Coach Mike Tomlin looks at this week’s opponent – the Cleveland Browns (http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/)

Q. Browns-Steelers has been called the “Turnpike rivalry,” and even though the Cleveland franchise has had some lean years recently, is it still an important game?

A. I think anytime a professional football game is a bus trip, geographically speaking it has to be a rivalry.

Q. With the injuries the Browns have at quarterback, do you expect to see a lot of Joshua Cribbs in the Wildcat?

A. I expect that to be their plan. The amount of it we end up seeing will be determined by how we perform against it. If we don’t slow them down – if it’s similar to the way we handled it last year – we’ll see a lot of it. Hopefully, that’s not the case. Hopefully, we get after it, and then they move on to something else.

Q. The Browns have traded Jerome Harrison for Mike Bell in a swap of running backs. Does this indicate a total commitment by the Browns to a power running attack?................

Q. For you, what is this game’s biggest matchup concern?

A. Always it’s the lines of scrimmage for us. On defense, they have a myriad of fronts, and they have a big man in Shaun Rogers. We have to deal with him. On the other side, the left side of their offensive line is a great left side – Joe Thomas, Eric Steinbach and Alex Mack at center. We have to do a nice job of winning the lines of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.


ALWAYS.

We have to remember that Cleveland is improving and lately plays tough in this division. They can't be taken lightly.

Especially after last year's game in Cleveland as well as the way they've played every game this year. They definitely keep improving and with Holmgren calling the shots in the FO, I see them being more competitive very soon.

Q. Will defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau give Browns rookie quarterback Colt McCoy some looks he’s never seen before?

I don't think he has seen any of the looks we will be giving him.:crazy:
