Carolina Panthers vs Pittsburgh Steelers The Steelers host the Panthers at Heinz Field on08/28. Kickoff time is 7:00 pm EST Discuss....
I am looking forward to seeing the steelers backups in this game. I see the starters playing a few series but then turning it over to the backups for the rest of the game. Many of them are going to be fighting for positions, but the starters have their positions locked up. I want to see how Dixon plays. Haven't had a chance to see much of him yet this preseason, as I missed the 2nd game due to a flight from Hotlanta and the 3rd game due to being sick.
Good stop by the defense holding Carolina to a field goal, 13-6 Pit. I'm not going to be comfortable with Mendenhall going into the regular season next week, we can't afford to turnover the ball and I'm going to be nervous everytime he gets a carry hopefully he realizes the seriousness of a regular season game and holds onto the ball with his life.
Preseason or not, the kid isn't impressing me at all...three fumbles in two games and his runs tonight...not impressive.
This is what we should do though, run the hell out of Mendenhall its the last preseason game, maybe something will click..
So Mendenhall easily takes it up field getting 6-7 yards a carry, and Russell comes in and hecks it up 2 straight plays, we settle for a field goal 16-6 Pit.
Tomlin was just trying to teach him a lesson right there by making him stay in and pound the ball and trying to make him hold onto the ball, The only way he will probably fix his fumbling issue is by experience..
