Should Redman be the feature back or does Rashard get his job back?

Was it last year that Arians said he wanted to use Mendy and Redman together more often.. maybe its time for the pony...

it is so laughable that all of a sudden mendenhall is this pussy and this weak runner that fumbles all the time when hes been everything weve needed the last 3 years and a top 10 rusher consistently.

all redman had to do was show up to training camp the first time and hes the savior of the run game that before this year didnt really need saving.

redman is a nobody, but way to be irrational about mendenhall everyone

Dont really think he is a pussy, hes just a non contact runner, he never dishes back to anyone that is tackling him, If I had a dollar for everytime he ran out of bounds instead of squaring up on someone and getting the extra yardage. Plus the way he hold the ball down from his body instead of being tucked up and in, im suprised he doesnt have more fumbles.

Mendenhall has the talent to be one of the best RB's in the NFL. He just needs to cut down on the dancing and find the holes which there haven't been many.

What's irrational is that you think the Redman wouldn't do anything to help the run game if he was worked in the right way.

I think redman is a way better blocker than mendy and for that reason alone he should at least be seeing more reps right now!

If Mendenhall is healthy, it's not even close.

He really isn't. Mendenhall is a very good blocker.

Redman is a complimentary back, great change of pace to Mendenhall. But realistically, Mendenhall will not lose his starting position here. He picks up the blitz well, is good in the passing game out of the backfield.

This will not be one of those Bam Morris steps in for Barry Foster moments, plays the season, and the Steelers let Barry Foster go. Won't happen this time. Mendy is safe, but he has to stop tip toeing so much.
