelers will not play in the Super Bowl this year. The reason is the offensive line and the play calling of our over analytical offensive cooordinator. Anybody that saw the Steelers earlier this year will commend Mike Tomlin and the offensive line coach for stitching up our gaping pass protection. Many fans will recall that Ben was surrounded and harrassed even before he squared up to pass. I believe it was Tomlin who recognized the problem and corrected it. However, we have been unable to successfully run the ball this year against any meaningful opponent (the browns and redskins do not count). This is not do to a lack of communication or coaching but to the lack of size and strength in our offensive line. Lastly, many Steeler fans will recall the days of Slash (kordell stewart). In Cowher’s day we used Kordell (ODonell was the Starter) as a short yardage option. When the ball was on the 10 yard line . You were sure to see Kordell on the field as a passer, catcher, or runner. Why can’t the steelers use DIXON the same way? Imagine Dixon lining up behind center. This would be a legitimate running threat (we know Ben can run but his last couple of short yardage scrambles and sneaks have led to mislaigned shoulders and fumbles). The Steelers have to get creative in the red zone during the playoffs or we will be home without a 6th ring.

Yeah I agree that Ben is our best option and I was never opining otherwise; I’m just curious as to WHY Byron gets more protection and WHY Arians calls a different game with Byron in there!?!

I think they will only get a depth lineman via free agency and they will depend on drafting and keeping whatever is left from the current line-up. Yes, Jay your right. the pocket looks better with Leftwich. I dont care if its Leftwich, Ben or Cliff Stoudt!! The Steelers need to run better and take the pressure off the QB, especcially in January.This team can win it all, but the offense, no matter who is behind center, needs to be more balanced. I still say the Steelers have a better chance with Ben but if Leftwich is healthier the Steelers may not have a choice.

Look, I so get that Ben hangs onto the ball too long a times, I get it! But boy, let me know out there Steeler nation if I’m alone on this or not but, boy would I love for (jackass) Bruce Arians to give Ben the same type of play calling that Leftwich gets! More run plays, more check downs…Yes, I agree through observation that Byron gets rid of the ball a bit faster than Ben but he’s also having the pressure kept off of him because more run plays are called! I don’t know…I am happy that we are 12-4 with a secure number two seed and a former number one quarterback as the back-up so I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth nor sound ungrateful but, jeeze, why does the offense/play calling and especially the offensive line look so much better with Byron in there?!? On a side note-Dallas locked up Colombo (not that it matters after watching Philly totally use him) so does that leave Carey (6’5″ 350 lb. RT in Miami) or Runyan or Tra Thomas or Jordan Gross as options for our line in free agency or will we play possum once again and rely totally on the draft?!?

Solid effort today in beating a team that the Steelers are supposed to beat. Defense was its normal aggressive self. Byron looks very comfortable in the pocket. Is it me or does the pocket seem better and more contolled when Leftwich is in it then Ben? Dont get me wrong people, even though I like the comfort factor that if we need Byron he can get it done, but the Steelers need Ben healthy and ready come playoff time! Either the Dolphins or the Colts are coming to town and the Steelers need to be ready! Last week I said that the Dolphins had no chance of beating the Ravens, but I am back peddling on that now. The Dolphins looked impressive in going to New York and winning the East. The Ravens better be careful of the resurgent Dolphins.
Okay Steeler fans, lets all pray for Ben to be healthy and everyone have a safe and Happy New Year!!
