Suggs Will Play

[PuRock]

I just saw on the ticker on the bottom of NFL network, that Suggs is reported to play.

[Bullrush]

Too little too late.

I called it a few days ago, there was no way he'd miss a game like that with a sprained shoulder.

[TSizzle00]

He prob wont play the whole game

mason and ray lewis were cracking on him saying how he seemed like he would never play football again!!! it was hilarious. but i think he is gonna go full throttle. i'm a little concerned about our secondary with samari doubtfull though.

Of course he will play, it is a matter of how long and how effectively. If he can't produce they have to pull him.

I am glad Suggs will play. I don't care who his talented young backups are, they are not near the complete player Suggs is. I was thinking that if Suggs couldn't play you could plug Bart Scott back on the outside like he used to play and throw Greisen back in the middle with Ray, since Greisen has starting experience. But it definitely helps to have Suggs. I think Frank Walker has filled in well for Rolle. He might not be as good of a cover corner, but he is more physical than Rolle.

Actually Suggs beat you to it. He called it as soon as the Titans game was over

I think he may be slightly limited. I don't think we'll be using him on 1st downs.

[joerevs300]

Suggs playing at less than 100% and playing at 100% are two totally different things.

I look for him to come in on obvious passing downs. But let's be real: It'll only take one bad fall or impact on that shoulder of his to knock him out completely.

As for Rolle, the Steelers can definitely exploit the matchups they have on the outside. The key will be staying committed to the run, even if it's only getting 3-4 yards a carry.

This should be an outstanding game and no matter who wins it will most certainly be earned.
