Wow...aside from Bonnie, there sure are a lot of chicken littles running around.
I won't say that he will be anywhere near what Adam Jones would be, but the kid from Oregon, Troy Hill, is likely going to see a lot of action on the outside. Hall will likely be back as slot corner, but if he can't go, then we may see Josh Shaw again. Iloka will likely be back, and that is a big plus given his experience.
Here is the big difference between this game and Arizona:
They know going in what they will have to do. In AZ, the Bengals were dropping like flies and guys had to come in and defend a high powered offense in their house. This game, at home, pits two hated rivals against each other. Ask yourself: which team is healthier? The Bengals, by far. They have more of their offensive weapons and the loss of one CB is not going to destroy this team's opportunity to make it very difficult for the steelers to make the playoffs.
I have faith in the preparation of players like Troy Hill and Josh Shaw to come in and hold down the fort while the veterans heal. This team will find a way. I'm betting, like against Cleveland, they rely on their front four to get pressure and they play in nickel much of the day. They might keep two safeties deep and force Pig Ben to work underneath. Keep the corners up in press and make their receivers earn every yard off the line of scrimmage. While Pig Ben waits for someone to break free, the front four will be working toward nailing his fat ass. The receivers will have to work crossing routes, and the likes of Iloka, Williams, and Shaw will be waiting to lay them out. And Pig Ben's ol pal Reggie Nelson will be waiting deep for Piggy to throw one long...and intercept it.
It is time to put these fat pigs to bed without supper.
