    Grats to Mendy. Well deserved. It was nice to see him running hard.

    Keep it up. :thumbsup:

    I just find it funny how prior to the Jags game, all the Redman fans were screaming for him to start, but this week it's crickets..... ;)

    Mendy should've dived the last few yards, I think he would've gotten in on that long run.

    Sweet! It was nice (and overdue) to see him have some bust out runs. I've never really thought Redman should be starter...at least not yet. But he's been a greatly underutilized weapon. He's a beast who fights for every inch. :thumbsup:

    I never wanted Redman to start last week but I most certainly thought Mendy deserved another chance to show what he could do. So I was thinking about a personnel change as well if he did not perform against the Jags.

    Sometimes we dont have alot of patience and give up on guys way too soon.

    They say the same thing about Chris Hoke when Hampton's out, but then they disappear as soon as he comes back. I don't know why someone who's performed as consistently dominant as Casey has been is also consistently called out as someone who should be replaced.

    Mendenhall's an elite talent, and they call to cut him as soon as he has some bad games -- games in which even they admit there were no holes to run through and no blocking to be found... they just didn't like the way he got no yards.

    For the record, I'm a Redman supporter and I want him and Dwyer to get at least a combined 10 touches per game. But all the stuff about Mendenhall's bah-log-nah.
