Pitt Steelers

There’s Some Hittin Goin On!

I apologize for the overzealous use of the apostrophized abbreviations but I was hoping that it would emphasize the statement. We all know that the NFL is a rough sport and we often criticize the officials for some of the penalties that we see called and react by screaming out. Come on! Let them play! Put the QB in a tutu if you are going to treat him that way. But, damn, anyone who saw that hit at the end of the Jets game on Anquan Boldin knows of which I write. I guess he fractured a sinus membrane. OK, now I may not know much about the inner workings of the human anatomy, but I know I have been elbow-deep in my sinus cavity and failed to puncture any membrane. My guess is that his brain bounced off the walls of his skull like a racquetball enough times and hard enough that the membrane could not withstand the force. If it wasn't for his facemask, it may have ended up in the end zone. Based on that injury and some fallout from the Steelers-Ravens heavyweight brawl on Monday Night Football, we get to this week's waiver wire hotties.

QB Kyle Orton (CHI): Orton has taken a lot of heat over the last two years thanks to an offensive scheme that forced him to limit his deep throws to 10 yards. However, it looks like the Bears finally understand how throwing the ball long and opening the passing game a bit can help an offense. The Bears step inside Ford Field this week to face a pathetic Lions defense and Orton should enjoy his gameplan.

RB Deuce McAllister (NO): I am not sure what Deuce did to get himself into Sean Payton's doghouse as he was relegated to the DND-CD list 2 weeks ago, but he undid it and got the rock last week and showed that he still has some life left in those balky legs of his. Running against the Viking defense is no easy task, but there is a chance that he could be a major TD factor in this offense once again after being left for fantasy death.

RB Le'Ron McClain (BAL): I am leaving McClain on the list again this week since he was still available in almost 30% of Maximum Fantasy Sports leagues. Willis McGahee left MNF due to an injury and McClain ran like a man possessed against a solid Steelers defense.

RB Warrick Dunn (TB): Dunn has been factoring nicely into the Tampa Bay offense. He is a nice change-of-pace running back that is always a threat when catching a swing pass. He is definitely a nice option this week at Denver as there is a good chance that even the Bucs offense can put up some good points.

RB Mewelde Moore (PITT): This may be a one-week move, but a good one if you need a Bye week fill in as he is all Pittsburgh really has for this week.

WR Steve Breaston (AZ): Breaston is the benefactor of the Boldin injury. Actually, he had already been working in nicely as the 3rd WR in their vertical game. You can expect opposing defenses to double and triple team Larry Fitzgerald, so Breaston will get more Looks than many number 1 receivers.

WR Steve Smith (NYG): After factoring into the Giants offense more-and-more down the stretch last year, Smith has been a non-factor this season. With Plaxico Burress suspended this coming week, Smith could be a nice sleeper against the Seahawks.

Anyone still think the Steelers are overrated?

The Steelers would and will beat Tennessee. I think its obvious tennessee woint beb able to run the ball against the steelers. So, do you really think Kerry Collins could move the ball against that defense? And everyone says how great the Giants are...well the steelers lost to them because of a muffed punt with 3 min left in the game. Pitt destroyed......destroyed the pats last night

I never thought the Steelers were overrated. Even before yesterday's game I was saying that they are one of the best teams in the AFC.
