Gerry: Looks like Batch will be No. 2

Re: Gerry: Looks like Batch will be No. 2

I look for the steelers to run their BUTTS off against Carolina. No way do they throw alot, and make Batch a target to get hammered. He's already as brittle as crystal. I say the steelers MIGHT run it between 60-70 times Thursday night.

this is very insightful and I think the Steelers will indeed try to establish their run game against a pathetic Panthers run defense that was shredded for 164 yards and 2 TDs against Miami and 191 yards and 2 TDs against the hapless Bengals.

That would also make sense. Unless there is somebody the Steelers want to look at, I'd imagine that they would want to shorten the game as much as possible.

I predict Dwyer and Redman have at least 10 carries each while Mendy gets less than 10.

I don't think Mendenhall plays at all. I think Redman and Moore split carries on the first drive and then take a seat as well. The rest of the game will belong to Dwyer, Clay, and Johnson.
