| LATROBE - Many running backs might have viewed the Steelers re-signing of Mewelde Moore as a threat to their job security. Not Baron Batch. The Texas Tech rookie, already an early camp fan favorite, said he merely sees it as another veteran to learn from. Batch may need all of the football education he can get, as the Steelers possess a crowded backfield that lacks definition behind starter Rashard Mendenhall. With no minicamps or OTA sessions in the offseason, the Steelers staff didn't have the usual opportunity to evaluate backs prior to camp. Recently re-signed third-down back Mewelde Moore and short-yardage back Isaac Redman appear to be firmly entrenched behind Mendenhall, but the door is open for an eclectic mix of younger backs in camp to make a move. http://www.timesonline.com/sports/local_sports/steelers-sorting-out-crowded-backfield/article_1bcd3926-41ef-5b63-b9e7-120fcea78966.html --------------------------------------- I'm sorry ... where's our need for Tiki?   _________________  If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart.

| From what I am hearing in camp JD might be the odd man out.  | |

You don't want him to end up as the greatest running back of all time? - blastfurness wrote:

Yeah, the talk about Dwyer hasn't been good. _________________ If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |

| Good problem to have. I hope Batch lives up to the buzz and makes the team. I would have been fine with Memo being let go. _________________  -"I stand corrected... But I absolutely and wholeheartedly fart in the general direction of almost every other thing you have posted to this point."- | |

I'm going on record ... I'm not a fan of Moore. I have a hard time believing that one of the rookies (or younger guys) can't give us everything that Moore can. _________________ If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |
