RB - I wonder if Leach is a potential cut. This isn't a run-first team anymore and I'm not sure how much he's going to get used going forward. I love watching him blow people up, but I think this offense's evolution has made him somewhat obsolete.If I understand you correctly you are saying a FB based offense wasn't winning the Super Bowl and it took putting the ball in the hands of your QB to win it all. Could you post this on the Steeler's board?

Yes, that's what I'm saying. The offense has evolved into a QB central scheme. Rice is still involved, but the days of just pounding the football up the gut are in the past I think. I think we could still carry a situational FB for some goal line packages, but gone are the days of the 2 back I-formation being the staple formation and Leach is getting paid like an every down FB.
