50-YARD LINE

Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit, spit, spit! Now that the preseason is complete, Mrs. Black-N-Gold takes a look at the Good, the Bad and the Ugly from your Pittsburgh Steelers 0-4 exhibition campaign.

The Good-With an 0-4 mark, the only good thing to say is that it was only preseason. Sure there were a few highlights. Safety Troy Polamalu is looking like his Pro Bowl-self. Some of the Steelers draft picks had their moments, as well. Still, the only good thing is that the preseason is over and know the games count!

The Bad-I was really looking forward to the offensive line this season. For the first time in years, the Steelers addressed their needs up front and brought in some O-Linemen with pedigrees these past few drafts. They certainly didn't play as expected. They'll need some time to get know each and build some continuity. I think, as the year progresses and if they stay healthy, they'll be a big part of the team's success.

The Ugly-Unfortunately, it's a toss-up. Once again, the Steelers exhibited a complete lack of discipline with the vast amount of penalties they accrued. A good number of those infractions occurred on the (not-so) special teams. These are both areas that the team needs to improve, pronto! I don't know how they'll fix them by Sunday since they haven't fixed them yet but they'd better get cracking if they want Super Bowl #7.

Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!
