The Steelers wide receivers expect to see plenty of man-to-man coverage from the Jets' heralded cornerbacks.
They says they're looking forward to it, too.
"We love it," Pittsburgh WR Antonio Brown said. "We love when we see one-on-one coverage. You've got to beat your man then, and that's what we've got to do."
Conventional wisdom says the Jets have the best pair of cornerbacks in the league in Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie. No one in the Steelers locker room Wednesday said anything to lead you believe they disagree.
WR Mike Wallace marveled at how Revis is always in the right place at the right time, and Brown talked about how the Steelers are placing emphasis this week on finding ways to attack the likes of Revis, Cromartie, CB Kyle Wilson and FS LaRon Landry. All were first-round draft picks.
"Revis gets a lot of the talk, and deservedly so," QB Ben Roethlisberger said. "He's one of the best. But I think it's unfair to the rest of that secondary, especially Antonio Cromartie. He's a great, long DB and ball hawker that makes plays. I don't know if he gets the credit that he is due."
Not that any of the Steelers' receivers are backing down from facing any of those individuals in lieu of the double coverages they often see.
"Man vs. man, it's you against him," Wallace said. "Any time you get that, it's always an opportunity for you to go out and show what you can do and show your skill set."
Foster sees clearly now: G Ramon Foster talked about the potentially scary situation Sunday of his vision considerably blurring during the loss to Denver. Foster did not play during the second half due to what was diagnosed an optimal migraine.
"I could see, but it wasn't exact," Foster said. "It was just one of those things that a migraine was messing with my vision... I was more worried if it was brain thing than anything.
Foster said there wasn't a particular play or moment that triggered the ailment and that he didn't notice it until he sat on the bench after an offensive series.
"The vision came back right before halftime," Foster said before adding, "but the migraine got worse. It was intense."
Foster is fine now and will play Sunday against the Jets.
Harrison does not practice: Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that LB James Harrison worked out Monday and the team would monitor the progress of his left knee injury throughout the week.
The first progress report was not a positive one. Harrison did not practice Wednesday. He also refused to speak to reporters afterward, as has become customary. None of this is a good sign in terms of his possible availability for facing the Jets on Sunday.
Dwyer added to injury report: The buzz surrounding RB Jonathan Dwyer began when he reported to camp appearing to be in great shape and has grown to a crescendo after he was the most effective Steelers' back in the regular season opener. Is a foot injury going to dampen that enthusiasm?
Dwyer did not practice Wednesday, and the Steelers are saying it's because of a foot injury. The ailment, however, is not known to be serious. Dwyer is expected to return to practice Thursday. If so, he'll likely be on track for a significant role Sunday against the Jets.
Rest of the injury report: DE Ziggy Hood was limited in practice by a back injury, and LB Stevenson Sylvester (knee) and S Troy Polamalu (calf) did not practice.
Sylvester will miss at least a couple more weeks. Polamalu did not come across as overly concerned about his injury when talking after practice Wednesday. Tomlin has been known to give tenured veterans Wednesday off from practice anyway during the regular season. The calf only gave him another excuse.
"Coach knows how I feel better than I do," Polamalu said with a smile.
