Concerns in Pittsburgh

After losing to the Houston Texans this past Sunday, there are many concerns with the reigning AFC champs. Bombarded by injuries and lack of production the Steelers and their fans find themselves scratching their heads.

Pittsburgh plays Tennessee at home this weekend and their not sure if their starting quarterback will be joining them. Ben Rothlisberger has a left foot injury that could sideline him this coming Sunday against the Titans. It's not certain how severe this injury is but he did play with a broken right foot last season without missing a game. "You know me. If I can be out there. I'm going to be out there, " he said. " I casted up my foot for the last half of (last) year, so if we have to do it, I'll do it." Big Ben could have definitely played back in the old days when they played with leather helmets, he is that kind of warrior.

The defense has not been the same all year. Last Season, the Steelers allowed 62.8 rushing yards per game, and this year in four games, they have allowed an average of 119.5 yards a game. Arian Foster last week rushed for 155 yards against the Steelers defense. That is not the way the Steelers defense is accustomed to playing. The Steelers need to get back to the way their used to playing which is stopping the run and being able to control the clock. It is early, and the Steelers have two upcoming home games to get their issues resolved. LETS GO STEELERS..
