Tuesday, January 27, 2009 -- The Pittsburgh Steelers took the AFC North with a solid 12- 4 record and have been favored throughout the soccer jerseys
playoffs They have a disciplined, tough defense and an offense that possesses decent scoring potential.
Playoff Review
The Steelers earned a bye because they won their division and posted the second best record in the conference. In the divisional round, they beat the San Diego Chargers 35- 24, and in the conference game, they were victorious over the Soccer jerseys
Baltimore Ravens 23- 14. They were favored in both games and performed as expected.
Keys to Success
Willie Parker: Running back Willie Parker who has been injured throughout the season and putting in sub-par performances, had 146 yards and two scores against the Chargers, which was his best game in over a year. His NHL Jerseys
second outing, which was versus the Ravens, was substandard. He needs to crank it up for the Super Bowl. The Steelers need 100 yards from him.
Passing Attack: Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes have put up good numbers but not overly impressive ones. And quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who has two touchdown passes in two games, has not NHL jerseys
thrown a pick. His completion percentage is 56.9% and rating stands at 92.6. The rating is good and the completion rate is okay but certainly not great. Ward has a sprained knee but should play.
Defense: In two games, the Pitt “D” took in four interceptions and recovered two fumbles. They were especially effective against Joe Flacco and Ugg Boots
the Ravens. They need to pressure Warner and control the run, limiting James and Hightower to under 50 yards.
Clock Control: If the Steelers can effectively run the ball and throw short passes, they will control the clock, giving them enough time to score and keeping the ball out of Cheap Ugg Boots Warner’s hands. They must eat up time with the run and wear down the Arizona defense.
Final Analysis
Pittsburgh goes into the Super Bowl as the favorite. That’s nothing new. But they have not played a playoff team with as much experience as the Arizona Cardinals. Additionally, Arizona possesses a lot of offensive weapons. Pressure Warner all day, shut down the run and take Fitzgerald totally out of the game and the Steelers win.
