Based on some stats I've read, 3, including the Superbowl. He does not have a problem. Mathews just made a hell of a play.

They'd be better off drafting a full back than a speedster RB. Mendenhall is fast enough.

To blame Legursky for it...I ain't goin there ,that's just nuts...

They will do better someday>>>>>GO BROWNS!!!!!!!!

hes a "fumbler"? lol keep reaching for excuses. he had what? a handful this year? give me a break

He is shaping up to be a complete back. I can't wait to see what he does next year and how much more maturity and growth he displays. When he was drafted, I wasn't crazy about the pick because of his work ethic, but he really grew up thanks to Tomlin.

I'm not knocking Mendy but I sure miss having a running back like the BUS,when ever you needed those short yardage downs you knew he'd get it and more.

Mendy is and will be MONEY! If we had the right gameplan he'd been MVP!

I honestly don't know how well Bettis would do in this offense now. I'm sure he'd be effective just because of how talented he is, but the fact that we pass more now and rely on the speed of Mendenhall to break a lot of plays outside is different than how we used to be. Redman and Mendy both are quite capable of dragging players and have done so all year.
