2007-08 Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers are looking to come back after last years up and down season. Big Ben Roethlisberger needs to recoup and go back to that 2005 greatness. That is unlikely to happen, what with a new playbook to learn and new offensive coordinator. Willie Parker took a beating last season, and will continue fighting into this one. Pittsburgh has a great lead blocker in Dan Kreider , and Santonio Holmes will continue too improve his rookie career. Steelers Ticket buyers can expect a lot of depth from their team, more runs by Parker – and Big Ben will definitely be looking for Heath Miller, who will continue to be a monster in the TE position.
Previous Seasons
Tommy Maddox was the quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2003, but an injury forced rookie Ben Roethlisberger to step in and lead the team early in the 2004 season. Roethlisberger led the team to an amazing run that ended with the team finishing 15-1 in the regular season and ending the Patriots run of 21 straight victories. The Steelers had home field advantage through the AFC and hosted the Patriots at Heinz Field but didn’t play their best game in a demoralizing loss. Roethlisberger still managed to finish the season with better than 2,600 passing yards and 17 touchdowns. He had a completion percentage near the top of the league at better than 66% and was also one of the league leaders in QB rating at 98.1. He’ll be looking to avoid a sophomore slump in 2005 but will have plenty of help around him. The running back position had all the potential to be a two-headed monster but when Duce Staley went down with an injury, the team wasn’t certain Jerome Bettis could step in and lead like in past years. Bettis put all fears away as he finished with 13 touchdowns and nearly 1,000 yards. The receiver position will still be led by Hines Ward along with Antwaan Randle El but the loss of Plaxico Burress could mean tougher coverage on Ward throughout the year.
The defense has always been a priority in the Steelers organization and 2004 was exactly the same as they finished with the best defense in the league. James Farrior led a trio of Steelers who finished with better than 90 tackles and led the team with Joey Porter with seven tackles for loss. Aaron Smith led the team with eight sacks while Porter had seven and Clark Haggans finished with six. The team forced 16 fumbles and Troy Polamalu led the team with five interceptions while Deshea Townsend and James Farrior each returned one of their four interceptions for touchdowns.
In the draft, the Steelers turned the 30 th overall pick into a reliable tight end in the form of Heath Miller. Miller holds every tight end receiving record at the University of Virginia but injury problems dropped him down the board to Pittsburgh. The team also picked up Fred Gibson, a wide receiver out of Georgia, who had first round potential but couldn’t seem to put everything together in his time at the school. The big pick for the Steelers might have been in the second round when they followed their defensive trend and drafted Florida State cornerback Bryant McFadden. McFadden will likely start at some point this season and could be on the field at crucial moments if a member of the secondary is injured.
