No matter who you are I think that would be great reason to be shocked. An undrafted unproven RB stepping right into an starting role and making it top the top 10.

However much you think you know about football, rest assured that Skip Bayless knows more!
One thing you can't measure is heart. Redman has it.
Enjoy while you can, he is going to pleasantly surprise.

That's a good problem to have if so, so I'll take it too!Originally Posted by The Lakelander
Don't be shocked if Redman drops jaws and becomes a Top 10 NFL RB during Mendenhall's absence ...

I personally have nothing against Redman. I'm just a lil shocked so many of you are so offended that people question whether he will be capable of carrying the load. He's a UFA who up until this point has had a very limited role on this team as a short yardage back and situational player. He had one NFL start and people are ready to hand him 25 carries a game?!?! I'm just saying I think he will be splitting carries with atleast 2 other rbs on a consistent basis! He may be durable enough to carry 25 times a game, but I don't think he has shown the skill set to warrant those carries.... Did teams "gameplan" for Bettis too? ... Did it really matter? ...
Great backs don't have excuses ... Rashard seams to have excuses from every fan that is six inches into his ass end! ...
Look ... Mendenhall has decent production behind a sub-par NFL O-line and within a much-maligned NFL offensive system ... but beyond that Mendenhall has been an enigma ... he never seems to break a long run (given all his "speed", "power", and "vision" ... and he has worn me out with his dancing and spinning ...
Redman has all of my confidence! ... He makes every carry count! ...
To say Redman will wear down is utter speculation at this point in time and is very anti-positive fan perspective ... those who are talking this talk are doubters ... and doubters turn into bandwagoners when the matter at hand happens to be opposite of their poor judgements ...
so we cant measure heart but apparently you can?
LMAO!

Right Isaac is the primary back for us as of now. I believe he can carry some of the load while mendenhall is recovering. He is a decent back. He relies heavily on his strength to break tackles, but he is slower than mendenhall. I also heard Todd Haley likes to use running backs as receiving targets. Most likely other Rbs will fill in for receiving targets. We have depth at Rb position to fill the starting role as mendenhall recovers.
I think he'll do just fine. He hasn't given us any reason to think he can't carry the load. In the game Mendenhall was injured Redman went on to carry the ball 19 times for 92 YDS a 4.8 AVG. with 1 TD. In the playoff game against Denver Redman carried the ball 17 times for 121 YDS. a 7.1 AVG.
I think Redman's style tends to be a bit more consistent and productive as he gets north & south in a hurry. I'm fine with Redman.
Mendenhall wasn't even mentioned in the NFL's top 100 for a reason... he's just not that special. He's good, but not special.
Not to be an ass or anything, but if you used roughly 10 sec browsing through the forums you'd see we have 4-5 posts about the subject already. No need to start yet another one.

ah yes, lets use NFL networks awful top 100 list of randomness....awesome argument.
anyway the list is the top 100 players of 2012, which he wouldnt belong on anyway
