The Steelers approach to this game will be as close to what you will see in the regular season as it gets. It will be a great test for the Eagles.

I was away last game, pretty excited to see McNabb in action.  :yay

Ouch!

Let's just hope every one stays healthy.

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Top five things I want to see appart from no injuries, which is a gimme.

1. Stop the Steelers' run game. Considine, Bunkley, and Gaither better look decent at the very least.

2. Much improved offensive line play. MJG on the first team offense. Anymore Scott Young and I may hurt someone. Justice playing up to the hype with which he came out of college.

3. McNabb looking like his old self.

4. Tony Hunt having another type of statement game.

5. Younger guys in the secondary (Barksdale and Gaddis specifically) mixing in and keeping up with first and second string offenses.

Nick Cole is starting at RG, not MJG.

Is that a joke? farg, I'd rather see Young in there. Cole has been a revoloving door all preseason.....

No its true, they're cycling through the Guards (Young, MJG, now Cole) to see who's the best in case Andrews can't go.

It's always a great idea to give roster fodder tryouts when your brittle franchise quarterback is planning on playing at least a 1/2 game's worth of snaps.

Maybe they can also send Westbrook on gunner duty on special teams?  It's not like they need him anyway.

I thought he was joking at first but Nick Cole really is starting.   :sly

This is what everyone should be thinking. Cole got farging abused the last two preseason games, against second and third string guys.....what the farg???

At least he's not going against Brett Keisel
