Comments on: Will the offensive line be the demise of the Steelers in ’08? http://www.scoresreport.com/2008/08/13/will-the-offensive-line-be-the-demise-of-the-steelers-in-%e2%80%9908/ The National Sports Blog Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:52:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Here We Go http://www.scoresreport.com/2008/08/13/will-the-offensive-line-be-the-demise-of-the-steelers-in-%e2%80%9908/#comment-362674 Here We Go Tue, 28 Apr 2009 02:17:03 +0000 http://www.scoresreport.com/?p=4016#comment-362674 I thought it was funny that I would be reading CURRENT articles and saw a link to THIS page. I watched plenty of Steelers games last year. ALL of them to be exact. Mr. Stalter hit then nail on the head mentioning Ben's sacks that come due to holding onto the ball entirely too long. When Ben learns better timing or just how to get rid of the ball, his sack numbers will drop substantially. Don't get me wrong. I'm not being an apologist for the line. They certainly sucked it up a lot in many-a-game... But this is a 60 minute game... And the 2008 Sixty-Minute-Men won numero SIX. The only stat that matters at the end of the day is the wins column. Pittsburgh has a tradition of Ws. With or without solid O-Line play. Got a problem with that? Go back and watch every single game Pittsburgh came from behind last season. You will see a line playing cohesive when they need it most. 6 > 3 /Where's Dermontti Dawson or Mike Webster when you need 'em? Hartwig has got to go.

Or maybe he didn't see how badly Roethlisberger got the shit beat ouf of him during the regular season. Apparently Lewis didn’t watch too many Steelers games last year.

Their running game is the bread and butter of the offense. The Steelers cannot depend on Big Ben's arm to bring them to victory. If the Steelers cannot block, then they will have a long season.

This team used to be able to manhandle opposing defenses with a monster line and Jerome Bettis. Those days are over. The Steelers were physically overmatched last year against the Jaguars. Bill Cohwer would probably have insisted on drafting a lineman with the first or second pick in the draft, but instead they went with position players on offense. What for serious problems this season. I agree – the Steelers are in trouble. This team used to be able to manhandle opposing defenses with a monster line and Jerome Bettis. Those days are over.
