Running back by Committee in Pittsburgh

First Willie Parker hurts his right knee and misses the Monday night show down with the Ravens. Next Rashard Mendenhal goes down in the 3rd quarter of the Raven game with a separated shoulder. Carey Davis goes down in the 4th quarter with a sprained angle and the Steelers are down to one running back. Mewelde Moore the third down running back had to do it all in the 4th quarter. What happens if he gets hurt? Lets bring in Heath Miller to play running back. Lucky he made it through the game and they came out with a win. They have a hugh test this Sunday night against Jacksonville.

What did the Steelers do? they go out and sign Najeh Davenport back and bring in Gary Russell from the practice squad. I would not of brought back Davenport with the likes of Cedric Benson or even Shaun Alexander. Benson was signed by the Bengals and Alexander is still out there. Why not sign him?  He would fit the mold well. He is a great runner and is able to block.

So with running back being thin it could be a long season. Lets hope Parker comes back strong. Ben Roethlisberger needs to step it up and show his leadership like he did on Monday night. Plus, the offensive line needs to really earn there money! If they do not it is going to be a long year. Ben is going to spend more time on ground than the whole team in the end zone.
