Beanie Weanie Wells in Pittsburgh today for

[steelz09]

And the TD Ben scored to bail out Bettis?

And the TD Ward dropped BEFORE Ben bailed out Bettis on the same drive?

Ward didn't catch a 3rd and 28 pass thrown to himself either.

If anything trying to cater to Bettis, AGAIN, hurt the offense. 4 attempts in the red zone to get ol' Bussie a TD in his home town.

And four times, he failed.

And the TD that Ward caught via Randle El in the SB because Ben couldn't do much of anything in that game? Does that mean they bailed out Ben on the biggest stage? Your argument isn't very objective at all.. completely 1-sided. Obviously, we don't stand a chance without a healthy Ben to win the SB but what exactly is your point?

My argument is completely objective. This team isn't about defense and running no matter how much people want it to be.

The success of this team has always been on the back of it's franchise QB.

Are the failures on him as well or is that a one way street. No need to respond because we all know your answer.

When he plays bad? Absolutely.

When Joe freaking Flacco goes 90 yards to win a division, and the biggest side show freak in NFL history carves this defense up like a turkey? Not a chance.

Right-o.... back on topic... Beanie Wells..

Chadman would be ok with this signing as it gives the Steelers a 1st round talent at 7th round talent prices. If they could rotate Wells & Dwyer, you might get decent 'powerback' play at great cap value.

Of course, it would completely negate the need to keep Redman.

And they'd still need a 3rd down/ change of pace type RB to be added.

But Chadman likes the idea of kicking the tyres of 'fallen 1st round picks'. It's not like they lost their talent.

Wells, Eben Britton & Darius Heyward-Bey are all young, relatively unwanted former 1st round talent players. For small contract numbers, what can it hurt to add them to the roster & see if they can evolve some of that talent?

[SteelerOfDeVille]

random thought... it amazes me how crash can make activity triple by just showing up...

Agreed. Sometimes a guy needs a new atmosphere. Sometimes he just needs to get healthy. I would think that if they can maintain some level of health, the Steeler OL should prove to be better than what was in AZ. Of course, the big IF is to see if Wells can pass the physical.

a 2nd physical, still no contract... i suspect they worry about his knee, as AZ did. time to start lookign for the draft... come to think of it, I may do a "grade the RBs in the draft" post... so we can look back over it this fall and see how awesome i am - lol

[Siggy00]

Go get Randy Moss. Play Moss/Plax/AB in a 3 wide base offense. Cotchery as #4.

Then draft PITT's Mike Shanahan as a TE in round #3 and groom him as Miller's eventual successor.

This isn't that hard to do. But I'm not working there.

[steelfin]

I am not sold on Wells...If the Cards let him go, why in the world would we want him?

Would actually be ok With Randy Moss, to be honest.

The Cardinals cut Wells & signed Mendy. Enough said.

Change of scenery? New start?

Fair enough...

I guess I am used to the Cards taking the Steelers re-treads, not the other way around...

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

If the Steelers find a chronic knee problem that isn't a simple clean-out....I don't want him.

[supersteeler]

We just let one problem go in their eyes anyway, so instead of finding a solution They bring in another problem.
With our money issues we won't be able to sign a good FA back or one any better than we have so the draft is our best option imo.
