The defense fell apart in the second half at Oakland, mostly because of the lack of a consistent pass rush. Polamalu and Harrison have been the most vital elements of Dick LeBeau's zone blitz for years. I'm thinking their presence on the field shouild make the other players more effective.

Eagle running back LeSean McCoy is a hometown favorite here in Harrisburg, but on Sunday he's the enemy.

Unfortunately, I'll likely not see the game as my son has a baseball tournament in Maryland.
