So Much For the Pittsburgh Steelers Concentrating on the Run

The Pittsburgh Steelers have talked about getting back to typical Steelers style ball this season--less emphasis on the pass and more running. With the tandem they had ready to rock--Le'Veon Bell and Legeratte Blount--that was not going to he a problem.

Now that Blount and Bell have been arrested--problem.

@FantasyInsider
Apparently the duo needed some down time after practice and decided to 'relax' a little:


According to Adam Schefter this is how it went down:
Bell and Blount will be charged with marijuana possession following a traffic stop Wednesday afternoon. Ross Township detective Brian Kohlhepp said traffic officer Sean Stafiej pulled over a Camaro operated by Bell around 1:30 p.m. after Stafiej, who was on a motorcycle, noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Stafiej found a 20 gram bag of marijuana inside the car. Bell, Blount and a female passenger all claimed ownership of the marijuana according to police. Bell, 22, was taken to a hospital to have blood drawn and is expected to be charged with driving under the influence of marijuana. Bell, Blount and the female passenger were arrested and released. All three are expected to receive notice of formal charges through the mail said Kohlhepp. The possession and DUI charges are both misdemeanors. The Steelers play a preseason game in Philadelphia on Thursday.
So whenever this catches up with the Steelers it means the team will be down to rookie speed demon Dri Archer and Tauren Poole (yeah, I've never heard of him either). It's the kind of opportunity that Dri Archer could only hope for, but as a smaller guy he may not be the best suited to carry the load.

Should the Steelers lose both for any period of time the Steelers will undoubtedly be bringing someone in to take some pressure off of Archer.
