Wow....where to start?
1) On pass plays....you think its Miller...the tight end...who is helping with the majority of the blocks? Thats probably not worth commenting on...but here goes. Millers numbers are NOT down because he is a blocking on passing downs....but rather because BEN'S numbers are down since Gilbert was injured. Before the injury Ben averaged 297.4 yards a game..and after the injury it has dropped to 238.4 yards a game. Miller is not blocking on the majority of pass plays...HE IS GOING OUT TO CATCH PASSES.
2) The facts are that Baron is brought in on specific pass plays to help block speed rushers that the tackles are having problems with. He has been recognized as a a great blocker since his first training camp. Furthermore, To say that he is a "fifth stringer" shows a lack of understanding about pro backfields. A third down back is a specialized position...and to call a third down back a "fifth stringer is pretty simplistic. Besides...on the official steelers depth chart list, he is listed above Rainey. He has more touches than Rainey. He has played more special teams plays than Rainey.
3) Baron was sent to the practice squad for OBVIOUS reasons. The coaches are not very concerned with the Browns #23 ranked defense, which has not produced a legitimate pass rush all season. Also take into consideration that we are starting Charlie Batch, and we will put more emphasis on the run. All this points towards our being able to afford to sit Baron out this game.
The reason so many members get upset with your posts...is because of what you are doing right now. Being condescending ...without legitimate facts. I appreciate a good debate....but please dont just throw up baseless and factless comments and expect us to believe you are enlightened to something that the rest of us "dont get".
