Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall Must Earn Playing Time

There are plenty of reasons for Steelers fans to be optimistic about a title defense. The teams room for improvement with the running game is near the top of the list. Last years first-round pick Rashard Mendenhall figures to have an increasing role, but coach Mike Tomlin says thats all on Mendenhall. Hes got to put himself back into the offense. I am not responsible for Rashard Mendenhalls role in the offense. He is.

Did anyone expect anything different from Tomlin. A player must earn his playing time. Sounds like typical Tomlin and the right thing to say

I hope Mewelde Moore doesn't get shafted so Mendenhall can play, Moore showed he is worth serious playing time last season.
