The Steelers Need To Take The Tigers By The Tail

Search Amazon.com for Steelers The (5-2) Pittsburgh Steelers need a win over the (2-5) Cincinnati Bengals to keep pace with the (6-2) division leading Baltimore Ravens. The Steelers are 2-1 since the return of quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger and Monday night will be a test of two AFC North rivals.

Ben's return has accelerated the Steelers' passing game and with the emergence of WR Mike Wallace and the acquisition of former Steeler wideout, Antwaan Randel El, Pittsburgh is set to make some big plays. Key players to watch are Hines Ward, Heath Miller and Troy Polamalu.

Beside a potent offense, the Steelers have one of the top defenses in the League. Lawrence Timmons has emerged as as star at linebacker. With James Harrison and James Farrior they may best the most formidable linebacking group in the NFL.

The Bengals are hungry for a win, especially in their division. They'll have to solve the Steelers 'D" and slow down Pittsburgh's Rashard Mendenhall to get a 'W'. The Bengals are coming off a 22-14 loss to the Miami Dolphins and with Chad Ochcinco and T O, the Bengals are looking for an upset. Steelers if you take these cats for pets, they just might bite you.

Antwann Randle El Signs With The Washington Redskins!

Well, he's gone. The Pittsburgh Steelers quadruple threat wide receiver/quarterback/running back/kick returner, Antwann Randle El signed a 31 million dollar seven year contract to play for the Washington Redskins. Even with the raised salary cap the Steelers couldn't afford to meet an offer like that. Randle El, who some thought should have been MVP of Super Bowl XL, also turned down an offer from his hometown Chicago Bears. Now the the Steelers will probably plug recently acquired wide receiver, Cedric Wilson into the slot vacated by Randle El. The Steelers must also concentrate on keeping some other free agents likeBarrett Brooks OT, Brett Keisel LB, Charlie Batch QB, Chris Hope S, Clint Kriewaldt LB, DeShea Townsend CB, Jerame Tuman TE, Kimo von Oelhoffen DE, Quincy Morgan WR, Sean Morey WR, Verron Haynes RB RFA - Ike Taylor CB. That's Pittsburgh Steelers news.
