man running backs are dropping like torn tickets at suffolk downs..

The Rashard Mendenhall fractured shoulder had to be the most predictable of the weekend. Don't text your buddy with the Ravens how you are going to run all over them and then expect to come out alive.

steelers down, literally, to the last man. mendenhall has a fractured shoulder, done for the year.

there's your solution as to who St Louis can trade Jackson to..... Pittsburgh needs a RB.

Would be a hell of a lot easier to just sign Shaun Alexander to fill in for a week or two before Willie Parker is back. I don't see Jackson going anywhere until the offseason when he'll inevitably holdout again.

Pittsburgh's offense has changed so much. We remember them for what they have been over the years and especially during their recent superbowl run. Its not just line play-its philosophy.

Shawn Alexander is a one dimensional back that lost his step. Pitt would be better off with mewelde moore.

Actually, they'd be better off with both.

he'd be a great steeler and fit perfectly. would also be a great change from wille but the steelers don't have anything to trade without hurting themselves.

Realistically they'll probably just activate Justin Vincent from the practice squad. If that was the plan though I'd have thought they'd have done it by now with the two players going on IR so that suggests they'll probably workout at least a few outside guys. Najeh Davenport still alive?

MaTH716 · #14 09-30-2008, 01:31 PM

I am not sure if he is suspended by the NFL for his boating mishap, but what about Cedric Benson?

dont bother!! trust me bears fan..

Mortimer · #16 09-30-2008, 03:02 PM

This is friggin' boring.

Name the only running back in nfl history to have averaged 5.3 yards in his first 500 carries and then switched to wide receiver and caught over 500 passes.

How ironic, Cedric Benson signs with the Bengals.

He was gonna be my next suggestion. Like you said...they just need someone for a couple weeks.

I'm pretty sure they either signed him or will go on to do so. Seems like the obvious choice until Fast Willie becomes healthy enough to attempt to rush behind that O line.
