Steelers linemen Gilbert, Harris out against Jets

“We’re going to let the totality of today’s rehabilitation be concluded and then assess where we are before we consider such possibilities”.

Whatever Kevin Greene said to the Steelers before Sunday night’s game against the Chiefs, it certainly worked. “They don’t give up big plays … they’re going to make you work all the way down the field”. Bell is a multifaceted weapon who will be capable of tormenting the Jets as a runner and receiver. But as some fans yelled to safety Calvin Pryor as he exited to the players parking lot of Metlife Stadium after Sunday’s loss, “Keep your head up”. Jets’ defence is allowing 3.1 yards per carry, second lowest in NFL.

The Jets, at 1-3, have an offense that can’t get out of its own way, and a defense that can’t stop, well, anything. Brandon Marshall led in receiving with 89 yards and one touchdown in four catches while Quincy Enunwa had 66 yards in six catches. “You can call it ‘busts.’ Sometimes it’s not miscommunication when there’s only one guy involved”.

“I know it’s weird, since it’s only my second year here”, Cockrell said. “The more he was talking about playing for your brothers and that’s the selflessness that we talk about”.

And, no one has been immune from being beat for a big gain.

How many pumps are too much?

As Heyward said, “With us, when the defense has success, it’s because the defensive line does”.

“We have to get some clarity in terms of what’s legal and what’s not”. Greene, who received his Hall of Fame ring at halftime of Sunday’s game, spoke to the team before Pittsburgh routed Kansas City, 43-14.

Any time the Steelers (3-1) play the Jets (1-3) at home, it’s always been a house of horrors for the green and white – whether it was at the old Three Rivers Stadium or the current Heinz Field locale – because Gang Green has only beaten the Steelers on the road one time since the teams first played in 1970. “You have to fix your problems”.

“We have faith and trust and belief in whoever the next man up is”, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said.

The Jets (1-3) have just three takeaways through four games, two interceptions by backup cornerback Marcus Williams, and a fumble caused by Gilchrist against Kansas City that resulted in a touchback. The Steelers have won three of their last four meetings with the Jets. We were a 10-win team last season with a lot of the same guys and guys that have been very successful in this league. Yet there’s more to it. Munchak wants to make sure his players understand their respective jobs – and everyone else’s – on a given snap. He’s never been in a real live game at tackle, I don’t think, but we’ll see how it turns out this week.

It remains to be seen how the Jets will decide to defend Brown, especially if Revis is unavailable.

That leaves Finney as the only other healthy body available, not including Matt Feiler on the practice squad. With the emergence of Bilal Powell and Forte possibly banged up, I would recommend sitting him Week 5. “Here they allowed me to get the defense down, get comfortable, get familiar with it in practice and just go from there”.
