LB - Terence Garvin
T - Byron Stingily
TE - Jesse James
DE - Stephon Tuitt

WHO IS OUR BACK UP QB TODAY?
Some guy named Tyler Murphy, of Boston College, who was activated from the team’s practice squad on Saturday.
Murphy is listed as a WR on the Steelers roster http://www.steelers.com/team/roster/tyl ... 140bb3de5/
Murphy was a rookie free agent following the last years NFL Draft and appeared the team’s first two games of the season and caught one pass for 16 yards in Week 1 at New England. He was released on September 23 and was signed to the team’s Practice Squad on September 24. He will wear No. 16.


To make room for Murphy, the Steelers placed cornerback Cortez Allen on the team’s Reserve/Injured List.

We do get linebackers Ryan Shazier and Jarvis Jones back today.

Ben doesn't surprise me, and doesn't necessarily worry me. I expected him back no sooner than Cincy when he went down. Stoked to have Shazier and Jones back, particularly Shazier. BUMMED about Tuitt. That knee or whatever must have happened late last week. I never saw him leave, and wasn't aware of it until I started looking at the injury report around Wednesday to see about BR7. Hope Tuitt isn't gone long, he's been a force in the middle. Excited for Landry Jones, even more excited that Vick is DONE.

Today is squarely on the coach and his staff. This is a game that the Steelers should control and dominate from start to finish. This team has been super susceptible to trap games under Momlin. I look forward to being pleasantly surprised when he has his team show up disciplined and ready with no thoughts about next week in their heads...

GO Stillers!!!

Come to think of it, who gets the start at RDE then? Does Walton start in place of Tuitt? Is it Cam Thomas? Do we put McCullers at NT and scoot McClendon over to the right? Anyone know?

Nice 3rd down carry for D. Williams.

Interesting the difference in the offense when the opposing Defense has to respect the threat of a pass from an actual QB.

[thesteelhammer Profile]

nice tackle for loss by Dupree. shed that block like it was a 10 year old.
need more of our defenders to do that

absolutely

[thesteelhammer Profile]

TE runs over 3 of our defenders for a 1st down

[thesteelhammer Profile]

Defense needs to get off the field

[Pump-N-Iron Profile]

Watch for Debo to light West up at some point in this game!

[thesteelhammer Profile]

big 3rd down

[thesteelhammer Profile]

TE is killing us.
Our Secondary sucks

[Pump-N-Iron Profile]

Why the fuck are we playing our corners so soft? Alex Smith is NOT Joe Montana!

agree....of course our corners aren't Mel Blount either

[Pump-N-Iron Profile]

Without Tuitt in the game, we have NO pocket push!

[thesteelhammer Profile]

at least d held them to a FG.
Need to answer with a TD.

Completely agree! FatAss Andy Reid must be calling plays from the Haley Wuss-Out playbook!

[thesteelhammer Profile]

D-line has no push & can't stuff run
LBs can't cover
DBs can't cover

other than that, our D is fine

I can't tell if they are just lucky, or starting to get good, but they've been giving up a shit-ton of yards, without giving up a lot of points.
