Default Re: Week 9 - RB decisions

With Ben out, Pitt will be relying on the running game much more heavily (unless you think the game plan this week is to have Batch airing it out).

Why can't you think about it like :

With Ben out, GB knows the Steelers are going to try and pound the ball, so GB will be putting 8-9 men in the box forcing Batch to throw.

Wouldn't that line of thinking lead you to shy away from Parker? If OP had some scrub to replace Parker I'd say play Parker but because he has Portis, I'd say stick with him.
