Winning and losing doesn’t really matter at this time of year, the\u00a0goal of the preseason is to get the first team quick work and make sure no one gets hurt, then see if you have anything worth building on. The Steelers achieved one of the two objectives.<\/p>\n
The Steelers have\u00a0some good\u00a0young prospects and had a good night on offense. The bad news they lost David Johnson for the season and had injuries to Mike Adams, who had a productive game and Jonathon Dwyer who ripped off a 33 yard run.<\/p>\n
Losing Johnson is a dissapointment because he had a great opening drive and it is obvious that the H-Back\/Fullback is going to play a huge role in the new offense. Dwyer and Adams will both be fine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The offense looks good but obviously needs work. Chris Rainey IS exciting and his speed was as advertised. He had some very explosive plays and looked great. Dave DeCastro opened up some nice holes and caved in the Eagles defense on some big blocks.<\/p>\n
The highlight of the night was Al Woods who had an interception, it is always fun watching the big men with the ball.<\/p>\n
Have to be honest, I respect the NFL rule of “next man up” but it is\u00a0strange not seeing Hines Ward or James Farrior. \u00a0<\/p>\n
BEER WE GO STEELERS, BEER WE GO!<\/p>\n
