Stop the Run!

I disagree that we need an elite run stopper but another big body in the rotation wouldnt hurt. This year we will face Adrian Peterson, Frank Gore, Michael Turner X2, DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart X2, Cadillac Williams (not in the same breath as the others but had a huge game against us last season), Cedric Benson, Ray Rice, and Steven Jackson. Thats not to mention if Pitt rededicates its offense to the run and the three pronged attack in Dallas. Even if our run defense is better than our stats showed last year, additional help would be nice considering the schedule we play and especially the division we play in being all run first teams (plus Matt Ryan's ability off the play action).

The plus side to it is the QBs we might get to face:

Sage Rosenfels/Tavaris Jackson (if Favre doesnt return)
Alex Smith
Matt Moore/Jimmy Clausen X2
Matt Leinart/Derek Anderson
Josh Freeman X2
Jake Delhomme/Seneca Wallace
Ben Roethlisberger (two weeks back from suspension)
Matt Hasselbeck/Charlie Whitehurst
AJ Feeley/Sam Bradford
