What are the expectations?

The starters probably won't play very long. I am expecting the starting defense to play hard after last week's debacle.

jarvis especially had better show some fire. Mitchel can stop posing and make some plays.

Which WR wants to make the team?
 
I would like to see the starting D minus Polamalu and the starting O minus Ben. Also sitting the few players nursing injuries.

1st team O starts until they score, 1st team D starts until they stop them from scoring.
 
Tomlin has been really talking up DHB's special teams play. If he has a good game, he may bounce Justin Brown off the team.
 
I really expect an ugly melt down as they try to get a look at the guys they have left. Further I would not be shocked to see things performed at a really unusual situational plan such as running on third and long just to use an example, or lots of passing from the one. After this one I will steal a line from the past, we won't have trouble cutting guys it will be stopping that presents problems.
 
Link for the game?
 
Ike Taylor...man...he's gone down hill fast.
 
Shazier is fast...he's in hot pursuit to every ball.
 
I would throw at him on just about every play, there's no reason not to.

I'd have to agree with you. Benjamin is a big guy, but Taylor can't even wrap him up or get to the ball. We know he can't catch, but his tackling isn't much better.
 
Jarvis with the good swim move to apply pressure and Keisel with the pressure from outside
 
Keisel showing really good speed off the edge.
 
Terrible call. He didn't come close to getting that first down
 
Jarvis Jones ran right past Avant and gave up the long first down.

Half the team was over there and failed to make a tackle ... terrible TEAM defense
 
It's all about fundamentals for the D. They need to make the tackles. No way they should have made that 3rd and 9. It's going to be a very long season if they don't wrap up and tackle.
 
does it look like they care, this week?

apparently not, if they aren't tackling...will try and wait till after week 1 to get pissed...
