    I hope I am not being vague.
    Okay, so what you're saying is that despite Dwyer's overachieving this preseason you're taking a "wait and see" approach, and will be happy with whoever ends at up taking the majority of the snaps at RB as long as they help the team win?

    Got it.

    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

    I was really looking forward to watching Mendy run with an improved o-line, but as it sits now, IMO, Redman can be more productive.

    Another AS masterpiece.

    And you base your opinion on a very small sample size that consists mainly of preseason games?
    Trolls are people too.

    Can Redman play or is he still dinged up?

    I recently read where Redman's ankle injury may very well bother him somewhat for the rest of the season.

    It's comforting to know that the Steelers drafted God in the 6th rd of the 2010 draft, so this shouldn't be too much of a problem overall.

    thankfully it doesn't always take God a couple of years before he shows up like it has with Dwyer or this world would be in big trouble...

    God? We drafted the Father, Son AND Holy Ghost in the 6th... and on the seventh, we rested.

    I can't believe I fell for another JD love thread.

    It's called "predicting." Shoot, son, I didn't conclude this from some preseason games; I already had this belief as soon as I checked him out after the drafted him. I have been telling every football fan friend I have that JD is going to shock some people in a good way.
