    And also 5th in total offense.

    Trivia: When was the last time (Season and week) we were leading the League in Rushing Yards?

    Idk the answer to the trivia question without cheating haha but it sure is great to see the offense moving the way it is. We have a great QB, and a top 5 WR and RB. Not many teams can say that. Bell has made the difference IMO. He has taken this unit over the top. Blount is no slouch either haha hopefully we continue on our current trend, and play some good ball the rest of the season and into the playoffs

    Without cheating, I think it was in 08 or whatever year when we played the Rams in STL, Willie Parker was the leagues leading rusher until he broke his leg in that game, Mendenhal never led anything

    As far as the answer goes, I'm going to say sometime in the 2004 season, or maybe after week 1 in 2005

    I'd guess either sometime in 2006 with FWP or in 2004 with The Bus.

    The best part of the offense is we have two backs that are willing to get the 3 hard yards but also have the ability to get significant chunk yardage from the ground game. Add the fact Ben gets rid of it as quick as possible he should be able to keep his jersey pretty clean most games. If this balance continues I think we will see more explosive plays down field set up by that balance. If all our weapons stay healthy and the line continues to improve this offense is going to be very difficult to stop.

    Gonna line him up on the sideline, a`la "Manziel"... ???
    :roflmao:Just kidding... I know that`s illeagal...
    But they didn`t!
    Nor did the ref`s!
    Even tho Pettine brought it up in a "closed door" meeting with the ref`s prior to the game!!!! :read:
    :rules:...
    Honestly, I agree with you Mac...
    Speed kills...
    Esp, after you punch `em in the mouth all game long...:butcher:
    Then, throw slants, screens, play-actions, whatever, to get the speedster in space...

    GO STEELERS!!!
