I hope that conditional pick was dependent on being on the roster for week one!

Oooops. Our practice squad is full right now - no room.shmessy said:Get him NOW on our PS.
Actually Miami might want him, as pitiful as their running game looked last night....maverick4 said:We need to get him back before the Colts make him their starter over Addai.

They may be trying early on, if it doesn't cost them a game, to try to establish that teams need to at least respect him running inside. If they can do that, it will keep defenses from playing him only for outside runs. While the Steelers have had tandem backs in the past, they were pretty much specialized and defenses could be set depending on which back was in.Pat_Nasty said:Willie Parker is *not* a feature back. Yes, he'll start finding holes and getting some nice gains later in the game when the D-line is worn out, but he gets stuffed at the line or tackled for loss FAR too often early one.
Last season, I believe he had the highest differential in yards per game vs. above average and below average defenses. When the Pitt oline can manhandle the opposing front 7, he'll rip off big gains. When they can't, he is NOT the kind of back that Pitt needs, who can plow into the line and pick up tought yards and move the chains.

I can't see Parker holding up over the course of the season if they are going to run him between the tackles 10-15 time a game. Hell, he didn't really hold up last year when he wasn't even coming close to that. People have been saying that they would like to see how Roth will do when winning or losing is on his shoulders. Well, I think we're all going to find out this year.

braveht said:I don't think this is a waiver situation. He can sign with whoever he wants.
Ronnie's one of the best young RB out there - he may get beaten up before his time behind that line though.patsox23 said:What's ailing Miami's running game AIN'T the RB. It's the OL. Ronnie Brown did the best he could with nowhere to run last night.
