Title: Steelers - Back on the Bus!

Yup! Bettis to start; Amos to revert back to his old role. That's what the news coming out of "the Gridiron Newsstand" indicates...

So, how yous think the Bus does this week now that he's back in the starting saddle? I actually think fantasy-wise he's gonna' have at least a decent game: minimum, 50 yards and a touchdown. [smiley=shrug.gif]

When guys come to my house to watch football its a b.y.o.b. When the Steelers ask the bus to carry the running game it better be a b.y.o.t. (Bring your own tackle.) The Steeler offensive line is in really bad shape. In fact it dwarfs the problems of the Giants. This is a ploy of Cowers to get the Rams to bring the rush from the inside. Bettis runs between the tackles where zerry tries to get outside. Keeping the rush inside is an easier protection for pass blocking. It will be tough for Bettis to carry the ball as much as he did in his earlier days. Perticularly if he has to pound it in there without the hole generated by a good o line. As a Steeler fan, the positive is that Bettis is a better pass blocking back than zerry.

Bettis 18 carrys
68 yrds rushing
1 TD
