romecloneout · 10-19-12, 05:01 PM

any idea who will be starting?

dudekid · 10-19-12, 05:24 PM

i know, fukking killing me...luckily i got antonio brown...reports look like jonathan dwyer is going to start with a committee of baron batch and possibly chris rainey as well

Jrod124 · 10-19-12, 05:42 PM

Dwyer looks like the starter and Batch and Rainey on 3D. But they will prolly throw the football a ton. Antonio Brown would be a nice guy to have dudekid

Thought it was funny when people went crazy for Mendy after his performance a couple weeks ago. I doubt he'll ever be anything more than a low RB2 this year.

With the depth at RB this year, so owners will take that

I think they should enlist the services of Barry Sanders at running back. He used to play for the detroit lions, but he hasnt played the last few years so i believe he is available.

That Steelers running game is becoming a mess. While Mendenhall was away, they ran pretty poorly from everybody involved.

What JRod said. I was expecting Mendenhall to be a nice Bye week fill in (2 backs on a bye wk 7) or an option at the Flex, but now I have to start Mike Goodson.

can someone find a link to confirm? Is he just out for this one week? What's the extent of the injury?

Isn't like half their O-line injured as well? I'd stay far away from any Steeler RB.

Ol Big Ben might chuck it 40 times, play him this week!

Shortstop · 10-20-12, 01:36 AM

The Steelers have been plagued by key injuries all season and it doesn't seem to be getting any better...

will2survive · 10-20-12, 04:29 AM

hes a non-factor. I have no interest in this guy. inconsistent.

Jrod124 · 10-20-12, 08:05 AM

Big Ben is hurting from what I am reading. Its a Mash unit in Pittsburgh right now. I would be cautious about playing any Steelers now unless it was your only opinion.

Good point SS, it's only getting worse. At least the WR's are in tack...for now

Shortstop · 10-21-12, 11:06 PM

The Steelers didn't miss Mendenhall tonight!

It was great to see everyone step up and play their part in this very important win for Pittsburgh!

J. Dwyer	17	122	7.2	0	32
C. Rainey	4	17	4.3	1	11
A. Brown	2	13	6.5	0	13
M. Wallace	2	7	3.5	0	13
W. Johnson	1	5	5.0	0	5
B. Batch	2	4	2.0	0	2
B. Roethlisberger	1	-1	-1.0	0	0

This was a nice game to see. I said it was a mess, but Dwyer stepped up tonight. He didn't look like anything special in the early weeks, but maybe this is something to look forward to.
