It wold be great to get to see Pitt run again. GO BUCKS

He should get some carries, I hope he makes the best of them!

Problem that he is going to run into is that the Rams O line is HORRIBLE this year. Injuries have destroyed them this year.

Very true. Pro-bowlers Bulger & Holt have been gone MIA, and heavily hyped Jackson has done very little as well.

that's what happens when you lose Orlando Pace...

I sure hope he takes advantage of the opportunity.

With a halfback/fullback hybrid like Brian Leonard and a great runner like Antonio Pittman, St. Louis may actually be able to get a running game going.

Go for it Antonio!

Pitt didn't get any carries in yesterday's game.

On the possibility on using Antonio Pittman more: ?We got him some reps last week in practice. There was a time there during the game where we felt we may have to use him. Yesterday Brian (Leonard) stiffened up a little and there was a chance he may have to go. That ended up not being the case. We?re trying to get him up to speed. We?ll see where that leads.?

Rookie running back Antonio Pittman could see some carries this Sunday in a reserve role. "We'll plan on getting him some snaps," Linehan said. "There is no guarantee on that, but he is definitely more in the mix as far as playing time this week."

PITTMAN?S PENDULUM

Former Akron Buchtel and Ohio State running back Antonio Pittman is getting his feet wet in St. Louis after a mind-blowing entry into the NFL.

In April, Pittman was drafted in a high Round 4 spot (No. 107 overall) where rookies hardly ever get cut, but the Saints let him go late in the preseason.

The Rams claimed him. His stats are nothing to get excited about (nine carries, 19 yards), but Linehan seems pleased.

?We really like Antonio,? Linehan said. ?He?s really improved and had some nice carries for us last week. He?s right on schedule.?

He finished with 7 rushes for 53 yards & 1 catch for 0 yards. Glad to see him back in action and producing.

He had a 43 yard run that set up a touchdown. Hopefully he sees increased playing time in the future. It seems as if Jackson is wearing down, and maybe he may be able to assume the starting role.
