It's been a few days.

Most of the excitement of there being Steeler football has worn off, considering it's still preseason. There's not really much even to say about the game last week. Steelers played well enough to win. If they looked sloppy, maybe they were a little rusty. If they looked good, maybe it was the Cardinals being rusty. No one knows much about how the team is really doing, but there are a few things we actually can take away from the game:

  1. Donovan Woods knows how to tackle people. Certainly doesn't hurt him as he tries to make the team.
  2. Daniel Sepulveda is a hundred times better than Mitch Berger.
  3. Limas Sweed needs more practice but he looks like he's got a good hold on the #3 WR spot.
  4. Dennis Dixon can throw the football. He led his receivers pretty well and the fact that he didn't take off running says he's going through his reads, at least to some extent. If he doesn't overtake Chaz Batch this season, next season it'll be his.
So the game was certainly positive. But it doesn't impact the regular season very much yet.

Other good news, I saw the Browns' preseason game and they are as flat and sloppy as they've ever been. Mark off two wins if you haven't already. Cleveland sucks.
