I thought you guys didnt listen or hold the media in high regard? Oh I get it, only when it pertains to your argument. One thing one must note. These guys DONT watch every steeler game AND the Houston Texans back then didnt have a Pro Bowl 1000 yard rusher. Kind of an oxy moron to have a 1000 yard rusher and say you have a horrible line. A Little perspective.

actually, there are a lot of running backs these days with well over 1,000 yards that don't have good o-lines. 1,000 yards ain't what it used to be.

Your correct 1000 yards AINT what it used to be and Willie didnt get 1000 yards he got 1400 and 1300 And that sir is not done with a HORRIBLE O-Line. As I said Google "Ben Roethlisberger holds on to the ball too long" and see how many OTHERS share the same view as I do.

Yeah, but that was last year when we still had Faneca. Uh-huh.

Fanaca is WAY past his prime. The Jags/Ravens were consistently crushing him. And the guy tried to creat anarchy within the line when he didnt get his contract, REAL TEAM PLAYER. Lastly, whats he doing for the Jets? Getting beat and missing assignments. Same guy

Steelers dont suck, sorry. How does a line suck and have a 1300 and 1400 hundred yard rusher?

1st obvious reply is that I am unaware of many QBs getting sacked handing off the ball to a RB.
So your arguement there is stupid expecially since you made the statement twice.

2nd obvious one is that it does not require a lot of time to hand off and therefore the O-line is not required to do much in the way of protecting the QB, in fact, on many running plays it is preferred to allow some to penetrate to a certain degree.


3rd obvious problem is that the Steelers don't suck but, the O-Line, The O.C., The Line Coach all suck and the Head Coach is not much better.

And to counter your obvious statement just because last year we had a RB with 1200+ yards does not mean (and we won't) i will happen again this year. They are better at run blocking than pass protection.

How does Ben have that high passer rating if Line sux?
