The first Steelers preseason game against the Eagles was on August 8, 2008 at Heinz Field. I have been waiting patiently for this game for what I could see that our rookie draft picks in action. It was satisfied with the Steelers draft, but I now see Mendenhall and Sweed Dixon in action. 1St series for our offense and defense would be good test because the Eagles are good on both sides of the ball.

Big Ben came out and had executed a drive 80 yards of pleasant appearance that ended with a 19-yard td pass to Santonio Holmes. That the first drive had me on the edge of my seat and felt was a regular game!
