Steelers officially send Le'Veon Bell to I.R.

I just go the notification from the "source that should not be mentioned here " Not what I wanted to hear today

What went wrong? I know he tore his ACL and sat out all of 2014, but...

Drafted in the second round of the 2012 Draft, Pead rushed for 3,288 yards with 27 touchdowns while averaging 6.0 yards per carry in four seasons at Cincinnati. He rushed for 1,259 yards with 12 touchdowns while catching 39 passes for 319 yards with three scores. A native of Columbus, Ohio

Trying to figure out the Pead signing. I understand midway through the season you're picking off the scrap heap regardless, but RB is one of those positions where it's not unthinkable that you could find some talent looking for work. This kid has accomplished nothing in the league
 
Oh 2015 offense... We hardly knew ye

Wasn't the reason you and others gave for the rats loss in the playoffs was that Bell wasn't there? What's changed, other than losing Beachum and Pouncey and having a hurt Ben?

Williams is a much better player than Tate or Harris.

A decent backup running back in Williams compared to a few scrubs?

Who did we have to replace Bell during the game? Some guy we signed off the street four days prior and Josh Harris?

I sort of agree, but the truth of the playoff loss wasn't that Bell went down the week before, it was that we didn't have a good enough backup to take his spot after Blount got himself kicked from the team.

Hey man, nobody wants to see them succeed more than I do. I'm just stating it as a fact that our 2015 offense has never been together, hence "we hardly knew ye". Even if they put up 40ppg from here on out, we will still have not had the pleasure of seeing them operating at full strength health-wise

And we still don't have Pouncey or Beachum and Ben is still hurt. They scored 10 points at HOME yesterday with Bell and Ben. I know Ben is going to play better but losing Bell, Beachum and Pouncey hurts the offense. They weren't scoring 30 a game WITH them.
 
Hard to score 30 points a game when your QB is missing for half of your games and rusty upon his return.

I still think there is potential to be a damn good O, if there isn't anymore significant injuries...

Maybe Cincinnati Defense had something to do with that yesterday.
 
He's a back up to Williams and will battle Todman for snaps. At least, I hope they give Todman a chance. With him must coming in, I would think Todman will be the backup this weekend and get a few snaps to spell Williams. If he shows something, he should stay as the backup to Williams.
 
Heartbreaking for Bell. I hope the kid can return to his extraordinary form.
