Another Steeler facing suspension for the opener.

If any of his teammates were generally aware of his PED use, they should get a 4 game suspension as well

And the Steelers team should get fined $1MM and forfeit over a 1st and 4th round draft picks.

Who would be shocked if this suspension is reduced to zero or delayed.......eh. BYW Remember that when you get suspended for 4 games, means that you have been caught at LEAST twice and probably 3 times.

This was my first thought. The league will delay the suspension so he play in game 1.

Not kidding myself, just putting up numbers. People get used to watching the redzone and espn highlights and don't see the other plays where a runningback gets 1 yard, or 2 yards. YPC is probably as good as most means of judging a running back's effectiveness. If you have a better one than show it.

Good choice not to include receiving stats if you want to suggest those 2 are in the same universe as RBs

Very fair, although, you also are comparing one running back that is the feature back of a team, vs a running back by committee team. It does make it tough to compare them. Bell is a much better receiver, and last year, anyways, had simmilar YPC than Blount has had. Blount is not called upon to receive and often is put in when the defense is expecting a run.

Whenever someone posts this kind of thing my eyes nearly roll out of my head.

hey, steelers used steroids in the 70s. they are a cheating violation. this is a repeat offense!! dock them first rounders!!

and suspend Ben roethlisberger!! he was generally aware that Martavious bryant had used illegal drugs!!

The opening night game may have as many starters playing as will play in the fourth preseason game at this point. Each team could have 5-6 starters out two weeks from tonight at this rate.

welcome to goodells NFL...integrity of the game!!! means we are going to have to watch alot of 2nd and 3rd stringers opening night if all suspensions stick....

Count me among those who want the Steelers at full strength week 1.

I was also so happy for my ex-wife when she won the lottery. And I really hope for the Colts to develop a defense with at least half a testicle so that the games are more competitive.

F the Steelers
