One day, you're running left, running right, running up the middle and struggling to find yards against the Elizabeth City State team. The next day, you're catching a pass over the middle, roaring through the secondary, bulling through defenders and breaking the hearts of the great Ray Lewis and his Baltimore Ravens teammates. Can you blame Steelers running back Isaac Redman if he feels as if he's living the dream?
"To go from being undrafted to making the big play in the big game ... "

For a moment, Redman was almost speechless. This was after the Steelers' 13-10 victory Sunday night against the Ravens in Baltimore. It was a win that put them in control of the AFC North Division race at the NFL season's three-quarter pole. It also was a win that probably wouldn't have happened without him.

So what if the Steelers sent in the wrong personnel package on their winning play?

Running back Mewelde Moore was supposed to be split to quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's left, not Redman. "I thought I was in there to stay in the backfield for blitz pick-up," Redman said. "By the time the coaches realized I was out there, it was too late to change the play or call timeout. I'm just glad they had faith in me to do the job."

Do the job?
Redman did better than that...........
