A rundown of some morning topics:

I think the biggest issue is that the run game sucks and will continue to suck all season long. As Tommy Gun said, you don’t make a terrible o-line better by simply paying the same guys more money. This is not a dominating front. If we’re going to run, it’ll be because the pass set it up. Let’s accept that fact and move on from the traditional Steelers smash mouth philosophy. Sorry, Yinzers, but we are what we are. And we have a legitimate passing attack.

Branching even more on this. Some dude from New York asks the all-knowing Bouchette whether or not the Steelers will bring up Isaac Redman from the practice squad, because  he’s the answer to all of our problems.

Q: With the difficulty the running game is having, especially in short yardage situations, at what point do you think Isaac Redman would be brought up from the practice squad?

Michael Pearsall, Albany, N.Y.

BOUCHETTE: If what we saw Thursday night is any indication, I believe the Steelers will look for help anywhere they can get it. I would not expect them to sign Redman from the practice squad next week, but if this continues they would have to at least give him a try. However, unless the offensive line blocks for the run better than it did against the Titans, I don’t know if Jim Brown could help.

Thankfully, Bouchette sets him straight. The Steelers have three very talented and different backs in Parker, Mendenhall and Moore. Redman is not needed. The o-line needs to change if you want to dominate with the run. I can’t say that enough.

Apparently some group was outside the Carnegie Science Center protesting Mike Vick. Why? I don’t know — I didn’t bother reading the entire story. I thought we didn’t sign him and Philly did? Thanks, Santonio for even making Vick a story in Pittsburgh.

…and this is why they are the Bungles.

Here we go.
