Mendenhall returns but he'll miss Roethlisberger

Re: Mendenhall returns but he'll miss Roethlisberger
I remember that like it was yesterday. Damn that's funny.
Re: Mendenhall returns but he'll miss Roethlisberger
Ummm...WTF was that?
Glad he's playing. He's never been productive against the Ravens and i don't see that changing on Sunday.
Anyone have a clip on Ray's hit on him?
Re: Mendenhall returns but he'll miss Roethlisberger
He isn't that great, I am more concerned about Redman and Dwyer exploiting the middle of our defense. Mendenhall isn't big or strong enough to do that, he's an outside zone runner, and that's the strength of our run defense.

Just like "Fast" Willie Parker. You keep him inside the tackles, and he sucks. I'm with you, I'm more concerned about their bigger backs.

Now, if we can contain Dwyer like we do Mendenhall, it'll be a good night.

Agreed with this. No doubt they'll commit to the run game and the Ravens have to find a way to at least slow it down and keep them out of the end zone
Re: Mendenhall returns but he'll miss Roethlisberger
Like Leach said, I am more concerned about Dwyer but especially Redman. That guy breaks tackles at an alarming rate. I will never forget how he broke two tackles to score the winning TD in 2010 at M&T. The guy has to be tackled low. Same with Dwyer.
Re: Mendenhall returns but he'll miss Roethlisberger
Just checked the Steelers stats this season and noticed something:
Their running backs have only scored 4 TDs.
They've scored 17 TDs passing, but 6 of those have been to Wallace, 6 have been to Heath Miller.
More than half their TDs have been scored by those 2 players, with Ben obviously passing it to them.
Losing Ben may cripple that offense unless they can somehow make significant adjustments mid-season.
Re: Mendenhall returns but he'll miss Roethlisberger
I hope they give Mendenhall all of the carries. He is overrated and runs soft.
