Quote:Not sure about "great" shot, considering they blew us out the last time we played them, and we looked atrocious last time we played.

 

But I do think if we can run the ball, we'll stand a much better chance than we did week 3.

 

Anybody know Linder's status for the game?

 

If he comes back, along with Lewis, we should be in a better position to run the ball effectively.

 

I guarantee it will not be as bad as Week 3. Think about it: Week 3 was the first game Luke Bowanko started and last game Chad Henne started. Austin Pasztor was out. Two players on defense were cut after that game. Toby Gerhart also was a starter despite a nagging foot or ankle injury. Dwayne Gratz started in Week 3 where Demetrius McCray is now. It also was our first game without Marcedes Lewis. He will return this week. Then there is the fact that players have had time to gel, learn the scheme, recognize where they need to improve, and get better at the fundamentals. We have come a long way in those areas.

 

But this thread is about Week 11. I will watch MNF and hope Pittsburgh wins.
