Run defense finally looking like it should

I just hope they keep it together for the Jacksonville game. Total trap game and we have fallen into some traps lately.

What traps? We lost to the Texans and Ravens. Neither of those were trap games.

They get yet another HUGE test this week. The Jags offense revolves around MJD. Stop him and you stop the Jags. If you don't stop in you're going to keep the Jags in the game late and that's a recipe for disaster. He's been a Steeler killer over the years.

The amount of good backs that this team has faced so far this year is pretty impressive. Once the bye hits things calm down some but they still will have guys like Hillis, Benson, and Gore to deal with. I'm not real worried about Benson or Hillis too much but Gore is a beast.

Gore is a beast but its just a matter of time before he is hurt once again...lol

Don't forget about the Patriots running game, that dude Ben Jarvis Green Purple Orange Blue Ellis dude has been running like a beast. The Pats have really been concentrating on the run game these last couple weeks. I don't even want to think about that game yet, LOL.

The Law Firm is no joke at RB...He has been damn good so far and had a nice year last year.....Woodhead is solid as well....The Pats have two rookie RB's as well.....

Interestingly, the last time the Steelers played the Jags, I think MJD had something like 8 yds rushing total in the game. However in the past as we all know he's more than capable of shredding a defense.

I'm still not convinced the Bengals running game with Cedric Benson is anything to be worried about either this season.

The Law Firm is no joke, BUT i think he is the type of runner the steelers can stop. The NE running back i would be worried about is that quick nibble never goes down lil guy named Danny Woodhead. He can cause the most damage on the ground to the steelers cause he is quick and small, an idea i believe as to why ray rice seems to have success against the black and gold. Come NE game tho, our DB's need to be ready to play, and we gotta hit brady bunch and make him uncomfortable in the pocket.
