Steelers Should Turn To Nix For Post-Bye Boost In Run Game

The Pittsburgh Steelers went the first five weeks of the regular season without their fullback, second-year player Roosevelt Nix in the lineup, and, for the most part, they simple did without the position. Tight end David Johnson logged some time there, although when in that position, he did not always get used as a lead blocker.

But Nix has been back for two weeks now, and he is still not getting used very much. Through two games, he has logged just six snaps on offense, one of them being for a kneel down at the end of the first half in Miami.
