This week we talk with the folks over at NicePickCowher.com Check out our answers to their questions over on their site.
What Scares You About the Bengals?
The loss of superstar TroyPolamalu has thrown our usually dominant defense into disarray. We only have 2 sacks total for the entire year because our linebackers have been used more in coverage. Then we have our safety situation where Polamalu's replacement, Tyrone Carter, also appears to be out this week. That leaves second year man Ryan Mundy to make his first ever NFL start.
Long story short, our pass defense hasn't been good this year. You have some fella taking the snaps, Carson Palmer I believe is his name, who's a pretty good passer.
What Match-Up Makes You Feel Confident in the Steelers?
Big Ben vs. your secondary. When I saw Roy Williams on Hard Knocks, I admit I laughed aloud. I remember him getting beaten like a drum when we played Dallas last season. Not to mention, any secondary that lets Kyle Freakin' Orton pile up 250 yards passing on them has got to be weak.
Best Current Steelers Player most Bengal Fans have Never Heard Of?
Keep your eye on Stefan Logan. He's our new punt/kick returner, a refugee from the CFL the Steelers rescued to help their anemic special teams. He's been one broken tackle away from breaking one a few times already this season and I have a feeling this may be his week.
Who Wins the Game and What's the Score?
Steelers 31-28.
If there was a steel cage match instead of a football game featuring one current player, who do you nominate?
Hines Ward vs. Keith Rivers. It has all the makings of the classic WWE grudge match. Rivers wants revenge for Hines breaking his jaw. Hines wants to lay the smack down on his candy ass. I can see a titanic struggle with neither man giving an inch. Then just as Hines is about to win, "No Chance In Hell" plays and Roger Goodell does a Vince McMahon strut down to the ring. He informs the crowd they're changing the rules for no good reason so Rivers can win. It's Bret "Hitman" Hart all over again.
