Steelers film session: No crowd in backfield

[stillers4me]

Those who were clamoring for a backfield of both Le'Veon Bell and DeAngelo Williams on Sunday were in for a letdown.
You could say they were left feeling empty.



Not only did the Steelers just twice use “pony” personnel of running backs Bell (the AFC's rushing leader in 2014) and Williams (the AFC's leading rusher in 2015 heading into Sunday) on the field at the same time, they hardly used Williams at all. He played just three non-kneeldown snaps.


The throwback-style idea of Williams and Bell lining up behind quarterback Ben Roethlisberger never was going to happen. If it happened at all, it was going to feature one (likely, Bell) lined up out wide.


The Steelers took it a step further, though — often not putting either of them in the backfield...........

Throw the wishbone out there...lol.

My guess is they have not practiced enough plays. It is a rare occurrence that a team has two available #1 RBs on its roster at the same time. Put them both in and place Brown and DHB on the outside wide. Let them run a track meet and if Vick needs to go to the check down so be it.

Shit...check down...just have Vick run...lol. Just secure the ball!!!!!!

Line up Bell wide and DeAngelo in the backfield even just a few plays. Brown, Heath, Wheaton, DHB, Bell are a lot of receivers to cover.
