Mewelde Moore chuckled when asked to describe his role with the Steelers. "Today, I'm a third-down back, tomorrow a starter. Three days later, I'm a kick returner. Whatever I'm asked to do, that's what I am,'' Moore said. Early in the week, Moore was the starting running back at practice when Rashard Mendenall couldn't practice after having his toe stepped on and rookie Jonathan Dwyer was sidelined with a pulled hamstring. Moore is whatever the Steelers need him to be. With the status of the ground game uncertain behind Mendenhall, Moore is the only other proven veteran running back on the roster. "We knew when we signed him two years ago, he was a versatile player who could fit into a lot of different roles, and he hasn't disappointed,'' running backs coach Kirby Wilson said. "He's a guy who's always there whenever you need him. That's been his style since he's been here, and we hope that he continues to shine.'' In 2008, Moore filled in for Willie Parker and rushed for 99 and 120 yards and scored two touchdowns in consecutive wins against Jacksonville and Cincinnati.
