To Daylight
Steelers Remain Dependent on Running Game Despite
the presence of an ever-improving Ben Roethlisberger, the steady
development of No. 1-drafted pass-catching tight end Heath Miller,
and All-Pro wide receiver in Hines Ward, the Steelers will continue
to quench their thirst for offense in their deep pool of talented
running backs. By Jerry DiPaola.
Conclusion: Run well and win; run poorly and lose -- almost
all of the time. At least, that’s the way with the Steelers, who
seek balance, but must lean on their backs. Even their success in
the air is predicated by success on the ground.

over to a first-time head coach seemed bold to some, questionable
to others, and risky to most.
