Week 2 Steelers vs Bears might not be as tough to win.

As most of you probably know already,  Big Ben went down yesterday at practice with a suspected ankle injury.

Star-divide

Turns out that there might be more to it.  According to the World Wide Leader Ben may actually have an achillies injury.  I don't know much about these types of injuries but I've heard that rehabbing a torn one can take anwhere from 6 months to a year.  You'd have to agree if this injury is more severe than origianally thought, the week 2 contest will be much more in our favor with Charlie Batch at the helm.  Although Charlie sports a 3-1 record lifetime with the Steelers I still say they are a totally different team.  I know it's way to early to know how all this will turn out but I thought it would be interesting to talk about at least.  Regular season is just around the corner......

This is what I was told on Big Ben’s injury: “He’s fine, had the back of his foot stepped on.” Exhale, Pittsburgh.

On a serious note,

by playing the Steelers and their 3-4 defense in week 2, right after spending time getting prepared for week 1 and the Packers and their new 3-4 D, the Bears will be very well prepared for Pittsburgh.

Jay was on the radio

(a couple weeks ago at the beginning of camp) and he made that point. And about how much he’s seen of 3-4 defenses in the AFC. I thought that was really cool.
