Steelers open as favorites

We MUST get pressure on Big Ben or its gonna be a long day.

Look what happened when we played McNair, he sat back there and tore us up with a crappy corps of receivers to say the least. McNair's previous QB rating was a lowsy 64, like 128 after playing us.

We simply do not defend the pass well at all when we do not pressure the QB. Bullocks looks like a rookie back there and our corners are iffy at best so pressuring the QB is a must all season long. We face one of the elite receivers in the league in Hines Ward and can ill afford to let Big Ben sit back there and play pitch and catch with this guy.
