He did evolve. It wasn't strange that they started games off in the air instead of straight pounding the ball like they used too. He's finally got a QB after all these years and apparently he's not scared to use him.
Duckett would be good to have aboard, but in a business aspect, there's younger and cheaper players who can be good short yardage backs (Humes) and be successful with our O-line. Remember that the Steelers have a history of having a solid run-blocking offensive line which accounts for a high percentage of our successful ground game. Teams aren't beefing up their D-line to necessarily stop running backs, they do it to get through the O-line to the running backs. Also our running game has evolved with Willie Parker. I'm still sceptical of Staley until he can stay healthy and be productive.
