"We're not wondering will we make it back, if we'll make it back," said Holmes, the Most Valuable Player in Super Bowl XLIII. "We look forward to going back to the Super Bowl.'
Holmes is one of several Steelers working out at Tom Shaw Performance at Disney's Wide World of Sports. The players are preparing for the first day of training camp on July 31 at St. Vincent College, and, ultimately, the team's season opener against the Tennessee Titans Sept. 10 in a Thursday night game at Heinz Field.
"At the start of that first game, it's definitely going to be a blessing to see these guys (that) did it last year,' Holmes said. "But we know (with) the hard work that we put in, we're looking forward to going."
Some of Holmes' teammates who are training with him in Florida aren't as bold with their Super Bowl predictions, although they are confident.
"We definitely feel like we have a great opportunity ahead of us,' linebacker James Farrior said. "We can't get too far ahead of ourselves. We've just got to focus on the job at hand and take it through the proper steps, and we feel we can have another good season.'
