Hello and welcome to the Super Bowl preview edition of Inside the Huddle. My name is Neil Reynolds,

and joining me to look ahead to Super Bowl 45 in Dallas is Mike Carlson of the BBC and Channel 4,

Nick Hallin of Sky Sports and Arlo White of BBC Radio 5 Live. Mike, let's get into this game,

the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers. I think we've established throughout this week,

there is not a lot between these two teams. No, it's probably the closest Super Bowl going into it that I can think of

in the past few years that I've been doing them. And the matchup is a fascinating one because the two

teams are so much mirror images of each other. They're constructed in very much the same way.

Can I just say how good you look on a radio podcast?

Good on the radio. Face for radio, absolutely, will it? I'm going to move on from that

because, you know, I don't think we should be insulting each other. We've worked well all year.

We need to just see it through to the end, Mike. Just one more game we can get there.

Let's look at it, Green Bay's offense against Pittsburgh's defense. And if I look at the Packers

offense, I think Aaron Rogers and the passing game, which is good because it's hard to run on

Pittsburgh's defense. Yeah, and I think you have to assume that Pittsburgh's going to be able

to stop the run.

Green Bay's offensive line has been a work in progress, but it's settled down.

It's not an elite line by any means, but it's been effective in pass blocking.

And run blocking has been a little bit more of a question.

I love when they go to that full T formation with two fullbacks and one tailback.

And James Starks, I think, makes a huge difference for them. Not that he's the explosive kind of runner that Richard Mendenhall is, say.

He reminds me a lot of Antoine Smith when he played for Buffalo. He's the kind of guy who will hit a hole that isn't there and still get you a yard or two rather than negative yards. Sure. He's not going to make too many people miss with a highlight move, isn't it? Yeah, exactly.

And he's an upright kind of runner, but he's got good vision. He's strong. And they need that in there,
