A lot of people don’t seem to be particularly exhilarated or, dare I say, inspired by the Pittsburgh Steelers’ decision to go with third-year running back Fitzgerald Toussaint as their practice squad member at the position. I happen to think that it is a virtually ideal choice, and here’s why.
For one thing, you already have your coveted ‘developmental’ running back in Terrell Watson on the 53-man roster. Under what most would consider to be normal circumstances in terms of how the Steelers are viewed to do business, it would be Toussaint on the 53-man roster and Watson on the practice squad.
