On the Steelers: Who's wild about the cat?

[stillers4me]

Look for the wildcat offense again in Oakland today. The Steelers might use it, with some new wrinkles, but the Raiders definitely will. That's because Terrelle Pryor is the wildcat offense. When you have a quarterback who can run like Pryor, there's no need to bring in a runner to take a snap because you already have one.

As for the Steelers, don't look for them to junk something that worked somewhat for them last Sunday, even if Ben Roethlisberger wishes it would go away. Roethlisberger does not like the wildcat, which is why they did not run it when Bruce Arians was their coordinator.

Ben's such a drama queen.

Or maybe because it was exposed as just another gimmick that doesn't work when used extensively, was quickly figured out by defensive coordinators and rendered ineffective very shortly after the Dolphins beat the Patriots with it a few seasons ago.

Really surprised we even tried it. What's the use of putting Ben out at WR. Throw him the ball and he will get clobbered.
