RB Parker Would Welcome Two-Back System
Teresa Varley, Steelers.com - [Full Article]
Steelers RB Willie Parker carried the rushing load last season, but he wouldn't mind having someone in the backfield to help with some of the carries. "I think the two-back system will work very well here in Pittsburgh," said Parker, who indicated that sharing the load can help make his career last longer. That help could come from veteran RBs Najeh Davenport and/or Kevan Barlow. "Those guys are great running backs," said Parker. "I think those guys will bring great things to the offense."
