It's the Super Bowl Baby!!
Big Ben focusing on another title.....
.....the Steeler's quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was a rookie the last time he played in the Super Bowl, just three years ago. While the Steelers were Champions it probably wasn't as memorable for Big Ben who struggled with 9 of 21 passing and two interceptions. This Sunday a more mature Roethlisberger will be looking to be more of a factor.
Boldin should not be limited.....
.....the Cardinal's wide receiver Anquan Boldin (hamstring) is not expected to be limited on Sunday. Boldin's strained hamstring is much improved and it is expected he'll be a big part of the team's offensive game plan.
Ward still yet to practice...
.....the Steeler's wide receiver Hines Ward (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Ward was on the field doing some light drills and running, but did not actually practice. Ward has a slight MCL sprain and is currently questionable for Sunday, although it looks like he'll be on the field.
Warner looking to repeat...
....the Cardinal's quarterback Kurt Warner has already led one team (Rams) with a dysfunctional past to football supremacy and will be looking for a repeat performance on Sunday. In Super Bowl XXXIV, Warner was the MVP passing for a record 414-yards and throwing two touchdowns. Can he do it again?
Arrington limited in practice...
....the Cardinal's running back J.J. Arrington (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday. Arrington has been a big part in the Cardinal's passing game and their ability to spread the defense. If he's not able to go, the Cards rookie Tim Hightower could see more time on the field.
Parker healthy and revving the engine...
....the Steeler's running back Willie Parker is as healthy as he's been since early this season. Parker will be facing a questionable Cardinal run defense that has been playing very well in the post season. Last season against Arizona Parker
Breaston could quietly be effective...
....the Cardinal's number three receiver Steve Breaston could go relatively un-noticed with so much attention being paid to Fitzgerald and Boldin on Sunday. With Cards likely to spread the field on Sunday, Breaston could see many looks in his direction.
IDP NEWS...
Wilson figures to play big role Sunday.....
....the Cardinal's safety Adrian Wilson will likely spend a lot of time around the line-of-scrimmage supporting the defense against the run and trying to stop Fast Willie Parker. In the post season Wilson has been solid with 16 tackles and 2 sacks.
Smith limited in practice....
.....the Cardinal's defensive lineman Antonio Smith (knee) was limited during practice Wednesday. The Cards defensive lineman has played well in the post season with two sacks and will be a big part of putting pressure on Big Ben this Sunday.
Woodley hoping to meet Warner....
....throughout the post season Steeler's linebacker LaMarr Woodley has been playing at a high level and making personal appearances in opposing offenses backfields. On Sunday Woodley hopes to add to his four post season sacks by meeting Cardinal's quarterback Kurt Warner up close and personal.
Laboy likely to play part-time....
.....the Cardinal's defensive lineman Travis LaBoy (biceps) has been limited in practice this week and will likely play in a limited role. LaBoy is expected to wear a brace to protect the biceps injury.
