in September 7th, 2010 @ 11:58You and JS sum it up best Joe. Simply let Dixon be Dixon. Take the reins off and let him play. Sometimes to make an omelet you gotta break a few eggs.

in September 7th, 2010 @ 17:14Wow!!!
If it’s that damn complicated, Batch should start.
Let’s hope the defense returns to its 2008 greatness and carries the team until Roethlisberger gets back. Once Big Ben returns, expect that juggernaut offense to move smoothly up and down the field like a well-oiled machine, coasting and gliding between the 20s, piling up impressive and massive yardage … before eventually settlings for those “Reed Zone” field goals.

in September 7th, 2010 @ 21:03I like your “Reed Zone” field goals statement. Steelers can go 3 and 1 under Dixon if he takes care of the ball and the running game works somewhat. If LeBeau can get the defense back to 2008 form and they stay healthy, the Steelers can win a lot of games this season.

in September 7th, 2010 @ 19:08Letting running QB’s be themselves is a bad idea,,history tells us so. When is the last time a running QB won a superbowl? Dixon may be able to win 2-4 running around but it doesn’t work over a long enough timeline, D coaches catch on and shut it down. You have to be able to throw the ball in the NFL to win. Its a passing league like it or not…

in September 7th, 2010 @ 20:49I am not disagreeing with what you are saying and I like some of your points, but at any level, you need to run the football and establish a running game.

in September 7th, 2010 @ 20:43Agree with you Karl on running QBs., great point. But he’s not your prototype pocket passer. Plus he’s not here to win the Super Bowl., just play 4 games. Game 5 Ben is the QB regardless. Batch is a china doll back there and best suited in a backup role in my humble opinion.

in September 8th, 2010 @ 22:54John here is some political humor that I think you will enjoy. I really like the points Mark makes about Dixon. I know 99% of his act is schtick but he hits the nail on the head most times. Like him or hate him Madden has the radio biz figured out. Tim Benz tries to be Madden and just can’t pull it off. Benz is a joke. MM should have a national radio show,,he is that talented.

in September 9th, 2010 @ 13:04Way back when WTAE was holding auditions for sports talk show hosts, I wrote in my newspaper column ( I forget which paper) that of all the candidates, Madden is the only one who knows how to do a talk show. Unfortunately, I hardly ever hear him because of the music. I can’t imagine why they think they need to use him as a disc jockey. He’s got great ratings now. I have to believe that they would be at lewast 25% higher if they would lose the music..
