Steelers need the big plays on both sides

Published: January 15th, 2011 | Tags: Pittsburgh Steelers, Antonio Brown, Antwaan Randle El, Dawan Landry, Ed Reed, Emmanuel Sanders, Michael Oher, Mike Wallace

The Ravens have jumped out to a 14-point lead with a number of big plays, and the Steelers need to do the same thing here in the second half.

The Ravens are going to keep safeties Ed Reed and Dawan Landry over Steelers WR Mike Wallace, but Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown have speed, too. So the Steelers have to keep spreading them out and trying to work on the depth of the Ravens cornerbacks.

The Steelers also have used gimmick plays in the past, a flea-flicker with Antwaan Randle El might be in order. They need something explosive.

On defense, I would overload Ravens T Michael Oher with defensive back blitzes and gamble on a big play out of my defense.
