    When i was doing my internship as a teacher, one of my projects for the kids was to read his blog. It wa cool to see how excited they got when he responded to their emails.

      I only question his work ethic compared to Batch's because it's a 1st round talent to a 7th rounder. who is more hungry?

        Casey Hampton is more hungry.
        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 sure do hope we get to see this kid in action next season. He has impressed me so far and hasn't even played a down. Stay healthy, BB....

              Is it just me, or does Baron Batch look a little bit bigger than he did last year?

              I hope that his knee stays in one piece, and that he's not ultimately a fragile person. He impressed me in training camp, and I think he could make Rashard Mendenhall expendable.

              I can't speak about Mendenhall's work ethic, mainly because I barely know anything about the guy, but he just seems to lack the toughness and intensity that I like in a RB.

                I don't know if he seems bigger than last year or not, but I was certainly surprised to see his bulk just in general. I would have expected him to be closer to 200 than 220.
