"Hines Ward's personal goals would be achieved more easily in an offense that leaned heavily on the pass. As he plays into his football dotage, the more he adds to his receiving statistics, the closer he can get to the Hall of Fame. Instead, the most-productive receiver in Steelers history is the latest to join the growing list in the organization who believes the offense must run more consistently in 2010. "Last year, we had a prolific offense," Ward noted. "We had two 1,000-yard receivers, a 1,000-yard back and a 4,000-yard quarterback, and we were out of the playoffs. Go figure that." Others have been doing just that. It began when Steelers president Art Rooney said in January, "We need to figure out how to get better running the football." It continued in March when coach Mike Tomlin affirmed his intent to improve his ground game. "We've got to run the ball more effectively in critical situations because that's how we desire to play football, and it increases our chances of winning," Tomlin said. "It makes us a more dominant football team." To that end, the Steelers spent their weekend minicamp using a variety of players at fullback -- Frank Summers, who played some there as a rookie; converted rookie defensive tackle Demetrius Taylor, running back Isaac Redman and tight ends David Johnson and Sean McHugh, who have played the position for the Steelers." http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10125/1055623-66.stm
Im kinda surprised with this. The leagues a passing league now, maybe the Dolphins can make this league more mixed. They do have a damn good wildcat going for them.
