this game can go either way.
the key for pittsburgh to win this game lies not in how well their coverage will be in the secondary, but if they can get to warner.
teams know what they have to do to stop arizona- stop fitzgerald and boldon from getting the ball, however despite playing cover 2 for the better part of the playoff's without boldon in the lineup, opposing teams still can't stop arizona from finding the end zone due to fitzgerald ability to make huge circus catches.
with harrison on that d- end arizona is going to have to pull off the line to double, and that will leave big holes up the middle for polumalu to exploit, he being prolly one of the best middle blitzers in the league. if they do blitz they have to make the sack as it will leave their secondary tremdously exposed without him patrolling the back field with what is argueably the best recieving tandem in the league now healthy.
this is how pitt will have to win the game- on the back of the pass rush. warner in the pocket without pressure will find F and B downfield for the big strike as he has been doing all season long.
they are a one trick pony, but you can't stop it no matter how tight the coverage.
i won;t even mention pitt's offense here as it will have little bearing on the outcome of the game. the game will be won or losty on the back of the steelers pass rush.
BFU.
