Although he has a mere two carries for seven yards in the preseason, Isaac Redman has executed enough in Mike Tomlin’s eyes to be named the Pittsburgh Steelers’ replacement starter at running back.
As expected Redman, not Dwyer, might be beginning rb for #steelers if Bell does not play
Le’Veon Bell would be the man for the job if he was healthy, however he’s at present battling a foot sprain that would keep him out for 6-eight weeks. So it seems Redman will get the call although he, too, has been damage, battling a neck stinger.
The whole position it Pittsburgh may use some good well being, as LaRod Stephens-Howling has been working by an MCL sprain and new acquisition Felix Jones has been a strolling MRI in his career.
But it is truthful to ask why Redman over Jonathan Dwyer. Stacking the two up from their 2012 performances, Dwyer had more rushing yards (623 to 410), a better yards-per-carry average (four.zero to 3.8) and fewer fumbles (two to three).
The reply may come within the passing game, the place Redman appears to be a better receiver and cross protector. Dwyer had some decent runs towards the Redskins this preseason but additionally misplaced a fumble and appears to be a greater change of pace runner in this system.
The Steelers are hoping Bell can return to the fold fairly early within the season after studying that his Lisfranc harm was not season-ending.
Isaac Redman, not Jonathan Dwyer, will start for Pittsburgh Steelers if Le’Veon Bell still out
