Good Thursday to you, Steelers fans!
This is one of my favorite times of the year. It’s because of the build up to the season: that feeling of excitement that the NFL season is almost upon us. That enthusiasm that a season anew brings each year. Well, to a lot of us.
It is not the over-analyzing of players, units or whether the Steelers will succeed/fail based on how they perform in the preseason. This is a time when coaches neither game plan nor even try to put their players in the best position to win. On the contrary, they purposely put them in positions designed to challenge them to see how they’ll respond.
