Vs Green Bay

It's finally the end of the work week. I can imagine everyone is relieved, especially since tomorrow night Steelers play Green Bay. For everyone not living in or around Pittsburgh, the game will not be shown on national TV. However, the game will be shown on the NFL Network, 5pm, Sunday (thanks http://wannabearooney.blogspot.com).
So any expectations for tomorrow's game? I'd love to see Ben play more. Somehow his 3 pass attempts, although nearly flawless, left me wanting more. And a little no-huddle wouldn't hurt. I'm curious to see to what extent, if any, the TEs will be involved. Also, I'd like to see Mahan play center. Okobi got run over too many times againist the Saints. Finally, in regards to offense, I can't wait to see what RBs Davis and Russell are capable of. The Packers have a decent defense so the first quarter should be fun to watch.
Defensively, it will be interesting to see how Farve and his wideouts match up againist our secondary. Farve's been known to force things, but in a preseason game he shouldn't feel that pressure. Hopefully, our DBs can stand up to the test. Additionally, it will be nice to see our LB corps near complete. Harrison and Foote are healthy and although Timmons is still out, we should see significant playing time from Woodley.
For sure there are 2 things I don't want to see. First, no drops from Nate. Second, no muffed punts and/or kickoff returns. Both of these are getting really old and starting to annoy me. Please guys, hold onto the ball.
Should be an interesting preseason match. I know a lot of people think these games are meaningless, but whatever, you take what you can get. I also posted my season predictions on www.steelreign.com if anyone wants to check 'em out. Please don't take them too seriously. Remember, it's just a game.
