Blount drops the hammer

[stillers4me]

The Steelers have gained speed on both sides of the ball, but Pittsburgh hasn't abandoned its quest to blast people with the run.

In an AFC North flush with talented young backs, Pittsburgh's stable of horses offers something for everyone: A long-term anchor in "Making the Leap" candidate Le'Veon Bell, a tantalizing X factor in rookie Dri Archer, and a hammer-dropping change-of-pace runner in LeGarrette Blount.

Best backfield on paper since Bettis/FWP. The big question is will it be mentioned in the same breath as Harris/Blier?

The answer to that may rest on Munchak's shoulders.

Funny thing though, watching those highlights, it was pretty much all blocking. Blount had a good eye for the hole on one run, and put on some speed in another, but honestly, I think any RB we had over the last couple of years would've done just as well in those clips.

What are the odds of having two 1,000-yd RBs in the same backfield?
