Kemoeatu, criticized last year for taking penalties and missing blocks, is now counted on the same way Alan Faneca was before him. Kemoeatu is extremely important to the Steelers' ground attack The Steelers trend toward running to the right. To accomplish this, the left guard is expected to pull and help the right side of the line in run blocking. Kemoeatu hasexcelled at this role.Starks, the team's transition and franchise player in 2008 and 2009, respectively, has also shined in his first full season as the starting left tackle. Replacing the departed Marvel Smith, Starks has been healthy, stable, and effective while protecting Ben Roethlisberger's blind side. Essex is possibly the most surprising. Never given an opportunity to start regularly, Essex was pressed into service after Darnell Stapleton went down for the season. Replacing Stapleton, arguably the line's weakest link in 2008, Essex proved that he was a capable blocker. While it's too early to tell, it is likely that Essex has secured the spot for theforeseeable future.At 6-2, the Steelers are pretty much where they expected to be.

That month, Lehman Brothers collapsed, sending short termbank borrowing costs worldwide spiking on fears that borrowersmight be unable to repay short term loans and taking the globalcredit crisis to a new extreme. As interbank rates continue to ease and activity creepsslowly back into some areas, analysts caution that short termfunding markets remain on government life support and thatbanks are still hoarding a lot of cash.
