Cornerback Brice McCain has some familiarity with Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones, but that doesn't mean the Steelers will use him to shadow the NFL's receiving yardage leader.

McCain played against Jones in college and also when he was with the Houston Texans before coming to the Steelers. That was more than enough time to discover that Jones, the sixth overall pick in the 2011 draft, is a freakishly special receiver.

"He's fast, quick and explosive," McCain said.

McCain is back in the starting lineup today against the Falcons, replacing Ike Taylor and hoping to help stem the plethora of big pass plays that have plagued the Steelers defense.

Hope it helps us get the WIN ! We seem to have a problem of beating ourselves at times no matter who's out with injury.

Of course, watch some no-name schlub wind up with 200+ yards receiving and a couple of TDs against us instead (Louis Murphy, anyone?)...

Just hope the offense comes out firing on all cylinders to start the game.
