Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

Week Four Answers: Baltimore Ravens 20 Pittsburgh Steelers 23

Q: How does the three-headed RBBC distribute its carries amongst Willis McGahee, Le'Ron McClain and Ray Rice?

A: This is not a three-headed RBBC despite the coach's public statement to that effect a couple weeks ago.  It is two-headed with Le'Ron McClain again demonstrating his value.  He gained 63 yards on 16 carries with a TD and also caught three passes for another 26.  Looks like the hype about rookie RB Ray Rice will need a serious injury to either McClain or McGahee to be revived.

Q: With a sieve of an o-line, an injured Ben Roethlisberger and a d-line missing Casey Hampton be able to protect its home turf on Monday Night football?  How does 1st round pick Rashard Mendanhall do in front of a national audience?

A: Yes.  Despite not being able to run effectively, and who really thought starting a rookie RB against the Ravens defense would result otherwise, the Steelers won.  Unfortunately, the Steelers' lost starting RB Rashard Mendenhall for the season with a fractured left shoulder. While his 3.3 YPC isn't great, it was nearly double what next week's RB tandem, Mewelde Morre and Casey Davis, were able to do.

I’m very interested to see what Mewelde Moore can do in the Steelers offense. He’s the kind of back that’s built for the passing game that they’re transitioning towards.
