I know we shouldn’t put too much into preseason numbers because, well, it’s the presason. But at some point, you also have to acknowledge that what Antonio Brown has accomplished in three weeks is the personification of Mike Tomlin’s “there’s more than one way to protect the quarterback” theory that had most of us rolling our eyes when he first said it three years ago.

(I’ve written in painstaking detail on the topic, most recently last November, so if you want the extended version, knock yourself out (http://www.steelerslounge.com/2010/11/protecting-big-ben-offensive-linemen-weapons/).)

“There are two schools of thought to protect a quarterback,” Tomlin told the media shortly after the 2008 draft landed the Steelers Rashard Mendenhall and Limas Sweed in the first two rounds.”You can get linemen or you can get him weapons — people that people have to account for. Obviously with [the Mendenhall] pick, we’ve gotten a weapon. So what he is able to do on a football field will help our quarterback and our football team.”...........

4 wide, no huddle, Ben happy. But the defense will suffer.

That's back in the day when Sweed was considered a weapon. He turned into a squirt gun.

They've also proven they can grind out long drives as well, like they did against Philly, which of course helps the defense. If this offense can consistently show they can beat you any way they want...the sky is the limit.

It looks like we finally have that "high octane" offense. I just hope the defense holds up this year and doesn't start running out of gas in the fourth quarter......again. :pray:

Antonio Brown has looked impressive. He should definitely get a lot of playing time this year

If we score 30 a game, the defense will take care of itself.
