Steelers Offense:

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger – After a rough start against the Ravens he has really come on strong the last few weeks.

Running Back Rashard Mendenhall – Certainly not the best start and he missed a game due to a hamstring injury.

Fullback David Johnson – Plays both tight end and fullback and has really made some solid blocks from the fullback spot.

Tight End Heath Miller – One of, it not the best all around tight ends in the game.

Wide Receiver Hines Ward – Not his best start, but showed against the Titans that he is far from done. Still a great blocker.

Wide Receiver Mike Wallace – No longer a one trick pony as he can do it all now. Best deep receiver in the game.

Wide Receiver Antonio Brown – Always smiling and getting better by the game. has made some big catches this year.

Tackle – Max Starks – Has stabilized the left tackle spot since returning in week 5.

Tackle Marcus Gilbert – Missed some time with the shoulder injury, but is a quick learner and hopefully a long time Steeler.

Center Maurkice Pouncey – One of the best centers in the game and fun to watch.

Guard Chris Kemoeatu – Missed some time with his knee problem, but can still get it done when pulling right.

Steelers Defense:

Nose Tackle Casey Hampton – Down with a shoulder injury the last few games but looks to return this week.

Defensive End Brett Keisel – Silently putting together another strong year. Smart and good at tipping balls and staying in passing lanes.

Defensive End Ziggy Hood – The left defensive end spot is now his now that Aaron Smith has had his season end once again. He really has progressed nicely.

Inside Linebacker James Farrior – Knows where to be and captains the defense.

Inside Linebacker Lawrence Timmons – Has had to play outside with James Harrison out. Can\’t wait to get him back where he belongs.

Outside Linebacker LaMarr Woodley – The sacks are coming in bunches now.

Outside Linebacker James Harrison – Been sidelined since the Texans game, but pretty much won the game against the Colts.

Cornerback Ike Taylor – Fantastic start to the season and has locked down some great receivers thus far.

Cornerback William Gay – really has done a nice job replacing Bryant McFadden and playing nickel in sub packages.

Strong Safety Troy Polamalu – Looks like the same old Troy to me. Already several splash type plays to his credit and a touchdown return of a fumble.

Free Safety Ryan Clark – Showing good run support this year when asked in addition to his deep safety role.

Special Teams:

Special Teamer Arnaz Battle – Captain of special teams unit that has been rock solid thus far.

Kick Returner Antonio Brown – Has had some big returns thus far and almost broken several.

Punter Daniel Sepulveda – Knee looks better than ever and this could be his best season.

Kicker Shaun Suisham – Hopefully turning the corner now after a solid job against the Cardinals.
