Steelers Question of the Week: Offense vs. Defense vs. Special Teams

The Steelers have always been known to be a smashmouth offensive, strong defensive team.  The smashmouth portion of the persona, however, was slightly changed when Offensive Coordinator Bruce Ariens entered the Steelers' picture last season.  His style of offense caused quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to finish with the highest passer rating of his career.  Given what we already know about the Steelers, which division of the Steelers will perform the best this season, the offense, defense, or the special teams?

Well

In terms of rankings, the Defense should finish top 3, or top 5 or 10 at worst.

But in terms of what we are used to, the offense will be much better and in the top 10, possibly top 5.

Special teams are usually not even in the picture.

The D

will be our bread and butter, but the offense will make major strides this year.

Defense

Unless our DL just falls apart, our defense should be the strength of the team again.

QB- 1st round
WR- 1st round
WR- 2nd round
TE- 1st round
TE- 3rd round
RB- 1st round

The offence better shine or BA won’t be around.
