No turn overs
OL needs to protect Smith
Washington can upset Pittsburgh, just need to play a smart, error free game
By the way, great article:

I agree with your keys. I am ok with Turner getting pass happy if that means short quick passes - as an extension of the running game.
I foresee a lot of pre-snap motion, misdirection, A Smith getting the ball out of his hands quickly and allowing JD, Antonio, Scary Terry, Sims, etc. make big plays. Give Pit a lot of different looks and things to think about.
I also hope they incorporate Logan Thomas a little more. I wouldn't mind seeing him under center a couple times, executing the run-pass option.
