Boldin committed to the prize.....
.....the Cardinal's now outspoken receiver reiterated his commitment to the team and to the prize. Boldin has put what took place last Sunday behind him and says "I'm committed to this team...One goal in mind...to win the Super Bowl." Boldin came back early from a facial injury earlier this season to contribute and is expected to play a bigger role in Super Bowl XLIII.
Roethlisberger misses practice.....
.....the Steeler's quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (back) sat out of practice Wednesday, which isn't believed to be a big concern. Big Ben has not been limited with the injury throughout the post season and with the extra week of rest, he's not expected to slowed in any way.

Ward expected to play...
.....the Steeler's tough wide receiver Hines Ward (MCL sprain) was held out of practice Wednesday like nine other Steelers. He is resting and rehabbing the sprained knee, but all indications are Ward is going to make every effort to play on Super Sunday. With the extra week of rest his chances are good to be on the field against the Cardinals.

Warner is Mr. Consistent...
....the Cardinal's quarterback Kurt Warner is being dubbed "The Deliverer." Nine years ago Warner delivered a Super Bowl title to the city of St.Louis and his consistent play in this post season has him on the verge making another delivery. Warner has thrown at least two touchdowns in all three post season contests, along with completing 19, 21, and 21 passes.

Parker will be key in Super Sunday...
....the Steelers running back Willie Parker is healthy and should be ready for a big load on Super Sunday. In two post season contest Parker has had 27 and 24 carries. The Cards defense that allowed110-yards per game during the regular season has played well this post season, but they are sure to see a heavy dose of Fast Willie-P.
Fitzgerald will pose many problems...
....the Cardinal's Superstar receiver has played his way into the post season elite and will undoubtedly be a defensive coordinator's nightmare. Fitzgerald has yet to be stopped in the post season averaging nearly 8 receptions and 140-yards receiving per game.

James making first trip to Big Dance...
....with the team's new emphasis of the run on the early downs, James has been returned to the starting lineup and found new life over the last several weeks. James is averaging 17 carries and 76-yards per game in his last four starts. This will be his first trip to the Super Bowl ad he figures to play a big part in the run game for Arizona.
Miller is quietly consistent...
....the Steeler's tight Heath Miller has never been considered a big-time pass receiving option in Pittsburgh's offense, but over the past month he's been quietly consistent. Miller may never have fantasy numbers, but he comes up with timely and effective catches. In his last four starts Miller has 19 receptions for 223-yards and a touchdown. Miller also has two third down receptions and a fourth down reception in the post season, all or first downs.
IDP NEWS...
Woodley playing well in post season.....
....the Steeler's linebacker LaMarr Woodley has been Mr. Pressure Cooker in the post season with four sacks and 12 total tackles. His ability to pressure Warner on Sunday will be a key for the Steeler's defense to be successful.

Wilson's wait pays off....
.....the Cardinal's safety Adrian Wilson has been with the team since being drafted by Arizona back in 2001. With ample opportunity to skate town, Wilson has remained loyal to the team that drafted 2nd in the third round of the 2001 draft. Not only has it been eight seasons later, but Adrian has been saving his best for now, coming off last Sunday's seven tackle, two sacks, and a forced fumble performance.
Polamalu continues to be playmaker....
.....despite injury to his calf during warmups prior to the Steeler's divisional round playoff game, Polamalu has not missed a beat and continues to be Johnny-on-the-spot. Last Sunday the Steeler's safety came up with a decisive interception for a touchdown in the 4th quarter.

DRC will be key for the Cards....
....the Cardinal's rookie Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was instrumental shutting down the Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith two weeks ago and will likely be key matching up against Holmes to take away the deep ball. In three games DRC has totaled 15 total tackles, seven passes defensed, and two interceptions.
Laboy has strain not tear....
.....the Cardinal's biggest casualty heading into the Super Bowl is defensive end Travis LaBoy's bicep strain. Even with the injury, LaBoy is expected to try and play against the Steelers. Bert Berry could see more action, if LaBoy is limited.
