Jaguars vs. Steelers

Blogged under Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report by ravenhater on Friday 15 September 2006 at 1:28 am

It seems as if Ben Roethlisberger is going to start this game.  He could be rusty, so look for the Steelers to lean heavily on their running game.  The problem with that is the Jaguars have a very good front 7 on defense, and it could be a rough go for Willie Parker.  The Jaguars did give up 235 yards passing last week to the Cowboys…..but the Jags also had 3 pick-offs so Roethlisberger will have to be careful with the football.

Byron Leftwich led a furious comeback last week with his right arm.  The Jags will throw first to open up running lanes for Fred Taylor.  The whole game for the Jaguars could come down to how well they handle the blitz that the Steelers are sure to bring.  If the Jags pick it up well, they should be very effective throwing the football.

These are two evenly matched teams that will put on a good show for Monday Night Football.
