Since we're on the subject of defensive backs, here's a thought that should keep any Steeler fan awake the next couple days before the game Monday night....Andre Johnson is most likely going to be matched up most of the game with(gulp) ... Willie Gay. Yes sir, William "lock 'em down" Gay... our current #1 corner that is currently playing in his 8th season in the NFL... has played in 118 games... started 66 of them... and has a grand total of (drumroll please)..... 6 interceptions!!! That's right.. 6 interceptions in 7+ years in the league. Probably the worst ball skills of any NFL defensive back I've ever seen is going to be guarding a big, physical reciever with some of the best ball skills I've ever seen. Even if Andre is a little past his prime, he is going to eat #22's lunch all night... as so many, much less talented recievers have done in the past. This would be fun to watch if I wasn't a Steeler fan.
That is rather horrifying to consider.
