We only have mewelde moore and gary russel left.

Gary Russell looks like the start AT JAX NEXT WEEK....YIKES.

[Global Warmer Profile]

Looks like we're gonna need another back.... Shaun Alexander anyone?

[Crosby4Life Profile Website]

Hate to say it, but we almost have to. The guy's a wuss though...

[SteelTreal Profile]

might as well throw Dennis Dixon back there so he can do some

[Steeledge Profile]

...isn't Dookie still out there somewhere

[Hi5Steeler Profile]

yea najeh davenport. remember his playoff start against jax last year?????? NO THANKS. mewelde is ten times better and we have gary russell.

if they go down lets just go no huddle all game. hell do that anyway. use dixon as an RB.

Umm...guys


Gary Russell was released about a week or so ago

All we have is Moore

[benstunner Profile]

russels i believe on the practice squad and will be activated once mendenhall is on IR.

so we will have russell and moore.

i guess they could sign a RB like davenport or shaun alexander (i doubt shaun though because he wants too much money and has been terrible the last couple of years anyways)

Plus, let's not forget that he ain't shit with no line to block for him.

At least Dookie has been known to make a hole for himself a time or two when he has to...

[thepixburghkid Profile]

nope


Gary Russell was RELEASED in ordernto make room for LB patrick bailey which they brought up from practice squad

[Hi5Steeler Profile]

GARY RUSSELL is on our practice squad. as of tomorrow he will be on the 53 man roster.

Steelers.com states that he was released and does NOT have him on the roster active or practice

[Hi5Steeler Profile]

that is the first that I have seen that article. never heard about it. my apologies

let me get u a beer

[El Nino Profile]

well, i hope willie is able to return sometime soon. i had faith in mendenhall to get the job done, but to lose him in his first start is bad news.

[Hi5Steeler Profile]

willie is out supposedly one more game. possibly two.

if no other injuries mewelde moore cando parkers job.


gary russell can be the goal line back. although hes only 215 pds.

[McLovin Profile]

The thought of Gary Russell getting significant playing makes me cringe. They cut him for a reason. Sign Ced Benson...maybe the guy learned his lesson after the Bears cut him for his off field troubles. I like him as the short yardage guy behind Parker and Moore.

Jim and Randy were saying on their radio show on WDVE this morning that while talking to Heath Miller last night after the game, Heath told them he offered to help out the running game.

help out as a rb??? or just a blocker?
