I was talking to a friend of mine who is a long time steeler fan (forgive me, at least his families from Pitt). He asked me why we haven't sat RW down for a few games. His argument was that RW has the same/similar MCL sprain as roethlisburger.
It's a great point. Even if they are not identical injuries, pitt's strategy is to heal roethlisburger so that he is healthy(er) down the stretch/playoffs.
If RW has a similar MCL sprain and additional high ankle sprain and pec injuries, why not concede 3-6 weeks so he's healthy down the stretch/playoffs (hopefully)? We have a 1.5 game lead in the division and have easier games (including 2 afc games after this one) the next 6 weeks before we have a critical end of the year.
Thoughts?
