    DeAngelo Williams came in as a guy who had a reputation for injury - but he was amazing as the safety valve behind LevBell..
    yeah.. I don’t think there has ever been a season where he wasn’t injured. Even his rookie year he had 32 touches and a season ending at injury.

    He would find a way to get hurt, he always does.

      Av no thank you...

      Connor, would be a good back up for only 5 snaps a game. Unfortunately, he is not capable of taking more snaps. He plays too physical for his well being. Even splitting the rock and featured back in a few games, his body still broke down end of season.

      Decastro, intresting thought, yeah he wasn't himself the past 2-3 years, but I think he could be an upgrade to what we have currently on the roster. But this is dreaming scenerio, we should look elsewhere.

        If he was on the roster, we wouldn't have used him unless Najee got hurt.

        For better or worse (I think worse), that's just how we run the team.

          I stated this the moment Pgh drafted Conner: His style would lead to injuries in the NFL, too often.

            I agree on Decastro. He would be our best offensive lineman this year...by a wide margin.
