December 30, 201411 yr What's hilarious to me is that the same guy who runs a blog called Steelersdepot was all over twitter yesterday railing on his followers (which he has in the margin of his site) about how ignorant they were for even thinking that was a possibility. It also confirms that Bell will be unavailable Saturday.
December 30, 201411 yr Author Good move by Pitt, in my opinion. I still think they'll start the kids from Wake Forest, Harris.
December 30, 201411 yr I still think they'll start the kids from Wake Forest, Harris. Probably so, but it doesn't hurt to bring in a vet like Tate.
December 30, 201411 yr Author Probably so, but it doesn't hurt to bring in a vet like Tate. Totally agree. Wonder if Bell is healthy if he will be a one game deal and they release him afterward? Or maybe it will depend on his performance
December 30, 201411 yr I wonder if they thought about Ray Rice? Possibly and I bet if he had played any this season he'd have been looked at more seriously. It has to be tough to sit out the whole year and then expect to be a viable option in the playoffs. Even if only used on third down.
December 30, 201411 yr I guess Tate is the best available but he sure hasn't done anything this year.
December 30, 201411 yr Author They had pondered Tate before he went to Minnesota. So he's been on the radar for them since Blount departed according to the report I read.
December 30, 201411 yr Bell is out this Saturday. Archer and Harris will get all the carries. Archer will only get to play a few plays he can't pass block. Harris will get the work load.
December 30, 201411 yr Debatable. Tate is garbage. 3.1 YPC this year. Ran behind the same line Terrence West (3.9 YPC) and Isaiah Crowell (4.1 YPC). He was cut by 2 teams this season and is constantly injured. Rice > Tate.
December 30, 201411 yr I was hoping they would sign Rice. I also heard they thought about looking at the law firm.
