Why is the Steeler running game so stagnant this year?

I think it has improved alot from the first game. Parker and Mendenhall did get some 10+ yard runs. I think they should shore it up this week, as Cincy has a weak run defense. No running means no superbowl. You have to control the clock to control a game.

They win with the run game.

Run the ball 1st, pass 2nd.

The problem is that they lost a year grooming Mendenhall last year and he's not panning out right now anyway. Parker is/was a feature back and not a rough and tough runner like Bettis was. I'm not really sure what they'll do if he doesn't get it going... it worries me.
