Pittsburgh Steelers’ fans should get one last look at Willie Parker

With the emergence of 2nd year RB Rashard Mendenhall the Steelers might not have a place for “Fast” Willie Parker on the team in 2010.  Parker has played in 11 games this season and he has carried the ball 78 times for 259 yards (3.3 ypc) and he has also caught 6 passes for 64 yards (10.7 avg) with 1 TD grab.  If this is indeed the end of Parker’s run in Pittsburgh he has been a solid football player for them.  Parker has played in 76 games in six years for the Steelers and he has carried the ball 1,233 times for 5,248 yards (4.3 ypc) with 24 TD runs.  He has also caught 84 passes for 697 yards (8.3 avg) with 5 TD grabs in his time with the Steelers.  Parker has been a asset to the Steelers but he just doesn’t look like his old self anymore.

The Pittsburgh Steelers need to step up or they won’t be getting to the playoffs

The Steelers have placed themselves in the corner now by losing four straight games and now they are 6-6 on the year.  The Steelers can’t even afford to overlook the 1-11 Cleveland Browns tonight as they have lost to the Chiefs and Raiders in the last four weeks.  The team is banged up but that can’t be used as an excuse in the NFL because every team gets nicked up during the course of the year.  The Steelers still have tough games ahead against the Packers, Ravens and Dolphins so this is a must win game tonight or the season is pretty much over.

Limas Sweed is about to be nailed to the bench for the Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers thought they had a steal in the draft last season when they took Limas Sweed (WR) out of Texas.  But, he only caught 6 passes for 64 yards (10.7 avg) as a rookie last season.  When Nate Washington decided to leave for the Titans as a free agent the Steelers felt that Sweed would step up and replace him as the #3 WR.  Boy has he failed them this season so far.  He has caught 1 whole pass for a whopping 5 yards.  He just can’t catch a football, period.  Lucky for the Steelers that they drafted Mike Wallace this season.  He has stepped up into the #3 WR role for the Steelers as he has caught 12 passes for 147 yards (12.3 avg) so far this year.  Sweed is so far down on the depth chart that I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he winds up with another team as early as next season.
