Steelers Facing A Running Back Controversey?

A running back controversy? The only controversy would be if Mike Tomlin starts someone other than Jonathan Dwyer at halfback Sunday against the New York Giants. Dwyer has emerged from a runner-by-committee situation as the clear starter after two consecutive 100-yard games, the first time a Steelers back has done that in four seasons. Dwyer, who left Sunday's game with what Tomlin called a "tight quad," has 299 yards rushing and is averaging 5.2 yards per carry. Isaac Redman has 127 yards and a 2.5-yard average; Rashard Mendenhall has 74 yards and a 3.9-yard average. "He's just hitting it, man,'' guard Willie Colon said. "He understands where he needs to be, he's reading the blocks, he's doing a great job and when he gets outside, he's keeping his feet alive and making plays. It feels good to kind of see him step forward, it kind of reminds you of 'The Bus' a little bit. I'm proud of him." Source: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Attached Thumbnails
