> [@HongKongFooey](#): > > One point re: penalties. I hope Cards fans won’t be too hard on Mike Gandy, I watch every Steelers game and he’s doing quite well, even considering that Harrison is dropping into coverage a lot. Most teams have done a lot more holding against Harrison. No, Gandy is doing great. Considering what LeBeau is throwing at the Cards I am impressed with the Offensive line as a whole. ---

They are doing well, one thing we haven’t seen from Lebeau yet is a delayed corner blitz, I think we will. Do the Cardinals zone block on running plays? I haven’t been able to tell. ---

Fitz pulls one in! ---

Outstanding catch from Fitz. I don’t know if the Steelers changed their coverage on him or if he’s just willing himself to get open, but I’m glad to see him making an impact. ---

> [@HongKongFooey](#): > > They are doing well, one thing we haven’t seen from Lebeau yet is a delayed corner blitz, I think we will. Do the Cardinals zone block on running plays? I haven’t been able to tell. Not sure what kind of Blocking scheme AZ is using. Grimm has an O-line working really well, I would love to see what he can do with a bit more talent. Yeah Fitz! He will have a post game record that will be very difficult to break. ---

That was a world-class catch; Ike Taylor had decent coverage. ---

I gotta say Brenda Warner is looking much better than last time Kurt was in a super bowl. ---

> [@HongKongFooey](#): > > Also, James Harrison could have had twice as many sacks this year if he hadn’t been held every fucking play. Prescient post. I think Gandy has 3 holds on him this game alone. ---

I really expect Super Bowl teams to not commit so many stupid penalties. ---

The Steelers O Line has lived up to their poor reputation. ---
