James Conner good to go for Sunday

[Steel Maniac]

Not a fan of running back by committee especially when 3 of your 5 lineman are out.

Our line is where our focus needs to be

[hawaiiansteel]

I don’t think he or Snell will be running that effective today.

so you won't be able to ride Conner this week to the top of your fantasy league standings like you did last week, huh?

[NorthCoast]

disagree with Conner at the goal line 3 and short.. why not snell?

[Buzz]

Guess you can put the brakes on the Benny Snell bandwagon, for awhile at least. Looks like Conner's still the man -- for now.

If I was Benny, I'd be working on ball control. Coughs it up way too much to be a feature back

[whisper]

He went to PITT for 3 or 4 years and that’s what they are referencing. Pitt and the Steelers share the same practice facility and that’s part of the reason we drafted him.

No, the announcers I hear talk about it say he "grew up right here in Pgh." No he didn't. Then they also will claim Erie is "just north" of Pgh, like it's a suburb. No it isn't.

Well, big and fast isn't the only criteria either. Edmunds is big and fast.

you mean the guy who made the game saving sack?

Conner ran well today ; the line played better then I was expecting. As long as we can run the rock , the rest of the offense clicks. Snell has some work to do.

you were wrong again, what a surprise.

thanks for putting Conner on your bench today for your fantasy team so he could score a TD, run for over 100 yards and score over 20 fantasy points.

Conner needs a FB leading the run. FINALLY put Watt in and what happens?.... Conner rips a 50 ydr. Fichtner is not a good OC.

[feltdizz]

I’m not mad at the outcome but I don’t thing you can point to a big run when the D sells out as proof of anything.

Props to Conner for a good game. I was shocked to see him get the start after last week. Snells fumble told me why he didn’t get the nod.

[NorthCoast]

Why is Samuels wasting space on this roster? Brings nothing to the offense. Where is McF?

[Ghost]

Happy he got the sack but that was a Denver screwup and he was totally unblocked. Any player could have made that sack. And he had a horrific pass interference on 3rd and 11.

[hawaiiansteel]

Tomlin cares about getting players from VA and MD.

so only 4 players on our 53 man roster went to college in VA or MD.

how were the other 49 players able to overcome Tomlin's insistence on only wanting players from those two states?

Can't really talk much sense to an individual who deals in the extreme end of conspiracies.

I did not think JC had a good game. It was certainly better than last week - but I really didn't see any runs that made me go 'wow'. Some nice power on a few, not too bad when he hit the hole right off the bat. But overall still seems slow to me, he's not making people miss - and the run at the end of the game was simply denver selling out and him having a good lead block. I will caveat that though I thought the line play was good today - until I rewatch the game and pay closer attention to the run blocking, I'm not prepared to say it's all on JC.

for whatever reason though, our run game today was not sufficient in my opinion.
