Not meaning to bash Shaw and Hill, but they are just too green to face a team like the Steelers. Give them a few games experience and they might be okay, but no matter how good they are they need some game experience to sharpen their skills. Their heads will be spinning Sunday.
Hate Roethlisberger all you want, but he is a Hall-of-Fame QB and as dangerous as any QB in the league throwing the ball down the field. His Antonio Brown is as good as any WR in the league, and his #2 and #3 (Markus Wheaton, Martavis Bryant) are talented enough to make them as good as any trio in the league. TE Heath Miller will eat up the middle of the field if leave that open.
We will miss Iloka also.
If Hall does play then we might get by. But if we lose anyone to injury during the game it could get ugly.
This banged up secondary will definitely get tested hard on Sunday, which is why I'm hoping the D-line brings their A+ game and can get consistent pressure on Ben.
