I could point out that Haley's RB "rotation" in 2012 was due to a combination of injury and the well known fact that Dwyer was too fat to stay on the field for more than 2-3 plays at a time.
I could point out that the Steelers most effective strict "3rd down back" was Melwede Moore. I could point out that Bell does everything that Moore did well, only about three times as well. I could use that to prop up an argument that any offensive scheme where Bell isn't a 3 down back is kinda goofy and is exactly the type of over substitution and over thinking that you have been railing against.
I could also point out that Haley's use of jumbo sets and whatever else you were yelling about stabilized and went down a bit once Wheaton and Bryant (essentially both rookie players) were able to participate in enough of the offensive packages that the presence of the Spaeths, and Will Johnsons of the world were not as necessary. I could also point out that the games Matt Spaeth participated in, the running game was more effective because Spaeth 2.0 is a really good in-line blocking tight end.
But, you know, what, I won't. There is no point.
I surrender. Todd Haley sucks ass. He is just getting the benefit of the doubt because he is from Pittsburgh. The Steelers would be better off hiring you and your well honed offensive play calling skils. I bet you just kill it at Madden. Even on the hardest setting.
