Tomlin's folly. Give me Blount vs the Ravens and the Steeler have a much better game plan to run it, use play action, and such. I wish Tomlin suspended Blount for one game, and kept him as insurance. As it was we had no plan B when Bell went down.
This is rubbish. How did Blount fare against the Ravens when he played them in the playoffs? 3 carries for 1 yard. ****, Bell only ran for 20 yards on 10 carries against the Ravens at Heinz in November. We missed Bell in the Ravens game for what he brings to the passing game. Blount would not have made any difference whatsoever.

Al,
The Ravens vs the Patriots in the playoffs was a passing game. New England down points early. When were they going to run Blount? New England only handed the ball off 7 times in the entire game. You can't judge Blount here.
In the game after Blount was the best player in the AFC championship game. 148 yards on the ground and three touch downs. In the super bowl, Blount had 40 yards to lead his team in rushing vs. a tough Seahawks defense. Clearly he had value.
My point is if we had Blount we had a capable back who knows our offense vs the Ravens in the playoffs. As it was Tomlin had no plan B. We picked up a guy off the street, and had no running game to speak of vs the Ravens.
Having no plan B is Tomlin's fault. He should have picked up a guy much earlier than he did.
