Starks & Adams vs. Wake & Misi
For obvious reasons, a lot of attention will be paid to Steelers right outside linebacker James Harrison as he takes on Dolphins left tackle Jake Long. But the one-on-one battles between Steelers tackles Max Starks and Flozell Adams against the Dolphins’ outside ’backers also loom large.
Last week in a win over the Browns, the Steelers didn’t give up a sack. That marked the second time in five games a Steelers QB wasn’t sacked. Today, though, Starks and Adams will have their hands full.
Cameron Wake, who played at Penn State, is tied for fourth in the NFL with six sacks. Wake got three of those sacks last week when Miami won at Green Bay. Koa Misi, a rookie second-round draft pick, is second on the team with three sacks.
So far this season, the Steelers’ offensive line has done a solid job protecting their quarterbacks. But today, Starks and Adams must elevate their games to keep the pressure off Ben Roethlisberger.
Taylor vs. Marshall ..............
