I think if we as Bengals fans are counting on Kenny Watson to be the difference in this game, our team is in big trouble. This isn't the Jets' defense he'll be seeing this week, and losing Big Willie will really hurt the run game. Really sucks that he has to miss this one, of all weeks.

What I hope is that Watson can run well enough to keep the Steelers "D" honest. Pittsburgh's secondary should be vulnerable to a downfield attack, and that's how the Bengals have had success against them in the past. Problem is, they won't be able to do much if they're on the sideline the whole game while Willie Parker keeps picking up 5-6 yards a pop and moving the chains.

Conventional wisdom is that power backs like Rudi don't have as much success against the Steelers as do cutback runners, which is something Watson and Dorsey can do.

Exactly like I've been saying (not rubbing it in or anything, just pointing out that Watson and Dorsey *I didn't say anything about Dorsey, I admit that* can have success against the Steelers and it could be a big part of our gameplan). They also further smashed the talk of Chad being traded.
