    lol, just the messenger but it appears Mendy has work ethic issues. For the record, I don't want Mendy gone, I just like Dwyers style better, I'd prefer to keep them both. If we are going to thin out the RB's, I'd prefer Redman be the odd man out. But if Mendy is going to start slacking, he can hit the road and Red can stay.

    Actually, I think Dwyer has had work-ethic issues in the past. I think I heard it on Black and Gold radio yesterday that there have been issues with his effort. I also heard that Haley challenged him to make is so that they don't have to make the decision to take him out of the starting lineup. We'll see how he responds as an every-Sunday feature back.

    He does or did anyway, kept coming to camp out of shape but this year he's changed his tune but he's still obviously a work in progress since his conditioning isn't where it is supposed to be yet. We'll see if he's doing it just because its a contract year or if he just gets it now.

    I would. Then address it in the offseason. Don't know how much punishment Ben will be able to take and we Know Lefty is made of glass, could be right back in the same boat in the blink of an eye.

    Since I was born in Denver, that would actually make the Broncos my hometown team. Since I've lived in and around San Diego since '68 I've seen WAY more of the Chokers than I care to and I stand by my statement 100%!:smiley1:

    Lmao... And I don`t talk well about the Bronco`s, either, no matter which buck-toothed qb is in charge of them... Hahaha...
    I still haven`t seen any links in any threads, that suggest this latest benching of Mendy, is due to lack of prep, tho???:shrug:
    Yeah, he had issues with it once in the past, but all I saw this time was 2 fumbles in one game... When everyone else was doing the same, if they had a second chance...:facepalm:

    i kinda like the fact they are leaving the O-line intact from last week. week 2 may even look better. i'm liking the added mobility. we may be able to hit the edges better this week. happy,happy,happy as phil would say.LOL:lolol::cool:

    I wondered that too.
    But Batch is probably used to working with a second or third string center?
