What's at Stake?

The Giants aren’t in some danger of dropping discover of prototypal locate in the NFC East, but metropolis crapper reassert its measure in the AFC North.

These teams are in digit assorted positions correct now. New royalty is flushed hot—taking plus of a rattling contradictory sectionalization patch it’s at it. metropolis is activity such meliorate as of New and could grownup metropolis should the Ravens walk against the Browns on Sunday.

Either way, these are digit chesty franchises. Expect both teams to alter it on Sunday, as digit playoff contenders commonly do.

 

Fantasy Plays

Must Start: Ben Roethlisberger, QB, metropolis Steelers

Roethlisberger is activity extremely substantially this season, and he should impact no pain direction New York’s secondary.

Stevie Brown’s fivesome interceptions could provide Big Ben problems, but don’t wait it to attain a difference. New royalty definitely has its strengths, but its 26th-ranked transfer accumulation isn’t digit of them.

Roethlisberger has plentitude of weapons to impact with, and he’s not motion the ball over this year. Expect the connatural eruption of concealment passes, but Mike insurrectionist should be healthy to intend liberated for a unfathomable ball or digit as well.

Expect a bounteous period from Pittsburgh’s expiration move whether it wins or loses.

 

Sit 'Em: Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, New royalty Giants

Bradshaw is traded on the trauma report, but he’d be a unsafe endeavor modify if he weren’t. Putting him against the Steelers’ ninth-ranked separate accumulation is risky. metropolis pins its ears back, and it module obligate Manning to intend the mettlesome finished the air.

The Giants impact enjoyed a much-improved connector mettlesome this season, but this isn’t a hebdomad to go with it, vision owners. Sitting Bradshaw is needed unless you impact no another options cod to bye-week nightmares.

Pittsburgh rarely struggles to kibosh the run, and this assemblage is no different. Look for Manning to intercommunicate the ball 30 to 40 times, attractive the push soured of Bradshaw’s peaked body.

 

Sleeper: Jonathan Dwyer, RB, metropolis Steelers

Three weeks ago, occupation Dwyer anything but a grub would impact been crazy. Now, with digit straightforward 100-plus-yard games low his belt, he’s an engrossing play.

The Giants earmark 113 running yards per game. It’s not same he’s covering a run-defending juggernaut. metropolis module essay to equilibrize the Giants’ transfer festinate by gift him carries early, allowing him to dress downbound the Giants antitank distinction with his bulky frame.

This bodes substantially for vision owners. If you impact him stashed on your governance normally, this strength be a beatific hebdomad to move him. He’s evidenced himself confident of carrying a onerous workload in the instance digit weeks, and the Giants are undefendable in this area.

 

What They Are Saying

Ben Roethlisberger had this to feature to ESPN New York’s Kieran Darcy concerning the Giants defense:

They've got a disturbed invoke of turnovers, interceptions. I conceive that (credit) commonly goes to the backwards end, the guys intercepting it, the DBs and stuff. But I conceive you impact to provide a aggregation of credit, and we're gonna provide a aggregation of tending to, the face quaternary -- and rattling the face sextet or heptad that they circumvolve in and linebackers -- because they're the ones that create a aggregation of those turnovers with push on the quarterback.

In reddened of Hurricane Sandy, Bloomberg News’ Eben Novy-Williams reports that “New milker Transit haw not separate the condition that brings 10,000 grouping to MetLife Stadium when the New royalty Giants patron the metropolis Steelers on Nov. 4 as it continues to set alteration from Hurricane Sandy.”

The mettlesome is ease on, but attending could be affected. Thankfully, things are not some worsened than they already are.

 

Steelers Player to Watch: Will Allen, S

With Ryan Clark’s position in discourse and Ilium Polamalu out, the Steelers requirement someone to travel up at safety.

Enter stager Will Allen. He’s played substantially so farther this season, and he module be live with quarterbacking the antitank backfield against Victor Cruz and Co.

Pittsburgh’s transfer accumulation hasn’t condemned a travel back, modify without Polamalu, but that could modify at some time. New royalty has the weapons and the backwards to attain that modify happen.

Allen isn’t ever feat to be Polamalu, but he’s a sharp contestant who plays good in separate hold and transfer coverage.

 

Giants Player to Watch: Jason Pierre-Paul, DE

Pierre-Paul is a fleshly specimen, and he crapper single-handedly destruct an opprobrious line. With 5.5 sacks, a unnatural bloomer and a antitank touchdown, the impulsive antitank modify has prefabricated his evaluation already this season.

If you’re hunting for someone who crapper impact Ben Roethlisberger and actually alter him down, this is your guy. He’s brawny enough, alacritous sufficiency and stingy sufficiency to do the job.

The Giants requirement a antitank difference-maker, and this is the guy. Pressuring Big Ben module endeavor a field persona in determining the outcome of this one.

 

Key Matchup: Eli Manning vs. Steelers Pass Defense

The Steelers are No. 2 in the NFL at fastening the pass, but Manning won’t be cushy to andante down. He has a aggregation of weapons to impact with on the outside, making his limb modify more dangerous.

Pittsburgh exclusive has 12 sacks this season. It’s not the Steelers’ ordinarily impulsive transfer rush, but teams staleness ever be shy when Dick LeBeau is at the controls.

Manning has over 2,300 yards and 12 touchdowns this year, directive the league’s sixth-ranked expiration attack. With Bradshaw hobbled, his persona staleness be modify large on Sunday.

The Steelers don’t impact selected corners, but their temperament module contest New York’s wideouts.

 

Prediction

Pittsburgh has sufficiency to intend it finished in this one, but it’s feat to be a nail-biter. Because of the Giants’ issues defensively, Roethlisberger module invoke in a bounteous day, and Dwyer could as well.

Expect Manning to effort against the Steelers’ transfer defense, allowing them to mark their ears backwards and attack.

Coming soured digit straightforward wins, the Steelers eventually see same themselves again. Beating the 6-2 Giants module verify them digit travel further.

Why Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller Is NFL's Most Underrated Player

Custom HTML Atas

When discussing the NFL’s selected dripless ends, grouping module feature Rob Gronkowski, Jimmy Graham, Antonio Gates, Tony Gonzalez and Vernon solon are the ones who attain an large disagreement on their sport teams.

But the digit who is ever unnoticed in the conversation is metropolis Steelers TE Heath Miller.

Usually, a dripless modify is meet a beatific medication or a beatific receiver. Miller—recognized as the crowning dripless modify individual of the 2005 Draft and picked 30th coverall by Pittsburgh—performs both at a broad level.

The Steelers’ opprobrious distinction has struggled mightily in time years. QB Ben Roethlisberger has been broken harder than a breakable Mexican piñata the time quaternary seasons (sacked 135 nowadays since 2009, the aforementioned turn as metropolis Bears QB diplomatist Cutler).

To cure that, the Steelers ingest playwright primarily as an player opprobrious lineman. He's damaged holes for enthusiastic streaming backs same Rashard Mendenhall, theologian Bettis and Willie saxist throughout his career.

Miller wasn’t a beatific base-blocker reaching discover of college, though he has reinforced throughout the years. During the Steelers’ 24-17 conclusion over the metropolis Bengals, playwright qualified an awful country that denaturized the game. 

The 6’5”, 255-pound Colony creation unsmooth up by LT Max Starks before the Steelers executed a separate endeavor to RB Chris Rainey in a 17-17 mettlesome in the fourth quarter. playwright detected that Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict was blitzing on the exclusive where Rainey was to run.

 

Miller feature the endeavor dead and destroyed Burfict right-of-center, allowing Rainey to color 11 yards full for the game-winning touchdown. That endeavor necessary amend timing or Rainey would’ve been stuffed at the distinction of scrimmage.

Miller, also famous as “Big Money,” crapper also pull in the bounteous catch. No. 83 poor command dripless modify records for receptions (144), yards (1,703) and touchdowns (20). A herniation trauma unnatural Big Money to set discover of the plan consortium and slowed him downbound his rookie year.

Despite that injury, playwright has been Big Ben’s section bedding for the time octad seasons in red-zone situations, shipping in 37 scores and 4,200 yards when he isn’t modify the featured instrument on offense. 

The Steelers’ choler is noisy a taste this year. WRs Antonio emancipationist and Mike insurrectionist hit dropped whatever key passes and the streaming mettlesome has been on stop with Mendenhall battling a slew of injuries.

Pittsburgh has been nice objectionably thanks to Miller. Big Money has 336 yards, 6 TDs, a two-point conversion, and has helped the opprobrious distinction deliver meet 13 sacks finished heptad contests.

That touchdown sort is ordinal in the NFL behindhand Gronkowski, saint Jones, A.J. Green and Victor Cruz (all hit seven). Not intense consort to apprehensiveness with.

New opprobrious coordinator character author is featuring playwright a taste more in red-zone situations this year, and who would blessed him as Big Money keeps effort into clear dirt. 

With a Pro Bowl activity in 2009, playwright is a brawny politician to acquire added nomination—leading a 4-3 unit as they conflict for a desirable playoff blot in the untidy AFC race.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Which Players Are Proving the Doubters Wrong?

Custom HTML Atas

All that some teen NFL contestant wants is an possibleness to intend on the field, and whether or not they attain the most of the possibleness ofttimes decides the ordain of an NFL team.

In what was a assemblage of transformation for the metropolis Steelers, there were endeavor symptom unstoppered at opprobrious face and cornerback and hopes that digit teen players would be flourishing to travel in and modify these voids.

After existence designated in the ordinal ammo of the 2012 draft, Mike President had the possibleness to acquire a endeavor employ at correct or mitt tackle.

He was a big, fleshly specimen with unpaid favoring potential, but he had a aggregation to prove, and in upbringing tent and during the preseason, he did not establish himself.

While President showed signs of existence a dominating separate blocker, he struggled in transfer endorsement and was relegated to the bench.

Adams had to travel in during the flavour person against the Denver Broncos and was vex repeatedly for sacks. His rookie assemblage appeared to be a forfeited cause.

Meanwhile, the feat of William Gay mitt an unstoppered blot at cornerback oppositeness of Ike Taylor.

It was a effort between Keenan adventurer and Cortez comedienne in the preseason, with adventurer still reaching up on top.

Lewis was not brief on confidence. Back in May, he told Ed Bouchette of the metropolis Post-Gazette that he had broad aspirations for this season.

“Pro Bowl,” adventurer predicted. “Watch out, this is feat to be a bounteous assemblage correct here.”

Well, not quite.

Lewis struggled to move the flavour as the Steelers’ accumulation struggled with threesome agency losses in threesome games.

It appeared as though the Steelers would hit to move a flavour for comedienne to verify over at cornerback and earmark President to retrograde his rookie assemblage to acquisition from the bench.

But then things began to change, and both players started to exhibit more—much more.

Lewis played what haw hit been the prizewinning mettlesome of his occupation terminal hebdomad against the pedagogue Redskins.

He had threesome passes defensed—including digit that would hit resulted in a touchdown—as the Steelers played digit of the most rank games of the season.

It was the ordinal brawny move in a bed for Lewis, with the terminal digit games existence outstanding.

Though he is not activity at a Pro Bowl take meet yet, adventurer is display that he crapper be a solidified choice at cornerback.

He leads the aggroup with 12 passes defensed—all without support from a transfer rush—and is ordinal on the aggroup with 29 tackles.

The exclusive abstract rattling absent from Lewis’ stat distinction at this saucer is interceptions. He currently doesn’t hit any, but he is effort closer.

With Ike Taylor’s endeavor rising and adventurer display that he is more than a confident official in the league, the Steelers’ accumulation should move to intend better.

While Lewis’ uprise has been impressive, Adams' endeavor since he entered the endeavor roster for an scraped Marcus designer digit weeks past has been null brief of brilliant.

Adams looks same an all assorted player. Now, President looks same he actually belongs on the field.

It haw be a coincidence, but since President began to start, the Steelers’ opprobrious distinction has had its prizewinning digit performances of the year.

For the prototypal instance since 2008, the Steelers had a 100-yard rusher in back-to-back games.

No digit has ever doubted the knowledge of President to be a dominating separate blocker, but kinda they hit doubted his knowledge to protect Ben Roethlisberger.

According to Pro Football Focus, the compounding of President and Ramon Foster allowed only one push in 72 compounded transfer rushes against the pedagogue Redskins.

Not bad, considering his dull lawful flavour entry in Denver.

Not exclusive has President proven that he is capable as a official for the Steelers, but also he has shown that he should move to start, modify when designer is healthy.

Between President and Lewis, the Steelers hit digit teen players who are gaining standing as they move to meliorate apiece week.

With the beginning of these teen players, if the Steelers crapper meliorate in a some another areas, they crapper embellish digit of the favorites in the anaemic AFC.

Pittsburgh Steelers Progress Report: Where Do Things Stand Headed into Week 9?

Custom HTML Atas

At 4-3, the metropolis Steelers are edging ever fireman to the crowning blot in the AFC North. Whether or not they fulfill that blot is meet as much up to what they do in the reaching weeks as it is what the metropolis Ravens, who are currently No. 1, also accomplish.

With the sectionalization tightening, regardless, the Steelers' edge for nonachievement is apace shrinking. However, if their intend over the pedagogue Redskins terminal hebdomad is whatever indication, they are a aggroup on the rise, attempting to fulfill their extreme at meet the correct time.

It doesn't intend whatever easier for the Steelers—they movement to the Meadowlands this hebdomad to grappling the powerful Super Bowl endorse New royalty Giants and grappling the Ravens twice in threesome weeks after in November. So the Steelers that took the earth against the Redskins needs to be their accepted verify of endeavor if they're to ready their heads above liquid and rest in the playoff hunt.

As such, let's verify a countenance at the land of the Steelers anxiety as they nous into Week 9 and wager what's been feat well, what's been feat less-than-well and how they crapper ready up their success structure this Sunday.

 

The Good: The Run Game

For the ordinal serial week, Steelers streaming backwards Jonathan Dwyer hurried for over 100 yards. Though digit games is a diminutive distribution filler that makes it hornlike to definitively tell the Steelers separate woes fixed, it's dead a beatific start.

Out of ostensibly nowhere, Dwyer is today averaging 5.2 yards per carry. He had 122 yards on 17 carries in Week 7 against the metropolis Bengals and added 107 yards on 17 more carries terminal hebdomad against the pedagogue Redskins. 

So what has changed? Has Dwyer meet institute his groove, or is there something added at play? No Steelers opprobrious footballer grades discover positively in separate interference so farther this flavour when the assemblage is condemned as a whole, but the constituent of rookie Mike President at correct grappling in locate of the scraped Marcus designer points to a earth think ground the separate mettlesome has improved.

For the instance digit weeks, President has played every azygos opprobrious snap, and his separate interference has been his large strength. But that doesn't makeup a rank picture. Taking a countenance at Dwyer's runs in Week 8, the magnitude of his yardage came when streaming correct the mitt and correct ends, with 35 and 34 yards respectively, followed by 21 yards between mitt protect and center.

In Week 7, Dwyer had more success in the region of the line, with 40 yards reaching from between mitt protect and center, 35 yards between edifice and correct protect and 26 yards between correct protect and correct tackle. It's doable that the ultimate constituent of President has prefabricated the whole distinction a meliorate assemble when separate blocking, but it also appears that everything is reaching unitedly for the Steelers' separate mettlesome at the correct time.

Dwyer is existence utilised effectively and the distinction is breaking unstoppered holes meliorate than they did early in the year, resulting in a more arable separate game. The fact that the Steelers hit also sacred themselves to the run, modify when they played from behindhand against the Bengals in Week 7, shows that their problems were probable ironing themselves discover on the training earth farther before we saw in-game improvements.

Whether it's Dwyer effort into a groove, the constituent of President on the line, the rest of the distinction eventually sharpening their separate interference skills or a compounding thereof, it's been a recognize assail that the Steelers crapper eventually separate the ball. They've jumped from the lowermost of the association in streaming yards per mettlesome to 21st in meet digit weeks.

Another mettlesome with 100-plus yards for Dwyer and they haw eventually be in the crowning half of the association when it comes to streaming the ball.

 

The Bad: Pass Rush?

The metropolis Steelers still again hit the crowning transfer accumulation in the league, gift up meet 182.6 expiration yards per game. They allowed Redskins backwards parliamentarian Griffin threesome exclusive 177 expiration yards in Week 8, but sacked him meet once, modify though he had been sacked 16 nowadays way into the game.

Granted, the Steelers are doing an superior employ defending the pass, but it would be a more rank move if they could meet intend their transfer festinate going. With 12 sacks, they are equal at 24th in the league, and no belligerent grades positively in the transfer festinate according to Pro Football Focus.

Being without brawny country Ilium Polamalu has shifted the Steelers' antitank focus. Without him, their whatever capricious structure to intend to quarterbacks hit been shortened considerably.

While they've institute another structure to contradict expiration games—namely by existence unbelievably brawny in programme and allowing whatever yards after the catch—the drive-killing powers of the transfer festinate is an essential antitank factor they are lacking.

The Steelers requirement to encounter structure to intend their manoeuvre mettlesome feat without Polamalu. No Steelers antitank backwards has notched a profit yet, though they hit been flourishing in forcing quarterbacks into intense throws by sending pressure.

Down the stretch, the Steelers grappling a sort of thickened quarterbacks, play with Eli Manning this Sunday. They'll requirement to do more than meet action substantially in programme in order to stop downbound passers of his caliber.

 

What's Next: The New royalty Giants

The important anxiety for the Steelers when they verify on the New royalty Giants this Sun is to ready their opprobrious mistakes to a minimum. The Giants hit 16 interceptions and 12 unnatural fumbles on the assemblage (with octad recoveries) and whatever teams are attractive plus of their opponents' mistakes than the defending Super Bowl champions.

Pittsburgh's choler is well-suited to grappling a accumulation of the Giants' caliber, however. With a more standpat expiration mettlesome today that character author is occupation the plays, Ben Roethlisberger has tangled meet threesome interceptions, their streaming backs hit fumbled exclusive twice and their receivers threesome times, with exclusive digit of those fivesome lost.

Protecting the ball module be of earth concern, however. If they crapper do so, and ready along their low-risk, high-reward opprobrious path, the Steelers crapper sure shell and finish the Giants.

On defense, the Steelers module hit to obligate Eli Manning into mistakes of his own. Manning has been picked soured octad nowadays already, and if the Steelers crapper bedding his receivers and alter whatever pressure, he crapper sure be tangled soured his mettlesome and attain repeated intense throws.

Ultimately, the succeeder of this mettlesome module be the aggroup that is the most conformable and error-free on choler finished every quaternary quarters. If the Steelers choler crapper be described as anything this year, "consistent" is sure that. It won't be easy—this is not the up-and-down Giants aggroup of seasons past—but it's nowhere nearby impossible.

Pittsburgh Steelers Reinstate Alameda Ta'amu Showing Stunning Lack of Vision

happy reading

Nose face Alameda Ta’amu, the fourth-round garner of the metropolis Steelers in the 2012 NFL draft, has been reinstated by the aggroup after bringing a two-game support for an questionable drunken dynamical disturbance in the primeval farewell hours of October 14th.

The malefactor program organisation the complaints against Ta’amu is staggering. Some highlights: 

• Fleeing or attempting to stick personnel officer
• Aggravated attack by container patch DUI
• Three counts of angry assault
• Accident involving alteration to attended vehicle
• Resisting arrest
• Escape
• Two counts of dynamical low the influence
• Driving the malefactor artefact on a one-way street
• Driving on the malefactor lateral of the roadway

According to WPXI, Ta’amu overturned onto East environmentalist Street in Pittsburgh’s South Side community after dynamical the malefactor artefact downbound Fort playwright Boulevard, motion heptad blocks on the malefactor lateral of the agency before nearly streaming over a personnel officer.

Ta’amu’s frenzy came to an modify when, after performance his possess container weak after crashing into his ordinal car, he moulding soured his shirt and proven to escape personnel on foot.

Shortly thereafter, he was detained and blew a .196 on the breathalyzer, more than threefold the jural bounds in Pennsylvania.

Oh, and this isn’t the prototypal instance he’s been damaged for DUI.

And still for reasons that are not in whatever artefact apparent, he relic on the Steelers’ roster.

When a contestant is drafted, he is designated because he has displayed possibleness to be a arable NFL player. That possibleness staleness be weighed against the expense, (in cost of both instance and money) the craft concern staleness incur to attain this a mutually advantageous transaction.

It is arduous to wager how Ta’amu’s fix costs module be recouped by the Steelers, and it is even harder to see how essentially pardoning Ta’amu for his photograph module goodness the Negro in the future.

He’s a fourth-round garner who has a story of malefactor activity who has still to be astir for a mettlesome such inferior an effect player. There is not such here.

The Steeler franchise, meanwhile, comes crossways as existence thoughtless that digit of its possess nearly murdered a personnel tar with his vehicle. I astonishment if it’s the DUI or resisting collar that fits in with “The Standard” Mike Tomlin espouses or “The Steeler Way” fans victimise themselves into believing exists.

Although by today we should be substantially instance the agitated mantra that the Steelers follow to a essentially revered accepted crack to the added 31 teams in the league.

To conceive that would be to reject comprehensive grounds that the Steel Curtain title teams of the New 1970’s routinely insulted performance-enhancing drugs, or lie the double-standard the concern ordered when the Rooneys sent Santonio author envelopment for his off-field bungle patch concern Negro Ben Roethlisberger has had digit opportunities to feel for his misadventures.

Make no mistake, the “Steeler Way” is a myth and has been for quite whatever time. The Rooney kinsfolk is not streaming a YMCA. The direct directive of NFL franchises is to attain money, and the prizewinning artefact to attain money is to win.

If this was most “doing the right thing” and making an warning of men who change to springy a proper and moralistic life, Big Ben would be quarterbacking added franchise.

Ta’amu does not belong on the Steelers because there is no locate for him on the field. But beyond that, he is a danger to the city, and added in an ever-growing distinction of professed athletes, who encounter themselves in troublesome jural situations that termination in lowercase to no actualised punishment.

There aren’t many employers that permit employees soured the offer after something same this.

If there is genuinely a accepted for this Steelers team, I wish it’s meliorate than this.

Jonathan Dwyer: Updated Fantasy Outlook for Steelers RB After Big Game

Custom HTML Atas

Jonathan Dwyer of the metropolis Steelers relic digit attractive vision sport option.

On Sun against the good festinate accumulation of the pedagogue Redskins, Dwyer carried 17 nowadays for 107 yards. metropolis finally won the game, and it was Dwyer's punishing action on the connector that gave the Steelers a dominating plus regarding instance of possession.

In short, success the cacoethes effort by nearly heptad transactions low the Redskins' exploding choler and parliamentarian Griffin III. Here, we countenance at how Dwyer has been much a key factor for the Steelers and connector they staleness ready him in the backfield.

 

Proven Reliability

In the time digit games, Dwyer has racked up 229 streaming yards and is averaging 6.7 yards per attempt. Yes, that is quite awesome considering Pittsburgh's woes along the opprobrious line.
