Redskin: A Little View

Posted by Unknown Tuesday, August 20, 2013

It's a good thing the NFL has not yet cut the preseason schedule in half as commissioner Roger Goodell wants because the Steelers, particularly their offense, are nowhere near ready to start the season.
It's not just that they are 0-2 after their two exhibition games, it's how they've accomplished it. They came apart in more ways than one Monday night in a 24-13 loss against the Washington Redskins.
First, they lost rookie halfback Le'Veon Bell to a right mid-foot sprain in the first series after he made his first NFL appearance and four carries for 9 yards. He will have an MRI today.

This came after halfbacks LaRod Stephens-Howling (strained knee) and Isaac Redman did not dress. Later, they lost fullback Will Johnson to a rib injury and halfback Baron Batch to a stinger.
Anyone sign Chris Rainey yet?

None of those injuries might be serious, but their problems on offense sure look to be, starting with their line. Every starting lineman had at least one penalty except guard Ramon Foster, and those weren't their moments. The first line allowed their quarterbacks to get pummeled through the first half.  Source and More Details
