Looking To Be The Stonger Team This Time Around

In week two the Pittsburgh Steelers were defeated by the Baltimore Ravens 26-6. What stood out in that game the most was the physical play of the Baltimore Ravens and the lack thereof from the Pittsburgh Steelers. For Sunday night game the Pittsburgh Steelers look to be a team that will bring more physicality than the previous Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh,Steelers game.

In last Sunday’s win over the Indianapolis Colts the Pittsburgh Steelers defense was very physical for 60 minutes. Consistently stopping the run and getting after quarterback Andrew Luck. In this game vs the Baltimore Ravens it will take being physical on offense with Legarette Blount and Le’Veon Bell pound the ball in between the tackles The offensive line will need to set the tone early as it did last,week vs the Indianapolis Colts. In week two Baltimore forced multiple fumbles in the passing game that were key early in the game. This time around the offense is much improved and with more touches to Bell,and Blount that should reduce and/or resolve the turnover problem. The physcial play of the defense will be needed to pressure quarterback Joe Flacco to prevent Flacco from becoming comfortable in the pocket. Flacco is one of the best in the game throwing the deep ball but it will be hard for Flacco to do that if Flacco is constantly on his back.The head coaches will he counted on to motivate the players more than what they already are.

A Pittsburgh Steeler,and Baltimore Ravens game is always a head knocker of a game. The team that sets the time early could ride that momentum all the way through. This is a game in which a certain player always seems to emerge. Many times it’s on defense. Trash talking,unnecessary penalties will be called especially illegal contact penalties. But in these games a forced fumble,sack,interception,crucial three yard run in the fourth quarter,or a 10 yard slant play could break open it deal the deal. There are some young players in this game that will be looking to make a name for themselves. Players such as linebacker Ryan Shazier,wide receiver Martavis Bryant,and defensive end Stephon Tuitt. The Baltimore Ravens,vs the Pittsburgh Steelers games always seems shake up the playoff standings. This year will be no different. It’s, simple bring it to win it or not bring it and get embarrassed.
