50-YARD LINE

Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit, spit, spit....The Steelers play their home opener today agains the J-E-T-S, Jets. Keys to the game. 1)The Steelers are looking for their first win of the season and are trying to avoid going 0-2 for the first time since 2002. Harrison and Troy are out for the game. We're still looking for those younger guys to step up. Remember how it used to be? A starter would go down and his replacement would come in and we wouldn't miss a beat? We need that again. Step up and kick some NY butt! 2)Ben has won 24 of his last 29 at Heinz Field. The Jets shutdown corner Revis is out today. Sounds like a chance for Ben to take advantage and go airborne against the Jets. I think the Jets will concentrate on shutting down our wide receivers. That means things should open up for #83. He looked good last week. Let's do it again. Throw the ball to Miller! 3)The Jets are 4-17 lifetime vs. the Steelers and 1-8 in Pittsburgh. No reason for that to change. Score early, score often, score BIG. Hit 'em early, hit 'em often, hit 'em HARD. Go Steelers!!!!!!
