The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Philadelphia Eagles this friday night @ Heinz Field for their preseason home opener. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30pm EST & can be viewed on KDKA Pittsburgh/FSN.
After going through 10 days of intense training camp @ St. Vincent's College, this will be a chance for the veterans to strut their stuff & the rookies to show that they have what it takes to be considered a true "Man of Steel".
As expected, Ben Roethlisber will start as QB. Followed shortly by Charlie Batch, Dennis Dixon, & Mike Potts. The rest of the vets will probably see a series of two.
All eyes will then be on the newcomers. Those expected to return punts include: Eddie Drummond (former Penn State WR), Mewelde Moore (former Viking), & Jeremy Bloom. Kickoffs returns will be handled by Rashard Mendenhall (this years number 1 draft pick), Willie Reid, & Moore. Also, keep an eye on Limas Sweed (rookie WR), Gary Russell (HB), & Jonathan Dekker (TE).
Players not seeing action this friday are: Troy Polamolu (hamstring injury), Casey Hampton (PUP list), Cody Boyd (shoulder), & Anthony Smith (groin strain)...
Look for the Steelers to come out playing hard and fast against their cross-state rivals. Head Coach, Mike Tomlin expects his squad to play w/ the intensity of a regular season game. A loss is NOT factored into the equation...
Football season has arrived!!!!! "Here We Go Steelers!!!!!, Here We Go!!!!!"
