said he wonders if Arians will be obstuse / stubborn and not use a FB/run the ball next week - I think we NEED to do this, establish some early manhood in the game next week, regardless of the opponent.

I think ARIANS is an egotistical career loser and will botch the Steelers chance's this year.

To those of you who say 'look what we did in 2005, with Ben coming out and throwing' - well that was GENIUS b/c Cower/Whiz did something UNUSUAL. That will knock us out round one with this team if we think we are going to throw ourselves to victory.

The unusual thing THIS year would be to line up in the I and stuff it down opponents throats (the best that we can do)

At least if we show the I, teams will react accordingling and this will open up the play action and passing lanes.

I think the other part that is different about 2005 from this year is that year, towards the end of the year, the offensive line started to show some signs of improvement in the first Indy game.

That hasn't happened this year. The O-line is still a glaring weakness, as is Ben's propensity to hold on to the ball too long. You can hide those weaknesses somewhat in the regular season, but they will be exposed in the playoffs.
