LenDale White a marked man at Heinz Field?
September 10, 2009
Let’s just hope he can get out of Heinz Field in one piece.
LenDale White is just one of the story lines heading to the very first game of the 2009 NFL football season. You see, White had the audacity to desecrate Pittsburgh’s terrible towels merely days before his Titans and the defending champion Steelers go head to head for the season opener this Thursday.
A case of bad judgment on his part? One thing’s for sure though, this really puts things in perspective as far as the anticipation for the NFL season is concerned.
And as far as Troy Polamalu and the rest of the Pittsburgh Steelers are concerned, you can bet your ass that they are pumped up for the opener. One, they are coming in as the defending Super Bowl champions. Two, they probably just want to beat the crap out of LenDale White.
The Pittsburgh Steelers look to be in as good a shape as any Super Bowl winner to make a second run at another Lombardi Trophy. The Steelers made it through training camp with no significant setbacks other than losing starting guard Darnell Stapleton to knee surgery for the season.
They return 19 of their 22 starters, including a healthy Rashard Mendenhall, their top draft pick in 2008 who was knocked out for the season in the fourth game. He will join Willie Parker, who missed five full games with injuries, as the one-two punch in their backfield.
As far as the Tennessee Titans are concerned, they are hoping that they can have a repeat of last season’s success when they virtually came out of nowhere to take over the AFC.
With Kerry Collins patrolling the offense, the Titans were able to become one of the heavy favorites to win the AFC after Tom Brady’s week 1 injury virtually took the New England Patriots out of the picture.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t come up with anything in the postseason as they got their asses handed to them by the visiting Ravens in front of their fans at LP Field. The Titans hope this year will be different and after LenDale White made a mockery of the defending champs, it already is.
