Mewelde Moore: 17/99 yards, and other intersting stats

No love for Russell? He didn't run too bad himself.

And Moore is flat out impressive. IMO...he should be our #2 RB at this particular point.

i liked what i saw from russell on sunday night a lot. man that guy has some serious potential. i didnt realized how quick he is. it looks like he dropped a few pounds from last year. i agree moore should be the #2 rb. mendenhall better do something next season or he might not be needed

Moore is a more complete back than Willie is. He has better vision to find an opening and way better hands.
I believe he is not far behind Willie in the speed department either.

Re: Mewelde Moore: 17/99 yards, and other intersting stats

As much as I've been singing Moore's accolades, I have to admit that the brief look we had of Russell, he impressed me as well. Not so much as what he yielded in terms of production but more so his running style. The quick peddling motion reminded me of The Bus. That was the hallmark of Bettis, not only a great engine and the big body to complement, but the quick feet that seemed to never stop churning. I think that with these two discoveries, it would be such a disservice to go back to what we've been doing since FWP became the feature set RB in our backfield. I've been screaming for diversity behind Ben. I hope we continue to explore our talents back there. It seems that the FO found themselves another FA that has all the characteristics of a man of Steel. A little blurb from an article where Moore was interviewed taken from Steelers.com....

“I am really happy about it,” said Moore. “It’s definitely something I have been waiting for. I have been waiting for an opportunity. I have been waiting for the challenge to present itself and try to make the most of it. And we got a win out of it so I am really happy.

Moore set the standard early when on the first play of the game he went up the middle for a 19-yard gain and continued to make huge contributions throughout.

“I have a lot of plays in me,” said Moore. “My offensive line and wide receivers did a great job of blocking downfield. That’s where it starts. Them believing and trusting I was going to get it done, you could see it up front as they were moving guys around for me.

“The expectations never change from Willie to Mendenhall to me. The standard of expectation doesn’t change here. The thought is not only do we know you are going to do it, but you have to do it. We went out there and got it done as a team.”

There was just one minor thing that didn’t get done. Moore had 99 yards, falling just one short of getting a 100-yard game. But, he isn’t complaining.

“It would have been like icing on the cake,” said Moore. “A win and 99 yards, the win is my extra yard. I am satisfied with the win. I am satisfied with what we accomplished as a team.”


All about "team"... a true Steeler guy.

lets not go crazy now. i like moore a lot but better vision? if fwp played sunday night he would of had just as good of a game if not better. the holes that moore had any rb could of found. the run blocking was the best it has been all year. moore is a better receiver than fwp is, that i will agree with

Re: Mewelde Moore: 17/99 yards, and other intersting stats

The question is that when FWP comes back who is deactivated on game day? I hope it is Carey Davis or Dookie. Please do not put Russell on the bench again Try to give him about 10 carries per game and I think we will see a solid player blossom before our eyes.

they would definetly dress russell over dookie. i would be suprised if moore isnt returning kicks and punts once fwp is back. davis is a fb and even though mchugh is a better blocker i think he would be active. i dont see what tomlin sees in davis.

Yea, really. Can we please get off this "<<insert name here>> is a more complete back than Willie Parker is . . . WTF, if 1500 yards rushing is the product of a non-complete running back, I'll take it. I thought we were over this after the Richard Mendenhall crap. None of them are bad, but if they were all better than a guy who averaged around 1400 yards over three season, then they would be doing a lot better than being a backup.

LaDainian Tomlinson is a more complete back than Willie Parker is.

Re: Mewelde Moore: 17/99 yards, and other intersting stats

Since the beginning of FWPs tenure, I've been a supporter of his certain talent. But after SB XL I realized that in order to be truly successful in this league our offense need to follow suit with what the rest of the NFL has done... backfield by consensus. Look at the wear and tear that LT and Westbrook have now started manifesting due to the over dependancy of their respective offenses on their particular "single" talents. Having differing backs give us dimension while keeping our depth. I love FWP, but Moore can surely help us in other avenues because he brings a different skillset to the table. Let's not be obtuse to the idea that both of these backs could co-exist. Noteworthy is the G-Men's run through the playoffs last season... not only under the will of a revamped and focused Eli Manning but by presenting a nasty running game that had two varying entities (Jacobs and Bradshaw). How effective were we in 2005 when Parker shared time with Bettis?

Nothing stops. Nothing... or you will do the hardest time there is. No more protection from the guards. I'll pull you out of that one-bunk Hilton and cast you down with the Sodomites. You'll think you've been @#$%ed by a train! And the library? Gone... sealed off, brick-by-brick. We'll have us a little book barbecue in the yard. They'll see the flames for miles. We'll dance around it like wild Injuns! You understand me? Catching my drift?... Or am I being obtuse?
