mhayhurst Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) Pittsburgh Tribune Review According to article Staley says "If he's out there running and he's doing what he's doing, and putting up great numbers and we're winning, without a doubt - leave him in there," Staley said of Parker. "I told (Parker), 'You got something that Bus and I don't have - that's a couple gears,'" Staley said. "Bussie has one gear and I have two-and-a-half. ... But Willie definitely has five or six gears." Edited September 15, 2005 by mhayhurst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunysteelfly76 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 It's all about the team. I also like that I have Parker on a couple of my teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispirons Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Is it me or does it seem like neither Bettis nor Staley want to play football? 991732[/snapback] if you were a banged up old timer, wouldn't you want to stay in the league and cash nice checks for the next couple of yrs, or in bus's case at least the rest of this yr? whoever they put in there should do decent. the steelers have one of the top 3 or 4 offensive lines for run blocking in the league. parker looks special too. they want to win(bus and staley) a ring, and know the best chance at that might be with them on the bench. each will be used later in the yr though at least to spell parker and bus on the goal line. parker should remain fantasy starter material though.

Jrick35 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) I find it interesting that when one player says "just give me the ball" he's called an obnoxious ass who needs to remember he is part of a team and while another player who says, if he's playing well and we're winning, leave him in there, is considered a player that no longer wants to play football. Kurt Warner did it with the Rams a few years ago when Martz was thinking about pulling Bulger and Warner said to Martz, if he's your starter stick with him. Since then Warner has moved on to 2 different teams to try and get another starting job so he still wants to play, as I am sure Staley and even Bettis do. I think it's great that Staley would say something like that rather than try to divide the team by demanding more playing time or a trade the way Henry did in Buffalo last year. I am one of the first to rip on players like TO when they do something stupid but when a player shows class and/or maturity, let's give credit to them for doing so. Nice job Duce.

jvmillion83 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 As a Duce owner, you just want to yell out "call me sily call me rude, but call me please Duce!" But seriously, thats a good team player attitude right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Viking fans wouldn't know anything about it. 991778[/snapback] Vikings fans and players-selfish-tell me it isn't true. On Sirius today Willie said the Bus and Duce have been helpng him become a good back, being patient when necessary and exploding when the opportunity is there. It looks to be a whole team effort.

Randall Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Good observation. 991981[/snapback] Maybe they'd rather win than put up numbers while losing. They'll play, but part of the team effort. The Bus at the goalline, Duce on 3rd down. Why do you guys have a problem with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
