Garbage time at the end, he was down for a while...

You better believe Arians will be back next year...

Ben loves him, but then again Ben also loved BJ's in bathrooms and we saw where that got him!

Fast Willie would come back in a heart beat.

Fast Willie would definitely come back in a heart beat. To be honest I'm somewhat surprised that nobody at least gave him a serious look. I know he's not what he used to be and his speed is no longer there but he'd be a warm body to dress in a pinch that has experience.

That being said he wouldn't last 2 seconds behind our offensive line.

This in from our friend Chuck Finder at CBS Sports

The Steelers have yet to make a formal roster move, but practice-squad RB John Clay already prepared as if he could replace third-down back Mewelde Moore, who’s doubtful with an MCL sprain. “We had a little test,” Clay said of a Wednesday morning session. “I took the reps in the walk-through.”

Not a big deal, dress Clay and wipe your a$$ with the Rams and the Browns.

Using Clay in a 3rd down role is like putting a lesser Isaac Redman out there. He doesn't exactly fit the mold of a 3rd down back and honestly do you trust him in blitz pickup like you would Moore or even Redman or Mendenhall?

Redman had a bad game on Monday night in blitz pickup but he's usually pretty solid in that role. I with they'd use Redman more on 3rd downs; the dude can catch and has a knack for finding the sticks.
