        Here we go with the Steelers...Staley...a fucking bust thusfar...down and out...

        looks like Parker and Bettis are going to be sharing time if this turns into a serious injury...

        which I'd bet on...

          Doesn't look like anything serious.....

          But you're right, it'd be nice to have him for a full season....

            Well...it doesn't look serious...

            but they said the same thing about the hammy last year...

            I'd say this too...there was fluid on the knee...

            which generally means surgery at some point...

            I would love to have BOTH of the backs fresh during post season...

              Yeah, but at the same time they have a good insurance policy in Parker....

              Also sounds like the WR corps is looking really well, waiting for Hines to show up....

              Looking like Cedrick Wilson is meshing with Ben pretty well...

              And I think Zamir Cobb will make the team this year, assuming he doesn't break his leg again....

                Yeah Va...check out the rumor mill thread...I've been rollin' with this topic there as well...

                I know you are high on Cobb...but I just don't see this receiving corp the same way you do.

                Cedrick Wilson...IMO...isn't going to be the guy they want him to be...and without WARD...this could be their worst receiving corp since the post Lipps era...

                  and as much as I like Parker...he still has to prove it over a longer period than 2 carries here...and 2 carries there...

                    Oh, I agree with you on Wilson, if Hines isn't in there, it changes the whole shebang...

                    As far as Parker goes, he looked damn good vs. the 1st string of the Bills in game 16 last year....

                      Yeah...I won't disagree with you on how Parker looked in 1 game...against a team that quite honestly...laid an egg...

                      I think Parker is a real deal...but right now...if Pittsburgh were to put all its eggs in Willie Parker's basket...

                      you and I would both be shitting our pants...

                        Staley to undergo tests on sore knee

                        LATROBE, Pa. (AP) - The Pittsburgh Steelers' two-man running back rotation was missing both of its main components in practice Saturday, and Duce Staley's sore right knee is becoming a concern.

                        Staley missed most of the second half of last season with a sore right hamstring - allowing Jerome Bettis to nearly get another 1,000-yard season - and he has sat out all but one full day of training camp contact work because of the aching knee.
                        After insisting for several days that the injury wasn't a worry, coach Bill Cowher said Staley will undergo an MRI test Sunday to make sure there's nothing wrong.

                        "We'll kind of go from there, see where he's at," Cowher said. "He still doesn't feel real comfortable."

                        Staley needed fluid drained off the knee after just one day of practice, a condition that sometimes can indicate a problem that requires arthroscopic surgery. With the regular season more than a month away, Staley has enough time to have an operation and still be ready for the Sept. 11 opener against Tennessee.

                        "We're going to be very proactive, make sure if there's any problems to get them taken care of now because we want him ready to go for the first game," Cowher said.

                        Bettis, who finished up last season with a minor quadriceps tear, also sat out Saturday, mostly just so he would have two days off in a row before a full week of camp.

                        Staley took part in some light running, but skipped the goal-line drill Cowher traditionally uses to wrap up the first week of camp.

                          personally...I'd keep Bettis in the short yardage situations...

                          and work Parker and Haynes in the Staley role...

                          but that's probably why I'm not paid to coach...lmfao...

                            I'd only change that a little...

                            Haynes is more of a 3rd down back...

                            I think Parker could handle more of the load...

                            Not all of the load, but more of it...

                              Parker just has that feel of a Joe Morris to me...with more speed...

                              And I agree...you could bring in Haynes as the 3rd down back...bigger...better receiver...and Parker wouldn't get worn down...

                              He's 210...5'10"

                              I think he may be more durable than we think...

                                Then bring in the bus on short yardage and goalline situations...
