James Harrison - Steelers Turn To Batch In Push For Bye - Three - Out

A brief lookahead in order to Week 16's St. Louis-Pittsburgh game:

Though some people botched your opportunity take manipulate of the struggle for your AFC's No. 1 seed having Monday's decline with San Francisco, this Steelers are however mathematically still living for homefield advantage. However they are putting QB Charlie Batch behind the steering wheel that weeks time to be able to permit Ben Roethlisberger's large ankle strain mend for that playoffs. The seemingly overmatched Rams will also most likely trot out and about a backup, Kellen Clemens, intended for his second directly start off thus Sam Bradford can keep on recuperating from his or her own bum ankle. If St. Louis loses, the organization will remain in the running for any best pick of the 2012 draft.

Batch will not have got Big Ben's escapability or arm, but she has expended 10 of his 14 months having some sort of clipboard inside Pittsburgh and appreciates this playbook on the inside and out. OC Bruce Arians could decide on additional seam paths to WRs Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown (since Batch isn't because outfitted in order to reach them deep) in addition to a wholesome serving connected with TE Heath Miller. However when using the Rams fielding the particular league's most detrimental run security (153.4 ypg), a new heavy diet program involving RB Rashard Mendenhall seems designed to order.

Matchup to watch after Rams WR Brandon Lloyd vs. Steelers CB Ike Taylor: Lloyd is a only deep danger that Rams have, along with he's produced his penchant pertaining to masterful catches from Denver that will St. Louis, no matter what that's throwing that will him. However that underrated Taylor can be Pittsburgh's prime cover man, in addition to your dog won't really need to grasp along with his competitors always that really OLBs James Harrison (back from suspension) along with LaMarr Woodley will be reunited.
