Dennis Dixon to start this weekend vs. Ravens?

Post by whosyourwally »

Rothlesberger is showing "concussion-like" symptoms according to sportscenter after a shot to the head yesterday and back-up charlie batch will need wrist surgery, keeping him out for 6 weeks. That leaves the steelers with only my man DD.

costly overtime for the steelers.

Good for him, not the team i would want to make my debut against by any means but maybe haloti will take it easy on him.

it's the Sunday Night game too, I think. Great stage for Dixon to make his NFL debut.

Would love to see Dixon start and win. Not sure if their offensive scheme is best suited for him. But, hopefully we'll see.

Big Ben will get the start but he could take a hit and DD could be thrust into action at any moment. Not that I want to see Ben get injured but it would be nice to see Dixon get an opportunity.

LOL, that is funny to show that pic and say "bulked up." I know he is a little bigger it's just funny to me for some reason.
