there's your solution as to who St Louis can trade Jackson to..... Pittsburgh needs a RB.

Would be a hell of a lot easier to just sign Shaun Alexander to fill in for a week or two before Willie Parker is back. I don't see Jackson going anywhere until the offseason when he'll inevitably holdout again.

Pittsburgh's offense has changed so much. We remember them for what they have been over the years and especially during their recent superbowl run. Its not just line play-its philosophy.

Shawn Alexander is a one dimensional back that lost his step. Pitt would be better off with mewelde moore.

Actually, they'd be better off with both.

We're talking a waiver wire pickup to help out for two weeks. He's as good as anybody out there. Running back is so overrated anyways. As long as you can hit the hole and not fumble the ball you'll do alright in the NFL.

But of course it makes a ton more sense to mortgage their future by sending all their draft picks for Stephen Jackson when they will have Willie Parker back in two weeks.

i agree, his heart is not in being hit anymore. he does not now or ever did run tough enough to be a steeler. he's a Bama man and i'll root for him but he's soft.

he'd be a great steeler and fit perfectly. would also be a great change from wille but the steelers don't have anything to trade without hurting themselves.
