Casey Hampton expected to return for the Steelers

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

This could change some plans to run the ball more as Hampton is one of the best NTs in the game and has always been good at stuffing the run.

If Hampton plays,I expect alot of pass and little run unlike the past 2 weeks where things seem to have been more balanced.

This looks like another 300-400 yard passing game for Brady...nothing new vs. Pitt

Hampton's not stopping that boulder of a RB BJGE!

 

[Gostkowski for 3]

We've never had a problem blocking Hampton in the 10 years that he's been there....I dont see any reason why that would change.

Not a big deal to me...

casey hampton has 8 tackles in 4 games so far....

I still see the pats getting 100 yards on ground setting up the PA down field to hernandez and welker


Big game in my eyes. Playing the pats after a bye is NOT an easy task for any team

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

BJGE churned up 87 yards in last year's game despite Brady carving up that secondary. I expect a reasonably balanced attack again especially if we are up early again.

You don't measure a NT by tackles.

But even with Hampton in the middle, the injuries to DE's and OLB's makes running outside or between the guard and tackle a little easier. I expect a mix of run and pass, but honestly Brady is so good throwing against the Steelers I can't imagine them not featuring that quite a bit. Especially after a tough game against Dallas, Brady is usually on fire after a rough game.
