The Pittsburgh Steelers return to the 2011 NFL football
season with a bitter taste in their mouth.
The Steelers were just one touchdown drive from having another
Championship in their trophy case. Last
year the Steelers were hampered with major injuries throughout the year.
This year in order for the Steelers to get another
Championship they will need to do the following:
Keep
healthy - The Steelers
are a team that is top heavy talent wise.
This team has very little depth at many positions especially in the
defensive back field.
Offensive
line – The center piece of the offensive line Maurkice Pouncey did
not play in the Super Bowl and injured his ankle in the preseason. The offensive line must do their job on a
weekly basis.
Stay focus
– the team must play every game as if it is a playoff game. Other teams are always hyped to beat the Steelers. The division is not as strong as it has been
in the past so the Steelers must take every game serious.
Play Smart
– The nature of the Steelers team to be aggressive
on every play both on offense and defense, so that mean do not get unnecessary penalties
that extend opponents drives or hurt successful offensive plays.
Running
game – The Steelers need to return to a more a balanced offensive
attack. Ben Rothlisberger has been a
dynamic passer, but the Steelers need more production from the running game to
extend drives and keep their defense on the sideline.
If the Steelers can dominate in these five areas they will
be in position to beat any team in the league.
