The Steelers also don't rely on Roethlisburger to be an integral part of their running game either. Context.....

Anyone who took an honest look at RW during Training Camp can't say he showed up in the best shape. He was bulky, slower, his throws lacked the snap of previous seasons, etc.
He has too much pride to repeat that mistake. (I hope)
