No surprise, the Steelers don't expect Mendenhall to fully recover until 2013

J. Dwyer is your new starting RB.

Consideirng the gaping holes at nose, guard and ILB, that would be a foolish pick. If they waste one of those high picks on a RB, I'll be shocked, annoyed and angry.

If he was smart he was speed training and working out double hard since the browns game.

You get a few shots in the NFL, this is one of them for him. he had ample warning to get in top shape.

hope he is ready for the job we need him now.

dwyer is the fastest of the RBs on the roster (except probably batch) but definitely faster than redman, clay, or moore.

but dwyer is the most likely to get out of shape, hopefully he takes full advantage of this opportunity. I guess we will find out how much faith they have in him if they take a RB in the top 4 rounds (not opposed to btw, pead, miller, wilson, ect)

i've never been a big mendy fan, but i don't think he was given a fair shake in that sh*t @$$ thing we called an offense.

that being said, i agree with most that RB's are pretty easy to come by and i've got no problem if mendy was no longer on this team. i think we have more than adequate replacements and wouldn't miss mendy all that much.

Do people here really expect the Steelers to draft a running back early with Mendenhall still on the roster? Sorry folks, whether you like it or not Redman is your new starting running back for the 2012 season.
