What is the Steeler's biggest strength right now?

We all know how succesful this team has been over the past few years. This year has definately been a tough start form the terrible offensive line play and the struggling defense. It's very easy to pick out the weaknesses of this team but I'm finding it hard to find a real strength other than having a young core of recievers that will have success for many years to come. Thoughts?

And in honesty Ben, he is one tough QB, most Qbs would be dead.

Off the field, their unity.

On the field, Ben. Doesn't show up in the stats, but he never quits, he never stops trying to make something positive out of nothing.

AB on special teams, Ike's blanketing ability, Ben's toughness, Troy being the only person on the D who can make a tackle (and even he whiffs alot).

I agree with you that this team has a very strong unity. They have alot of great team leaders that should be able to help carry this team emotionally.

Make no mistake, just like we've been saying in the "be positive" thread, this team is not without talent or ability.
Antonio Brown is having a good start to the season
Mike Wallace is lighting it up and becoming a complete WR
Daniel Sepulveda is having a very good year, as is the special teams in coverage.
Heath Miller is as reliable as always
Isaac Redman is showing he needs to be in the starting lineup

The problem is not that this team has no talent, they have it coming out of their ears. As we've stated time and time again, until you have a functioning interior line on both sides of the ball, nothing else is going to work. All the skill position players in the world can't do anything if the QB can't get them the ball or the defensive line can't hold their blocks and get penetration.
