Le'Veon Bell is no small running back, not by any measure. At 6 feet 1 and a lean-muscled 230 pounds, he is a combination of surprising power and deceptive speed.

But even Bell, who enters his second season as the focal point of the Steelers offense, admits he looks small compared to the newest member of the backfield -- LeGarrette Blount.

"He's a big guy, and he can roll, too," Bell said. "It's going to be good having him in the backfield."

Make no mistake, Blount is big and thick. At 6 feet, 250 pounds, he is the Steelers' biggest and most powerful back since Jerome Bettis, only faster. What's more, he plays with a similar attitude -- one of the reasons the Steelers signed him in free agency to serve as a backup to Bell.........

Damn have we changed the RB depth on this team in just 2 years. I love the addition of Blount to the team.

Blount is the most proven back in our stable right now.

All comes down to the O Line. If they stay together and gel, we could have something special this year. If injuries and absent mindedness come back, well, 8-8 here we stay.

Would also be nice to see some games where Ben doesn't get his jersey dirty.
