    Let's hope Toussaint doesn't have to play, and DWill will be able to go.

    Give him some cortisone, throw some heavy tape on it and suit him up. It's go time.

    Toussaint might do well. He wasn't great yesterday but Williams had 8 yards on 5 carries before his injury and 17 carries for 54 yards back in November. For some reason we can't seem to open running holes against the Browns. The last two times the Steelers had a 100 yard rusher against the Browns was Bell last season and Willie Parker in 2008.

    I was hoping to see some outside runs/tosses for Toussaint to see if that was more his speed, or at least to change things up. He almost looks more like a speed guy, but really haven't looked into him at all.

    Yeah they stack the box and for some reason Haley can't beat it

    Inexplicable since Cleveland ranks 3rd from last in rushing yards given up per game. (128.4)

    whats even more baffling is that with all that beef down along the LOS you'd think it would open up passing lanes but they weren't so open yesterday although that was deceiving since there were open guys that Ben chose not to throw to

    He "could". I'm very suspicious it was the play calling or blocking that's more in question. Most run plays have been directly into a pile of defenders, no lanes open what-so-ever.
