If there is any team to have Revis go down against it's actually a blessing in disguise it's pittsburgh. Sounds absurd right? Not really.

This is the thing. Having Revis ON the field allows Rex to be more flexible scheme wise. He can leave Revis by himself and get creative with the front.

Having Revis out Vs the Steelers and how it's not all bad is because scheme wise Rex will have to use more split safeties so Kyle isn't 1 on 1 by himself but where it's good is because the Steelers offensive line is absolute trash which means our pass rush should be SUPER effective. Our front 7 should go to work Sunday.

Did he really say the Steelers have an equal O-line to the Jets? In the words of Chris Carter "COME ON MANNN!!!"

I wouldnt say its a blessing in disguise that the second best CB in the history of the league is not playing. My gut feeling says that one of their WR'S are going to have a huge day, of course I hope i'm wrong. I'm looking at Pace, Wilkerson, Coples and Maybin get after BenRo all game making the secondary irrellevent.

Now Dustin Keller being out is the real blessing in disguise. Instead of bullshit dump off passess that are dropped or short on third down sanchez will have to look elsewhere which actually allow us to have a chance on coverting on third down.

We were extremely good on third down last week (10 of 14 as it turns out), and Keller seemed to be in and out of the game. In previous years what you say has been the case, but if last week becomes the norm then with or without Keller we'll be better in those situations.
