    before last weeks rushing extravaganza, will j. had only been on the field for a handful of snaps. was he part of the reason our run game took off last week? he had a lot more field time in that game. will we see more from him going forward do you think? :cool:

    Think it was him and the way Wallace run blocks. The whole line looked more comfortable with the inside zone last week.

    Last week they ran the BIG package with Blount and Will Johnson together. I think it was a great change of pace

    Was he even on the field when Bell was in the game?

    I can't recall but I think a lot of Leveon's runs were out of the shotgun??

    I didn't fact check this but I read the Steelers went big last week, Will J, Spaeth and JB. I don't know how many snaps they all saw but the article was suggesting they were out there for their blocking. The author also feels that's why JB is still playing over Moore.

    I think you meant JB over L. Moore but yeah I did notice Spaeth out there quite a bit and if they even thought about throwing to him in the red zone it would totally catch the D off guard.As far as Will J I am a big fan of his talent and athleticism. I know we have quite a few weapons especially with Archer back this week but I can't help thinking getting him just a little more involved would pay big dividends.

    A old saying that always rings true.....Anytime you see a long run you will see some good blocking or some good holding .....Our WR's are blocking at a very high level as individuals and as a group , not sure Moore can get many snaps because of that .
