Exactly my thoughts, Carl -- JAC does have 2 prominent injuries in the secondary right now. Even if Leftwich plays QB you know there's nobody more motivated in the league right now than him to beat his former team, right? Looking at the numbers, PITs' run defense hasn't suffered with the injuries on the line, but their pass defense has. Both teams have replacements on the line when looking at JACs' O-Line versus PITs' D-Line, and JAC had to leave the roster to find players, whereas the Steelers didn't. With the line creeping up a tiny amount, there's a chance for no juice on a Steelers play tomorrow, though the mini-bubble may burst at some point if Roethlisberger's status is updated to the general public as being pretty much okay. Oh -- and just read that Willie Parker says the Steelers are going to use a lot of no-huddle in this game.
