For the first time in a while, DeAngelo Williams (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/423714/deangelo-williams) is entering a season knowing full well that he isn't going to be starting. He's no stranger to the idea of splitting carries -- he often did so in Carolina with Jonathan Stewart (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/565654/jonathan-stewart) -- but in Pittsburgh, there's no doubting who will be the feature back.
That's a role that belongs to Le'Veon Bell (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/1751828/leveon-bell). But with Bell suspended for the first three games of the season, Williams is going to play a much larger role for the Steelers (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/page/PIT/pittsburgh-steelers) in his absence.
Apparently Williams wants reporters to know that he'll be just fine filling in for Bell. He also apparently wants members of the media to know that he's fine with being a backup. When Williams was asked on Tuesday about filling in for Bell, he ended up embarking upon a rant that lasted a full minute........

Maybe what they really wanted to know is if he doesn't get to play, is he going to pack up his toys and run home crying.
