Run game not primary focal point for Steelers

[polamalubeast]

If practice makes perfect, then the Steelers' running game is right where it wants to be.
That's because practice is almost all the Steelers have done when it comes to their maligned run game through four weeks of training camp.
That could change as early as Thursday.
A week after showcasing the no-huddle offense against the Bills, the Steelers' top unit has one more chance during Thursday's de facto final preseason game against the Eagles in Philadelphia to take a look at their revamped running game.
Or will they?
“I won't,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said when asked if he will focus on one aspect of the game this week.
But maybe they should.
The Steelers brought in bruising tailback LeGarrette Blount in the offseason to pair with Le'Veon Bell to kick-start a ground attack that finished near the bottom of the league the past two years, including a franchise -worst 86.4 yards per game last year.
However, through two preseason games, the Steelers are averaging only 20 attempts per game and 52.5 yards on the ground. Both rank 31st in the NFL.

The running game is still not effective. But, the first team has not run the ball much. Time will tell.

Not worried about the run game with our two RBs. Get OL in shape and the run game will happen. Get the run game going and the passing game opens up. All they need to do on O is find out who is #4 WR and what to do with Archer. Hopefully Miller is better.

As of right now it looks like we may need to use the passing game to open the running game up.

...and while Miller had pedestrian speed as a rookie, ten years later I would say he is a good bit slower.

I am concerned about the TE position top to bottom.

Yeah, well, can Archer carry the rock 30 times a game? Bell and Blount have their heads up their asses.

Someone get Stacey Mack on the phone.

Of course the run game is not the primary focal point. Cheech and Chong (Bell and Blount) are too busy fucking around with their primary smoking joint.

Cheech and chong, lol.....that's going to stick isn't it

Maybe the Steelers are finally accepting a.) They have a franchize QB, b.) they don't have Seattle's defense, and c.) they haven't exactly been successful fighting the trend the NFL has taken towards favoring passing offense.

We have Twin Cams on the DL and Running Blunts carrying the ball.

Unless they are running around the block to score a bag of weed, we better throw the ball to AB and Heath.
