Yeah, well the Ravens are a divisional opponent and the Steelers need all the help they can get this year it looks like. They just called up Isaac Redman from the practice squad because Parker isn't playing. For those who haven't heard of this guy, almost every Steeler fan on the internet has wet dreams about him. An undrafted rookie free agent from Bowie State who didn't make the active roster. And no other team picked him up, which is why he was able to make the practice squad. Some people are acting like he's going to be the next Jerome Bettis, it's ridiculous. Granted, he performed well in the preseason (mostly against second and third string defenses), and has the foreknowledge to fall forward for the extra yardage, which has been lacking for the Steelers this year. But he's a young, inexperienced guy with plenty of downside, not the least of which is endurance. Every time he made a big run in the preseason he was out of breath and looking to get off the field. I'm willing to see what this guy is capable of, though. For all the downsides, I do think he has a lot of potential, if not this year, then maybe next year if he's still around. BTW he earned the nickname Redzone Redman after scoring 7 or 9 times in goal line scrimmages in practice. Pretty amusing for a guy who hasn't seen a second in a regular season game.
The Ravens? My god, could that damn team be any more hyped up? The Colts are undefeated all-time against the Ravens (6-0). The last two times the Colts have played them they have been complete blowouts (31-3 last season, 44-20 in 2007). Their defense is so overrated this season it's not even funny. The allowed the Chiefs, the goddamn CHIEFS, to score 24 points on them.
