Flip_Side Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Wow, Parker will get a huge amount of carries I'm guessing? Cedrick Wilson should benefit also, and Heath Miller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Parker may get a bunch of carries but to me this only lessons his chances at a hugh day. I mean no Ben and now no Ward. Defense is going to creep up to that line until a real threat is established. I think Batch comes right out of the gate throwing very deep.

With the starting QB out AND the top WR out why in the world wouldn't their be 8 men in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsfan Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 From a Miami POV this has gone from a very tough game and most likely a loss to a still tough but winnable game. Maybe even a game you'd say they should win. No QB or # 1 WR is tough to overcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Mort is usually very reliable, but, there aren't any reports of this on the Steelers site or web yet. Ward practiced yesterday, and I thought it was looking good for him to start. No Ben & No Ward will be tough to overcome. Parker's running numbers might suffer a bit, but, I think he makes up for it in the passing game. I'm just disappointed that I won't get to see Hines or Roethlisberger in game #1. Here's to hoping they are back for Jacksonville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steelers will be fired up being their first home game since they went on their run last year. The Dolphins need to make plays early to take the crowd out of the game. I see it being a pretty low scoring game though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 No problem. The Steelers probably have the best football team that's ever played the game. They could lose Porter and Polalmalu as well and they'll still spank the Fins by at least 40 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip_Side Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Our secondary hasn't looked too great, Batch does have a good chance this game. I don't see Pitt rolling over this game at all,plus it's in Pittsburgh, the crowd will be crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Neutron Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Any chance Holmes comes up big in this game? I doubt it, but stranger things have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Any chance Holmes comes up big in this game? I doubt it, but stranger things have happened. No, if Ward is out, Cedric Wilson & Nate Washington will be the starters. Holmes will be #3, so there is a chance he could contribute, but, I wouldn't be on it. Nate Washington could be the sleeper.

I see it being a pretty low scoring game though. Oh no doubt. I think now it is a toss up game. Before I think Pitt at home on opening night was a huge fav in the game. 50/50 now IMO either way no surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjpro11 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I still have yet to see or hear this from anywhere else other than here.. i saw mort on espn and he said ward was the good news for pittsburgh thursday. maybe you heard him wrong.. i dont know. PPG Ward practices Hines Ward, listed as questionable, practiced yesterday but two others listed as questionable did not: Tuman (hamstring) and center Chukky Okobi (knee). "Hines got through the whole practice and seemed pretty good at the end," Cowher said. "He's good and ready to go." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Oh Hines Ward now will he play, We may find out in another day. If he does, the team will shine, It won't matter if Big Ben's fine. On the way to a league high wins, Their first victim will be the Fins. Can't wait for the real poet to show it......in a week, this was just a peek.

piratesownninjas Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward (hamstring) practiced Monday, Sept. 4, and appears ready to play in Week 1. He is listed as questionable for the game. Head coach Bill Cowher feels his No. 1 wideout should be good to go. This was from today, not yesterday. Ward will play.
