It's that time of year again. Well, almost that time of year: The Pittsburgh Steelers are less than three weeks away from arriving at St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa. to start the journey towards another awesome (hopefully) Steelers season.
As always, there are many questions surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers with 2012 season just around the corner.
For starters, how quickly will Ben Roethlisberger and the rest of the Steelers offense adapt to new offensive coordinator Todd Haley's playbook?
Will Roethlisberger get along with Haley as well as he did with old buddy Bruce Arians? Well, maybe that's a stupid question. Better yet, how well will the two be able to co-exist?
Is Haley as crazy as fans of his former employers say he is?
Will Mike Wallace actually report to Latrobe on time, or will the restricted free agent receiver continue his hold-out?
Will the Steelers' young and talented offensive line, led by first round draft choice David DeCastro, live up to the hype, or will there be major growing-pains?
On the defensive front, will defensive end Ziggy Hood make the leap from promising 2009 first round draft choice to bona fide Aaron Smith replacement, or will 2011 first round pick Cam Heyward leap-frog Hood and start in Smith's place?
Does Casey Hampton have another year left in him after having offseason knee surgery?
Will Keenan Lewis, Cortez Allen and Curtis Brown build on their promising 2011 campaigns and make the number one passing defense from a year ago even better?
Will we actually miss William Gay? If so, that would be really ironic.
After making three Super Bowls since 2005, has the window closed on this awesome era of Steelers football, or is there still an opportunity for another Lombardi, or at least a serious run at one?
I don't know the answers to any of these questions, but the answers will start to take shape in just 19 days.
I can't wait!
