ESPN Injury Reports

Their two primary backups at ILB are out and their starting ILB is questionable. That's pretty noteworthy

Edit - Not to mention their starting Center.

Glad to see someone else noticed...I hope Foote (ribs) and Farrior (groin) start (key injuries for ILBs). OLB Haggans (groin). Top backup ILB and best special teams player in AFC North Clint Kriewaldt doubtful too! Starting Safety has hamstring? (test him deep)!

Center? who's making line calls?

These injuries look major to me....they weaken the interior on both offense and defense. Saints interior lines have played well this season. I like us running the ball and stopping the inside run. I also like our chances with the deep ball.

I'm feeling better about this game, since the Steelers may not be able to play old school football (Saints Achilles heal IMO).
