    Ryan Moats anyone ?

    I wouldnt mind having him on the team at all. He would give us good depth at RB.

    Sure, why not? Good depth never hurts.

    If Mewelde werent here id scream yes. Even with Mewelde, he's an interesting guy to look at i think, but i dont think we'll carry 4 pure RB's, and if Moats made the team, then Moore probably wont, and that takes away a little bit from the offense.

    Those Maurice Jones Drew / Ray Rice built guys give us fits. Very tempting. But he isn't good enough to knock out any of our top 3 backs.

    IF we didnt have Moore or IF we didnt draft Dwyer...i'd say yes...but right now it would be tough to make the team with Mendy, Moore, Dwyer, then maybe Redman? Not sure?! Maybe he could beat out Redman...though Redman would still have the upperhand. So yeah...i dont see it happening....

    Its kind of like the article says...in Houston he has Steve Slaton, Arian Foster, Chris Henry and Ben Tate to compete with....almost identical situation here...with just different players.

    To give Dwyer a little push, heck why not

    He should go to a team with poor runningback depth though. like the redskins, really, they have enough over the hill backs, give them a young guy that can be an asset.

    I think we have enough quality backs to pick from.

    No there are too many teams in the league that need RB depth and the Steeler's are NOT one of them. I'd say maybe if we didn't pick up Dwyer , and I still like Moore in our line up and so does the Steelers and he is productive enough for his role.

    That's still a lot of RB's for them....Larry Johnson, Willie Parker, Clinton Portis, and now Ryan Moats. Not a lot of teams carry 4 RB's

    Didn't Brian Westbrook also sign with the Foreskins?

    I say bring him in and sign him up just for insurance. Injuries happen, better to be safe than sorry and find yourself scrambling to sign somebody if somebody goes down. Use him as training camp fodder and keep the returning guys fresh for the regular season.
