Cobbs, the Patriots' leading rusher during the preseason, won't begin practicing until Sept. 3. However, it seems likely he will be activated for games ahead of Staley because he also plays special teams.

"The kid had a very good preseason, watching him run the ball, catch it and cover kicks," Cowher said. "He was very impressive."

Cobbs had 2 Special Teams tackles.

Staley let himself go completely. Guess he's trying to do Bettis imitation by ballooning up to 275 but he doesn't have the quick feet. I wish they had cut Staley. Maybe he'll get back in shape by week 14.

Well, let's all hope Cobbs' big critics of the last few days are correct about Cobbs! You know who you are.

I didn't see the Giants game, so I can't say whether Cobbs got stacked up a few times because O'Callahan wasn't blocking well, or because Troy Brown was handing off the ball, or because he was just nervous. But, he had more YPC than Evans, and now he will run behind the Steelers O-line.

I sure hope he was way overrated at this point.
