We Have 3 Starter capable RB'S

Let''s save my Boy for last..

Dwyer has proved he has great feet and great vision,I must admit I have beeen worried about his training and preperation,but it is obvious he has turned the corner,,If he continues on that path then the sky is the limit....

Mendenhall is that rare tyoe of RB he can go inside,he can go outside and he has Great open field ability...I have also been worried about his Heart and Desire,but he is showing to be a guy who can do it all I suspect he has turned a corner as well..

Redman is a true Power RB who is good in all 3 phases...Let's not forget he was in the same league as Dwyer per stats with his showing against the Jets in the Post season.....He also proved me right in the passing game he was the 1st. RB to go for 100 plus in like 40 years..He did that in 1half and his yards after contact in that game was off the charts..

The bottom line is all are great and all are different,,but all need some blocking from the OL....If you make space for Dwyer he will show above the line....If you make space for Mendenhall he will show above the line....And if they can block between the Tackles then Redman will show above the line play...

It is simple Football 101 Dwyer can go inside and out at a high level,,,Mendenhall can go outside at a high level and he can go inside if the blocking is on point...Redman is a pure,,I am coming right at you guy,,he requires more control of the LOS than the other 2 because he needs time and space to get to full max...But when he does he is every bit as Dangerous as the other 2....

Some of you need to stop clowning on Redman because when the field gets bad and the weather is bad Redman's style is better suited...The proof is in his Post Season stats....When Redman is Healthy he is just as good as any RB in the NFL,,esp. if you are looking at North and South running,,,,,

 

I don't think all 3 can actually be the #1 as a feature RB. It's a nice stable and forces opponents to prepare for multiple styles.

 

disagree srry

 

You would never know it looking at our running stats

 

Too freaking funny.

Mendy is our clear #1 back.

 

I like Redman too but your man crush on him PWP is downright scary at times. :?

 

It's creepy for sure, but if it wasn't for PWP's creepy man love for Redman and his constant posts about how great he is it would probably not be a fun around here.
I have found myself rooting against Redman just because I'm so sick of PWP's over the top pimping of Red.

 

:o I wouldn't go THAT far

 

SMH

 

No I just was making the point that PP's pimping of Red is way over the top!

 

I guess it is just luck that Redman has overa 6.0 YPC average in the post season....I guess it was just luck when Redman caught the ball vs. the Ravens and broke 3 tackles to give us the win....I guess it was just luck that he was the 1st. RB to catch for over 100 yards in like 40 years....

Not luck at all ,,he is a good RB ,he has great hands and good vision and he has that will and desire that I Love...I heard people say I wished that had been Rainey or Batch on those pass plays they might have scored...Well first they would have needed to catch the ball and then they would have needed to break tackles...

Redman earned his 100 yards last week more than half of it was YAC yards....This proves everything I have always said about him....If he gets into the open field he is a monster to bring down....He has had no open field on running plays so they got him open field in the passing game and he shined....So hate all you want Redman is a Starter capable RB ....

 

Its not when you say

Its when you say

Ask any player, coach, trainer, waterboy in the NFL......Would you rather have Redman or Adrian Peterson ......not only will you get 100% Peterson....you will not hear even one time....Well Redman is just as good as Peterson...so Ill take either one.


Redman flashes....but when he was given the load this year he came up way short....maybe he was injured...I don't know...all I know is he had a hat and was given the majority of touches...and did not do enough with them.

I am sure we will see him again...and I am sure he will play well again.

I am also sure there are better RB's in the league than him.....There are better RB's on his own team than him.....But I do think he is a good player.

EDIT: Redman is actually at 7.1 YPC in the post season....the problem is in his body of work is small. in his first 3 games...7 carries...50 yards....in his Denver game 17 for 122.
HACK

 

Mendy is the best RB as long as he is healthy. I like Redman for 3rd and short or goal line scenarios. Dwyer is good, but not as fast as Mendy. With all the injuries it seems like we need all three.

 

Point tacken Hack...I guess I should have said as good as Most RB'S in the NFL....No one is as good as AP IMO...As Redman's biggest fan ,not even I would choose him over AP....I just take offense when people say he is a 3rd. stringer and not Starter capable...He just happens to be on a Team with 3 starter Capable RB'S..

I am sure there are at least 20 Teams in the NFL that would be very happy to have any of the 3 to help be a #1 or a #2 RB in their system...That was the point of my post,,that we have a great situation at RB esp. if we can get all 3 fully healthy and the OL continues to block like they did last game...

 

I love Redman too but he still hasn't had his shot, this year he started off injured.( hip and ankle) He was getting his strength back ( before this injury) cus he was beginning to move the pile again.

Comparing Redman and his injuries to AP is like comparing Ike Taylor on crutches to Deon (prime time) Sanders. Not even fare to Redman
