Mewelde Moore ran the exact same route with Hines Ward

It seems that the Pittsburgh Steelers running back Hines Ward wears Hines Ward Steelers jersey and is irreplaceable for the team before his departure. However, it seems not actual as his new replacement Mewelde Moore did his best Ward impersonation during the team’s first drive last week when against the New England Patriots.

Wearing Mewelde Moore Steelers jersey, Moore lined up split wide left then going in motion as quarterback Ben Roethlisberger wore Ben Roethlisberger Steelers jersey and barked out signals. At the snap Moore slanted toward the middle of the field and Roethlisberger hit him for a 5-yard touchdown pass that served as the springboard for a 25-17 victory.

While three weeks earlier in a win over the Tennessee Titans, Hines Ward wore Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys and ran the exact same route for a touchdown, though Ward threw in an acrobatic leap into the end zone for effect. Moore stayed grounded, mostly because teammate Mike Wallace wore Mike Wallace Steelers jersey and did such an excellent job picking off two New England defenders Moore could just stroll to paydirt.

Wallace must be better than Brown, at least statistically

The numbers don’t support Webb’s claim. In addition to his NFL rankings, Mike Wallace wears Mike Wallace Steelers jersey and leads Pittsburgh in catches (43) and touchdowns (five). Antonio Brown wears Antonio Brown Steelers jersey and ranks second on the team in both receptions (34) and yards (431).

Brown is the team’s primary return specialist. He ranks fifth in the league in kick return average (28.9) and is tied for sixth in punt return average (12.1).

Hines Ward did not wear Hines Ward Steelers jersey and play in the Steelers’ 25-17 victory over the New England Patriots Sunday due to an ankle sprain. His status for Sunday night’s showdown is unclear.

Lardarius Webb wore Lardarius Webb Ravens jersey and praised Ward’s influence on Pittsburgh’s young corps of receivers – but not without beginning with a dig when asked if the Steelers are better without Ward.

“Yeah, very dangerous without Hines. I guess Hines slows them down,” Webb said. “No, just playing. But Hines makes those guys. He’s molded those guys into him – the same attitude. So they’re a great team. We know we’re going to have to come in with our ‘A’ game, especially on their home field.”

Patriots secondary didn’t draw respect from Steelers

FOXBOROUGH — The Patriots secondary isn’t drawing much respect from opponents.

Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward wore Hines Ward Steelers jersey and said he didn’t feel the need to push himself to play with an ankle injury against the Patriots Sunday. In looking at the matchups, the Steelers believed they held an advantage. The following quote was provided by Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

“I probably could have forced it and played but we have some great wideouts,” Ward said. “I wasn’t really concerned. And against the Patriots, we felt we could exploit their secondary. That wasn’t the same secondary that we played against a year ago without having [James Sanders], [Brandon Meriweather] wasn’t back there, and they let Leigh Bodden go. We kind of liked our matchups. So there was no need for me to try to force it and go.”

Wearing Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys, Hines Ward was sure that the New England Patriots couldn’t match up them, thinking that the team could beat the Patriots without him.

Rashard Mendenhall gets not the rock move forward

The Pittsburgh Steelers was wining their home game over the New York Patriots on Sunday. Out of the game, the Pittsburgh Steelers threw the ball a lot. Then we know that it would be good news and also bad news for those who own Pittsburgh players on tehir Fantasy teams, if that trent continues.

And Rashard Mendenhall could be a controversial player in the Pittsburgh Steelers, as he might not wear Rashard Mendenhall Steelers jersey and be getting the rock so much moving forward. Therefore, it should be bad news about Rashard Mendenhall, or a tragedy; after all, Mendenhall once wore Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys and was a top player for Pittsburgh.

Howeve, we should hold optimistic that there could be some good players available that may help your team late in the season, if Rashard Mendenhall is away.

Meanwhile, Steelers tight end Heath Milelr might wear Heath Miller Steelers jersey and be a smart pickup, too, if it needs a bye-week replacement for your starter. Heath Miller has always been more of a safety blanket then primary option, but he’s good for a touchdown here and there, and he might get one while he’s starting for you.

Ward was replaced by Sanders and Brown

The Pittsburgh Steelers was winning over the New England Patriots on Sunday, as they added one more point to entitle themselves division championship. Wearing Hines Ward Steelers jersey, the wide receiver Hines Ward missed the game, and in his place there appeared Emmanuel Sanders Steelers jersey and Antonio Brown Steelers jersey. Fortunately, Both Sanders and Brown had very productive days, which made immediate contribution to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ victory.

Wearing Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys, Emmanuel Sanders is projected by NumberFire in the Fantasy League to put up only six points. However, as they are not big names coming into this year, they aren’t owned in a lot of fantasy leagues. Of course, a wide receiver just needs to have one touchdown to have a pretty good day. And Antonio Brown is projected to get more points of the two (7.73) but I think they are pretty similar plays.

Therefore, there still has something to expect from Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

WR Ramses Barden believes Eli Manning is elite

In the New York Giants, the starter quarterback Eli Manning wears Eli Manning Giants jersey and is strongly believed by all of his targets, particularly the wide receiver Ramses Barden, who might be activated off the PUP list this week to wear Ramses Barden Giants jersey, as Hakeem Nicks won’t wear Hakeem Nicks Giants jersey and play against the Patriots with hamstring injury.

“There’s a heightened sense of trust,” said Ramses Barden. “A guy that’s been through the fire, a guy that’s been through the highs and the lows, somebody who’s been to the top. It doesn’t get any better than that in professional sports.”

Waring New York Giants jerseys, Barden believes that Eli Manning is elite and it doesn’t get much better than Manning right now.

“it’s such a security blanket knowing you’re playing for one of the best quarterbacks in the league,” Barden said. “You’ve got a safety net, you’ve got somebody who’s going to make you right when you’re not.”

Michael Vick matches Cowboys’ pass rusher

DeMarcus Ware wears DeMarcus Ware Cowboys jersey and is as good as it gets as a pass rusher. Michael Vick wears Michael Vick Eagles jersey and is as elusive as it gets as a quarterback. There will be a cat-and-mouse game between Vick and Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.

Vick will try to anticipate where Ware and other pass rushers will be coming from. Ryan will try to disguise defenses and pressure Vick with a variety of blitzes.

“He’ll move people over in unusual ways which are sort of uncommon,” Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said of Ryan. “You see it from other teams but he does it a little bit more.”

A key for Vick will be avoiding turnovers. He enters the game having thrown eight interceptions.

“Mike has been excellent his whole career in taking care of the ball, but some of them have been some tipped balls, and he got hit a couple of times right as he threw, and that led to turnovers,” Mornhinweg said. “He’s working through it, and we’ve identified several things he can get better at.”

Percy Harvin got a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct

“I’m not going to change the way I play … When I’m in there it’s 100 miles an hour,” Percy Harvin said when wearing Percy Harvin Vikings jersey and playing as he has most of the season, with a painful rib injury.

However, Percy Harvin seems to be in and play to his advantage on Sunday.

Wearing Captain Munnerlyn Panthers jersey, the defensive back Captain Munnerlyn was playing as a cornerback for the Carolina Panthers and covering Harvin on a play, which finally turned into a run by Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder, wearing Christian Ponder Vikings jersey.

Percy Harvin was wearing Minnesota Vikings jerseys and driving Munnerlyn off the field and onto the Carolina bench, while the Panthers stopped Ponder. And the driving was eventually proved to be an unsportsmanlike conduct on the play. Out of the game, Panthers teammates helped Munnerlyn and scuffled with Harvin as officials stepped in.

In all, Harvin got a 15-yeard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct on the play.

Ealges will slide a safety to Witten’s side

Fokou will line up across from the seven-time Pro Bowler in the base defense, but expect the Eagles to throw some diversified coverages at Dallas and use Pro Bowl cornerback Nnamdi Asomugh, wearing Nnamdi Asomugha Eagles jersey, on the inside, a match-up of their best cover corner on the Cowboys’ leading receiver.

Asomugha has frequently drawn the tight end this season in coordinator Juan Castillo’s schemes and he’s done a relatively decent job despite limited experiences away from the outsides.

The Eagles also could slide a safety to Witten, wearing Jason Witten Cowboys jersey, to provide more support, a strategy that would leave either Asante Samuel who wears Asante Samuel Eagles jersey, or Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who wears Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Eagles jersey— if not both — in single coverage on Austin and Dez Bryant that wears Dez Bryant Cowboys jersey.

It’s called picking your poison.

“I mean, they’ve got weapons all over the field,” safety Nate Allen said. “They spread it out pretty well.”

Steelers have to wait and see who can play on Sudnay

The Steelers wide receiver Dez Bryant, wearing Dez Bryant Steelers jersey, missed his socond straight day with a sore ankle, and might probably be not available in Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots. So the team would possibly start Emmanuel Sanders that wears Emmanuel Sanders Steelers jersey and has scored twice on 13 catches this season.

At the same time, there are also some others that didn’t practice Thursday in Pittsburgh. Wearing James Farrior Steelers jersey, the linebacker James Farrior was limited in practice with a calf injury. And then there were four others that didn’t practice, including linebackers James Harrison and Jason Worilds, nose tackle Chris Hoke, and guard Doug Legursky.

“We just have to wait and see,” defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau said of Farrior’s injury. “He was pretty good today, I thought, and we’ll just see. That’ll be up to the doctors anyhow.”

In all, the Steelers should take good care of it.
