Pittsburgh Steelers Ben Roethlisberger

Judging from the looks of the two team rosters, coach Bill Cowher's Pittsburgh Steelers have a clear advantage, as they begin their 2005 season against Jeff Fisher's Tennessee Titans. Both teams were forced to cut crucial veterans, but the purge seemed to hit the Titans harder than it did the 6 Sanchez Green Jersey
Steelers. The Titans are left with one of the youngest rosters in the NFL, with most of their players who started camp having been signed since the end of the 2003 football season. While the Titans have young, healthy players, the Steelers still have a solid core of veterans. Now let us take a look at the Steelers' starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, and what threats he poses to his own team. I once considered the rookie from Miami of Ohio a blessing to the team, but now I'm starting to rethink my position. His indecisiveness is causing repeated sacks, numerous interceptions, too many incompletions, and failed third down conversions. He does not seem to be displaying the same confidence and poise he did when he first became a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger needs to step it up a notch. He needs to somehow build his leadership skills, boost his confidence level, and strengthen his decision-making capabilities. If he's not mentally focused now, I hate to imagine how bad it will be for him if Steelers' fans start booing him like Kordell Stewart and others in the past.What it all amounts to is seemingly simple to many Steeler fans.

Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be forced to depend on their passing game to get them big wins. Then again maybe the youngster Willie Parker can be a pleasant surprise and make some big plays in the running game.Even if that happens, the Steelers are still going to need strong play from their quarterback and offensive line in order to succeed. If they can excel in these two key areas, I think the Steelers have the potential to be this season's Super Bowl champions.
