My weekly write up will be late tomorrow- probably in the PM. I gotta actually do work all day tomorrow at work. I usually spend my first hour or two writing these, but can't tomorrow. Or I might reconsider... haven't decided yet.

Just in watching the Steelers defense vs. Bengals, a few things stood out:
1) WR motion tends to remove a defender from the box (and consequently, the fit), as Pitt. passes off and does not chase...leaving one less defender in the box. They don't want to do that vs. us.
2) They blitz off the right side multiple times( 5 or 6!)in the first half with a db from the slot.
3) They are not overly interested in disguising backend coverages.
4) Edmonds still appears uncomfortable in man.
5) Bush keys the RB

Can't CBS/FOX do their own flex scheduling and move announcers around based on match up? Nantz and Romo are commentating the Chargers and the lowly Broncos(sorry Joe, Elway is a terrible GM). At least they could have sent Nantz and Romo to Charlotte to cover Minshew Mania.
definitely odd what games Nantz / Romo are getting this week. Even a couple weeks ago thought for sure they should have been calling our game vs. the Chiefs. Nantz and Romo seem to be in the 4pm time slot, but I'm not sure if that happens all the time.

So it does seam like Skura is doubtful. If he doesn't play they I'm hoping the choice is to move Bozeman to center and not play the Mekari there.

My choice would be Stanley - Powers - Bozeman - Yanda - Brown Jr., but I could see them starting Hurst at LG, which is a scary thought.

Of course according to the Ravens Depth Chart, Bozeman is the backup C and Mekari is the backup G.

Latest update:

Harbaugh said there is a very good chance that Skura plays on Sunday. per Zriebec

He's listed as questionable - which usually translates to able to play. As well as BWill and Cyrus Jones

I don't think Andrews is on the injury report this week, which is a welcome omission
 
We've not had the greatest games vs. Steeler backup QBs through the years, though we often still came out with wins (just way closer than we hoped). I will be sick if we let Mason Rudolph pick us apart. We cannot let that happen.
