Steelers counting on RB Mendenhall to carry the load in 2010

There’s been so much talk about the Steelers running the ball more in 2010, and the big reason for that is what 2nd year back Rashard Mendenhall did last year, going over 1000 yards even though he wasn’t even the opening day starter.

Leftwich or Dixon – Tomlin with plenty of options in both

Mike Tomlin has declared that he will know his starting quarterback when training camp gets rolling in July, and all indications are Byron Leftwich will be the teams starter opening day against the Falcons at Heinz Field. The move leaves Dennis Dixon sitting on the sidelines, and it’s a move that will likely be well [...]
