The logical thinking on the NFL opener Thursday night is two-fold:
1. The young Pittsburgh Steelers (http://pit.scout.com/) defense will be exploited by Tom Brady (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=8702279) and the New England Patriots (http://nwe.scout.com/), so the offense has to carry the Steelers.
2. But the Steelers offense is missing reigning team MVP Le'Veon Bell (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=8460079) and Rookie of the Year Martavis Bryant (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=8460085), so that will be impossible.
After all, in the last 10 games of last season, Bell and Bryant accounted for 47 percent of the Steelers' offensive touchdowns and 56 percent of their yardage. Bell is the filet mignon of this offense, while Bryant is the cherry on top.
But not now. Not in New England. Not when DeAngelo Williams (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=8602946) must replace replace Bell in the backfield and Darrius Heyward-Bey (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=8601095) must run deep in place of Bryant.
The stars are suspended. But somehow these replacements are instilling confidence...............
