Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin Ends Speculation Over RB Willie Parker

Willie Parker didn't play in three of the four preseason games, but Steelers coach Mike Tomlin made it clear that he has no plans to rotate Parker and Rashard Mendenhall at running back. "Willie Parker's our runner," Tomlin said Friday afternoon. "Rashard's done a nice job and he's going to get an opportunity to get his touches, but more important than anything else, Willie Parker is our runner." Parker had only four carries for 13 yards and a touchdown and one reception for 2 yards in the preseason, all against Washington, and is coming off a 791-yard season, his lowest season total since his rookie year.

I expect him to have a pretty big year, and Mendenhall will look good as the spell rb as long as the offensive line can get some kind of push.

I didn't realize there was any doubt...lol...Willie Parker will be Willie Parker. Hopefully they can keep him healthy with Moore and Mendenhall.
