Brett Keisel out for Sunday's game vs. the Pats

This is a pretty significant loss for the Steelers' defense. Mike Tomlin said he would not play in today's press conference and said that Willie Parker may be out too.

Don't they have a pretty good vet back-up in there, though?

I think Nick Eason is his back up. I don't know much about the guy other than he did nothing in Cleveland and never made it in Denver because of an injury.

Moore is Parker's back-up and many people wanted Moore to sign here in New England to be the new Kevin Faulk.

Nope, no veteran backups, no gamers. Just Eason, Kirschke, and Chris Hoke.

Keisel's not mind-blowing to begin with, but plugging Nick Eason into your DL is kind of like caulking a sunroof with Elmer's glue: after about five minutes *****'s gonna starting pouring through.

Thanks for the link. Based on the comments in that link, it doesn't appear that the Steeler fans think it is that significant a loss.

I am more concerned about our D than our offense at this stage.

Chris Hoke has played well against the Pats in the past...I think filling in for Hampton. He's no good?

Keisel is a good player. As one of the posters in the the PFT thread said, it isn't as big of a loss as losing Aaron Smith, but I think there is a significant drop off from Keisel to Nick Eason.

Well Matt Light should have easy time with Nick Eason...i a more worried Aaron Simth man handling Nick Kaczur from the 3-4. Aaron Simth has always had good games against us.

Kiesel will be missed most on 3rd downs but he was filled in nicely for when he went out for 4 games earlier this year. But none of the group can hold Aaron Smith's jock.
