I'd like to see you tear your ACL doing this.

Re: The Steelers offensive line is going to struggle a lot this season (again)
The Steelers are one of those teams like the Patriots who can suffer these supposedly "devastating" losses to key players and still manage to plug in scrubs and have them play at a high level just long enough to win football games. Are the Ravens one of those teams? With Suggs out, we might get to see.

Wes Welker, 2010 week 17
Domonique Foxworth, 2011 training camp, day 1
Neither one of them was touched when the injury occurred.
How easily we forget how close even routine NFL play can come to the limits of what the human body can support.

Re: The Steelers offensive line is going to struggle a lot this season (again)
What are you smoking? Are you calling the Steelers team mediocre? Of course Ben has had a huge part of the Steelers winning the SB in 08 and getting there in 2011, while having a bunch of other success (granted in 2005, he was riding that team more than winning it for them) but there is no question Ben has rarely ever played on an average team. The 08 team was from top to bottom arguably the best all around team in the NFL with a flawed offensive line, but the defense was out of this world. The only area where the Steelers have struggled at is the offensive line, I'd say there is a strength in pretty much every other area on the Steelers roster, maybe they could do with a slight upgrade at RB, but Redman looks like a powerhouse and probably an upgrade over Mendenhall as crazy as that may sound.
I do have a feeling though with Reothlisberger getting up there in age, the hits he will be taking this season could prove too much for him and could cost him time in the season. The Steelers will still win some of those games without Ben because of how good their teams still is, but they aren't quite what they used to be, and it could be the difference between winning the division and a wild card berth, or even (probably really unlikely) a missed trip to the play offs.

According to Schefter in This Piece, Decastro has significant knee damage but didn't tear his ACL.
Still sounds like the dude is down for quite some time with everything else he damaged.

Pittsburgh will be fine if they can stay healthy. However, that seems to be an issue for them.
