| PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The Steelers return, after a week off, to the field again this weekend taking on the Eagles.
The bye week certainly helped the Steelers in the injury department.
The extra time will make it possible for three of their best players to be available this Sunday when the eagles come to Heinz Field – and they’ll need them to avoid a 1-3 start.
Despite building a 3-1 record, the Philadelphia offensive line has been porous for the most part.
Michael Vick has been knocked down an NFL leading 44 times, which is 18 more times than the next most hit quarterback.
The Steelers have not been good at hitting or getting to the quarterback so far this year, but getting James Harrison back should help.
“We have to try and get pressure on him,” Steelers linebacker James Harrison said. “It’s not necessarily sacks, but we have to try and get pressure on him and keep him contained, you know, because once you let him get out of there and start using his legs to make plays, it’s going to be a long road to hoe.”

| With Vick I'm not so sure it's about pressure as it is containment and coverage?
Hard to call, because if Vick gets outside of containment he becomes a very dangerous moving object. However, I've noticed that if he's contained and we keep coverage he's not as dangerous. _________________  60 MIN 53 MEN 1 NATION STEELERS NATION  I am the MAN that created the MYTH that started the LEGEND

| He is correct if you can rattle Vick early then his passing game goes all to hell. Hopefully a well rested Harrison can rattle his cage for him.  _________________  | |
