THE 50-YARD LINE

     Happy Pigskins & Pucks Day! Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit, spit, spit! Our Pittsburgh Steelers matchup against the Miami Dolphins at Heinz Field today in an AFC Wild Card game. These are your keys for today's game. 1)You may recall that the Steelers were manhandled in Miami back in October, losing 30-15. Today the season really starts. You can't afford any miscues. Go hard or go home! 2)In that loss, the Steelers defense was gashed for over 200 yards rushing by the 'Fins. You have to make this team one-dimensional, especially with Miami missing starting QB Ryan Tannehill due to injury. No matter who is taking the snaps, get on his case and in his face. Hit 'em early, hit 'em often, hit 'em HARD! 3)The Dolphins D is ranked 29th in the league. However, they have their version of Vontaze Burfict-south in DL Ndamkong Suh. He's one of the dirtiest players in the league with his leg whips and trips. Watch out for him but don't get sucked into to playing his game. If it's penalty-free it's for me. And keep in mind, this will be the first time that the killer B's, QB Ben Roethlisberger, WR Antonio Brown and RB Le'Veon Bell will play together in a playoff game. Take advantage of one of the worst defenses in the NFL. You may have 'Fins to the left and 'Fins to the right but play smart football. Put the ball in the hands of the playmakers. Big Ben and the boys need to play big. Score early, score often, score BIG! Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!
