Lean on the Run
Big Ben is having a good season, but age has started to set in a bit. He’ll make a clutch throw and there’s nobody I’d rather have run a 2 minute drill but I don’t think we can expect yards like the past couple seasons anymore. Doesn’t mean he’s still not one of the best in the league. That said, Le’Veon Bell is Le’Veon Bell. He’s young. He’s got plenty of gas in the tank. Burn it.
Le’Veon Bell has put together an MVP level season. He’s got 1,057 rushing yards and 502 receiving. With the Steelers offensive line being as good as it is, this is an easy piece of advice. But as obvious as this is, it needs to be said. Todd Haley is a great offensive coordinator. However, sometimes he’s too clever for his own good and outsmarts himself. Just look at how often Pittsburgh passes on short yardage. Give Bell the ball.
