Steelers rookie RB Chris Rainey rushed four times for 17 yards and a touchdown and caught an eight-yard pass in Sunday night’s Week 7 win over Cincinnati. Largely a gadget player in the Steelers’ offense, Rainey showed his explosiveness on a traditional carry up the gut in the fourth quarter. Rainey got a nice kick-out block from motioning TE Heath Miller and blasted up the middle of Cincinnati’s defense for an 11-yard touchdown. Rainey is a nice weapon for Steelers playcaller Todd Haley, and will continue to find ways to use him.Rainey is a track guy, as a junior in 2010, the Florida Gators men’s 4×100-meter relay team, including Rainey, Jeremy Hall, Terrell Wilks and Jeff Demps, won the NCAA championship in the event with a winning time of 39.04 seconds. Haley needs to find a way to get Rainey the ball more.

Ben Roethlisberger is in a no-win situation and while some of it may be of his own doing, the fact is that he just can’t win no matter what he does on the field anymore. If he gets the Steelers a lead in the second half and the team still loses, it’s his fault. If he puts up 31 points and the Steelers lose, it’s his fault. If he leads the team from behind and the Steelers still...
