Terrible news for Steeler fans, Aaron Smith is out for the year with a torn tricep. He is their best defensive end if not arguably the best in football. Their whole run defence starts with him.
DJHT maybe you could explain to me how you tear a tricep in a football game, does your arm twist awkwardly or something?

I hope I’m wrong, but I think we just saw Aaron Smith’s last game. He’s 34, tore a bicep in 07, a rotator cuff in 09, and now the tricep, all on the same arm. By all accounts, there probably won’t be football next year. I can’t see a 36 year old Smith coming back in 2012 after all the injuries he’s had. Even if he does, I’m fairly certain it won’t be in a Steelers jersey.
Hats off to one of the best 3-4 DEs to ever play the game. Pittsburgh’s defense is going to have some serious issues now.
On top of that, Woodley pulled a hammy, and Polamalu has to be dinged up somehow because I’ve never seen him be so mediocre when he was healthy in the past.[/quote]
I think your right about Smith not playing again if there is so football next year.
Regarding Troy, the dude was nowhere yesterday, I don’t think he made a single tackle. He might hiding an injury like you mentioned or they had him way back in coverage.
When Woodley was out it gave Worilds a chance to play, almost had a sack. Larry Foote made a couple nice plays subbing in the middle for Timmons when he had to move to OLB.
Too bad there isn’t a feature on TV’s where you can pan out and see the whole feild. It would give the fan a better idea as to what the db’s are doing before the snap.

I listen to a lot of NFL talk and people who love the game are always asking for the coach’s view, where you can see all 22 players. The common and fair weather fan (who the NFL is after) want to just watch where the ball goes.
I am like you I love watching the coach’s view so you can see the scheme of the game. We will end up getting that view someday but will probably cost us to see it. [/quote]
I would both love and hate to have that view available. I would love it because I love the game, and you can’t even SEE the game with the current setup. I would hate it because it would take me 6 fucking hours to get through a Steelers game because I would watch every play 4-5 times.
