Yes the Pittsburgh Steelers move over Wright Brothers of North Carolina take flight for the 1st time in 2014 vs the NY Football Giants. Big Ben and Company cannot go 8-8 in 2014 for the 3rd straight year as everyone in Steelers Land USA is on the clock. What to looks for in Tonight's Match Up....

#Steelers PITTSBUGH (0-0)

MET LIFE Blue

Steelers Offensively:

Big Ben will be behind center with Bruce Gradkowski and Landry Jones getting plenty of snaps behind Ben.

2nd-Year RB Le'Veon Bell from Sparty by way of Columbus, Ohio Area is due for a huge year after gaining nearly 900 yards in just 13 games. He is also a Fantasy Football Must-Have due to his pass-catching ability. RB Legarrette Blount gives the Steelers Short Yardage "Prowess" with Rookie "Shutterbug" Dri Archer Faster than fast and he should be electric in the Kicking Game as well as 3rd down.

Antonio Brown is a True #1 as that #2 Slot for now goes to 2nd-year WR Markus Wheaton. Wheaton has come on in Camp and is a pure Route Running Wide out. 2014 FA Pick Up Lance Moore will be in the slot and he should fit right in. That 4th slot is up for grabs as Rook Clemson WR Martavis Bryant is a Red Zone Killer. Justin Brown has also had an excellent camp with Derek Moye and Darrius Heyward-Bey on the outside looking in. Heeeeeeath Miller and Matt Speath round out the TEs!

O-Line as long as Twin is healthy they should have their best year under the tutelage of one NFL HOF Mike Munchak the new Steelers O-Line Coach. Kelvin Beachum has emerged as the LT with Mike Adams behind him. David DeCastro has to reach expectations as this is year #3.

Steelers Defensively:

Cam Thomas (2014 FA Bolts) should give that D-Line a huge boost as Steve McClendon and Cameron Heyward round out the 1st line of defense. Rookie DE Stephon Tuitt is a sleeper and might be the most athletic of the bunch and fastest.

The Backers is where it always is in Steeler Land. Rookie Ryan Shazier looks the part as he should join Law-Dawg Timmons in the inside. Jason Worilds and Jarvis Jones are the Outside Starters with plenty of solid depth behind all parties. Vince Williams, Sean Spence, Arthur Moats (2014 FA Bills), Terrance Garvin, and Chris Carter should lend a huge helping hand at least o special teams.

The Secondary as we might see FS Mike Mitchell as Troy Polamalu and Ike Taylor lead that bunch to no ones surprise. Vet Will Allen will spell Mitchell and in Passing Situations the extra Safety in Dime or Nickel. Cortez Allen will man opposite of Taylor with William Gay the Nickel CB. Shamarko Thomas and Robert Golden are Safety Back Ups.

Game Time is 7:30pm ET Tonight... #SteelersKickOff
