I think Levi Brown and DRC are going to be key players in the big game. I think the Steelers will key their pass rush on Levi because I'm sure they've looked at how many sacks he's given up this year. We need Levi to have the game of his life (Duece as well).
DRC is a rookie and is from Tampa. I'm hoping he can handle all of the EXTRA distractions playing in his home town. It's going to be hard for him to block out the attention he's getting from family and friends especially being a rookie and maybe not realizing the magnitude of it all. If these guys have solid games I think we'll be okay.

I believe they'll centre their blitz through the A and B gaps because Philly tried off the edges and it didn't work. They guy with biggest responsibility will be Sendlein with help from Wells, Lutui and whoever is in the backfield.

Didn't Woodley have 2 sacks against Levi in the game last year?

The most important guys in this week's game will be the interior trench guys. Seindlein, Wells, Lutui, Watson and Bryan Robinson will all be key to victory IMO. If Casey Hampton can collapse our pocket we are screwed. Likewise, if we can stuff their running game early, while putting some points on the board when we have the ball, thus forcing Roethlisberger to actually throw the ball I love our chances.

Wells and Seindlien are not power guys and will have to control Hampton. That worries me more than anything. Lebeau is no dummy and I expect LBs and Safeties to attack there. If they get pressure outside I doubt it will be scheme, just Harrison/Woodley beating Levi and Gandy one on one. I think we will see a lot of 2 TE sets no FB early to control that and get the offense settled down. It may be a case of just not having a huge negative play early on to build some confidence.
