    Mike Tomlin just said in his post game interview that running back Rashard Mendenhall and offensive guard Kendall Simmons will both be placed on Injured Reserve, 2 big losses to the Steelers offense.

    Discuss.

    The offensive line didn't look no better or no worse once Simmons went out so hopefully it doesn't hurt too much, Who took his place I didn't even notice?

    they really didn't miss a beat without either one of these guys. wonder who they will pick up to replace mendenahll though. cedric benson perhaps?

    We are going to have to get a body, Willie Parker supposed to be out another week , who knows whats going on with Carey Davis and Moore can't play every single play... so we need someone, I wouldn't be opposed to giving Benson or Shaun Alexander a shot if they come cheap

    Is tatum bell still a free agent?? :icon_eek: (Hide your bags!)

    yea i would favor benson over alxender he has less wear and the legs and is younger

    yea no one has picked up bell yet or what about davenport is he still out there?

    if so he already knows the system and would probably be the most logical choice

    I'm not exactly sure who replaced him...

    Well Russell is back...

    There are plenty of RB's out there on the FA market.

    I'd tak him back in a second!!!

    I'll take him back WARD, but I want Moore to start and Najeh to be the 3rd down back next week against the Jags I'd love to see if Moore can break a run, and I know he will make something happen catching it out of the backfield, run a few screens to him and such

    Yea it was Darnell Stapleton who replaced him, I figured it would be since he was behind him on the depth chart.. I believe he was on the practice squad last year

    Nvm he dressed all 16 games last season but never played.. Well I didn't see our offensive line get any worse with him in there so thats a relief.. even though its still hella bad

    and it was against an awesome ravens pass rush so that should provide some rays of hope for the game against the jags

    Doubt it, Jags are just going to study the video and follow the same blue print.. The Eagles created a monster.
