As a steeler fan, I hope they will continue to be a dominant force in the nfl next season however the recent defeat against Denver made it evident that pittsburgh will not have it all the same. The strong and powerful, Steelers defence has been under pressure from many nfl experts and paticulary went underfire from former nfl defensive tackle, Warren Sapp who claimed the steelers defence was ''old and slow'' But this comment was made prior to the 2011 season and the steelers ranked as the top defence during the 2011 regular season. What Sapp seemed to forget was that many in the steelers d are still quite young and fast such as the explosive linebacker, Lawerence Timmons and defensive end's Ziggy Hood and Cameron Heyward.
The Steelers will hope quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger will return much more ready and fit for the 2012 season after he suffered much of the 2011 season riddled with injuries. The Steelers qb however still managed to clock up a decent year throwing for 4,077 yards. The Steelers should also be a great outfit on the passing with great recievers such Antonio Brown, Mike Wallace and Emmanuel Sanders who have all proved themselves as being elite recievers in the current competitive nfl league. With all three clocking up a fine amount yards for the steel city side.
The Steelers should remain a very competive side in the league next season despite the unfortunate loss to Denver in the wildcard playoffs however they will need to strengthen both the cornerback and offensive line after the Corners looked all at sea against the ''poor'' throwing of Broncos Qb, Tim Tebow. The line will need to improve after giving away 42 sacks and ranking in with the 24th offensive line in the nfl 2011 regular season.
