Steelers Trade for Felix Jones from the Eagles

Steelers trade with Eagles for RB Jones | TribLIVE

In return goes a 2nd year undrafted LB.

I like this trade mostly because Pittsburgh gave up very little for him. Jones is a good insurance policy until Bell gets healthy.

REMIND ME: Has Felix Jones ever rushed for over 800 yards in an NFL season?!?

As soon as Bell gets back, he's the #1. They're not relying on Jones to rush for even 600 yards. He's a stopgap and a decent pass catcher out of the backfield. When Bell does return I can see Jones as a change of pace and possible third down option.

RB is only as good as the o-line and the Steelers o-line is awful.

Glass houses my friend. Falco was running for his life last night. Your offense looks atrocious right now.

LOL....don't forget who won the SB last year son. Flacco wasn't running for his life, that was Ben. Flacco made a few mistakes last nigh, and that has to improve, besides this thread is about RB and well you're not going to find a RB better than Rice or Peirce.

Last year is over bud

One thing you're going to find out this season is your ravens will be wearing a fire engine red bullseye on your back for sixteen games. You will need your A game every week. And to be honest, between the lack of depth at TE and WR, I see that as your greatest weakness.
