Q.: I think Davenport runs too vertical and does not have the initial drive to be a 4th down back. Who will the Steelers get to give them a big 4th down punch?

Bruce Bostjanick, Manassas, VA

BOUCHETTE: Actually, they drafted someone last year to be their fourth-down punch: Punter Daniel Sepulveda. Kidding aside, you are perceptive in that they believe Davenport does run a little high and thus is not the best short-yardage runner. They think possibly Gary Russell, an undrafted rookie last season, or someone they acquire in the draft this year might handle that chore. He's not likely to come on either of the first two rounds, though.
