A View from A Far...

Re: A View from A Far...

Or you could say the problem is Willie followed Bettis, and the Steelers never adjusted their playbook from having a 275lb back to having a 205lb back.

Other than getting rid of a fullback.


You bring up a good point. Willie (and mendy) have different strenghts/style than Bettis. I am greatly surprised that we don't have more designed to go to the outside.....

I agree, when I play Madden, all my plays for Parker are stretch runs or pitches to the os.

I liked the sprint draw plays we were running in the preseason.

I did too ... the right side of the line actually seems to open some holes on that play. Probably why Arians doesn't run it.
