What do the Steelers Need?

Obviously the loss to Cinci' has eliminated Pittsburgh from the "dance".  However, it was really disheartening to see probably the most consistent and reliable offensive player on the team go down on Sunday: Heath Miller.  I want to say that Miller should be the MVP of the team this year and if some other player wins it, I "demand" an explanation as to "why"!


Again, this offense turns the ball over and is just plain ineffective in running the ball.  Ben likes to carry the load but is really "NOT" the type of quarterback whom can do the same as a Brady or Manning.  However, you can win Super Bowls with Rothlisberger; there's a difference and "Ben" needs to realize this as well.  

It is imperative this coaching staff get a "real pair" of running backs.  Yes, you need two.  Mendenhall has the most talent out of the present group, but that ain't sayin' a lot!  He can stay as a back up or seek greener pastures.  Redman needs to go back on special teams.  

Tomlin really needs to stop thinking reserve players can play as well as starters and make corresponding adjustments sooner.  Our player screening process also seems to be failing!  I hope all the players have a great off season and get healthy for next year.  I really hope we can draft Monte Ball out of Wisconsin.  Jonathan Frankly at UCLA is the most talented RB in college but seems to have this problem with hanging on to the ball!  Do we dare take a risk?
