The guy has more heart and determination then Mendy.

I prefer Dwyer or Redman to him and both were more productive on a per carry average last year. Take your time.

Idiot.

I know Maurice Jones Drew wants out of Jacksonville,and he is the best running back in the league. I think the Steelers would be wise to work out some kind of trade with Jacksonville to get MJD, he is axactly what they need to get back to the superbowl. Jacksonville is deep need of a legit wide receiver so trade Wallace for MJD and a 3rd round pick for 2013 and everybody is Happy. Problem solved. The Steelers will win their superbowl and the Jaguars will get better too. It’s a no brainer.

This dude is faster and can work in between the tackles. I’m glad they kept him.

We have what we need in the backfield. I especially think that Redman is going to have a year that makes us all say, “Mendy who?”

Redman and Dwyer will be fine. No need to pick up a has-been hack like Benson.”

Not to mention John Clay, Baron Batch, & Chris Rainey! The Steelers, as always, will be fine!!!

Behind him are four guys fighting for about three spots: Jonathon Dwyer (healthy and in shape), John Clay (a big back who showed promise as a power runner in limited action last year), Byron Batch (the probable leader for the 3rd down back role) and Chris Rainey (speed back just a hair slower than Mike Wallace.)

When you consider the deemphasis on running backs in general around the league, Steeler fans feel they have enough talent and enough talented players to cover for Mendenhall if/until he gets back. Many feel this will be his last year with the Steelers anyways just due to it being his contract year. Throw in the probable upgrade on the offensive line and the increased use of a true fullback, and whether non-Steeler fans disagree or not, I think the Steelers are going to be just fine at running back.

All a team needs is a decent RB/depth. It’s stupid these days to pay a lot for a RB (like CLE). How’s that working for Minn and Tenn?
