Unless it is worse. I know preseason doesn't mean a thing but our defensive showing the last couple of games has be worried. Sunday, hurry up and get here, so our questions can be answered.

You hope the defense doesn't play like last year's Superbowl? The defense dominated them in the first half. Yes, there was a little prevent that went on at the end, but Santonio made a once in a lifetime grab.

I hope they play like they did last year, especially in the playoffs. They forced like what 10 turnovers in those 4 games?

And held all 4 opponents under 100 yards rushing an average of less than 73 yards.

Also did you notice how many times Roethlesberger got away from the Titans rush? It's not just our guys that can't corral him.

But what I noticed in watching two of the NFL's best defenses last night is that Pitt and Tenn defenders attack the ball full speed and don't miss often when they get there. Even their Cornerbacks do it.

Our guys, especially our Corners, tend to stand around and wait for the ball to come to them or if they do attack the ball they overrun it (Like Palamalu did early in the game as he went flying by the Titan ball carrier.).

Big Ben is amazing in the pocket, and for a big guy he may be better throwing when moving. No, it was not just us. He's tough to bring down. As for tackling, this has been a problem for years. IN the playoffs we saw team tackling and swarming the ball. Even if players didn't make the tackle, they ate the blocker up that turned the play back into teammates or slowed the player up enough that the defensive flow could catch them. I also saw it the first part of preseason game 1 & 2. Let's just hope they can start playing like that again. Our offense will score (don't buy the hype of presseason). We will win or lose based on our defense.

I agree, CardinalChris. It will be tough for them to play that way for whole games at a time, but for as long as we need to get "safely ahead", until Davis' defense takes hold 100%, maybe that's the way it will have to be.

As our defense showed last year, nearly no lead is "safely ahead".
