A quote from the Post-Gazette yesterday from Willie Colon:
“(Willie Parker) told us he wasn’t as sharp as he could have been the other night. We told him it wasn’t just him and it wasn’t just us. It was all of us. If we all put our hands in the pile, we’ll get the job done [...]

The Steelers have been taking a beating from fans for their running game recently, and a former player is now speaking out. That player is future Hall of Fame back Jerome Bettis, who took a shot at Willie Parker and the O-line:
Jerome Bettis was one of the most physical and hardest hitting running [...]

No, not him. The guy on the right. Apparently the brain-trusts in Chicago waited till yesterday to replace the grass at Soldier Field - where the Steelers just happen to play this Sunday. The reason - U2 jammed out there on Sunday night. So, if Willie Parker slips and breaks an ankle, or James Farrior twists a knee on some loose turf, BLAME BONO! Metallica, Black Album > Joshua...

Not much going on this Wednesday, but SI has got former Steeler great Jerome Bettis "writing" a column for them and it's not pretty as far as Steeler related stuff goes.
Bettis provides an insider's prespective to the NFl through six points in his column this week.
Two of the six items are problems he has with the Steelers.

In the wake of the Steelers backfield's dismal performance last Thursday, some seem to want to call time of death on the team's running game. And frankly, that's fair. 23 rushes for 36 yards (a 1.6 yard per carry average) is pathetic by any measure. But there's a larger issue at play than just the RBs ability to move the ball for positive yardage. In fact, it'...

How dominant was Adrian Peterson on Sunday? Let's put it this way: In standard scoring leagues, you could have started all four of the running backs that typically followed him in the first round of your fantasy draft -- Michael Turner, Maurice Jones-Drew, Matt Forte and Steven Jackson -- and thrown in Willie Parker for good measure, and Peterson would still be kicking your butt.
