Anybody Still Think....

Re: Anybody Still Think....

I guess I am one of the few that was irritated with Mendenhall's running last nite. It seems too often he is searching for the perfect hole before making his cut to the line. He has got to realize by now that there will be NO perfect holes with this current OL. He seems to do best when he just picks a crease and guns it. The Ravens D is just too fast for dancing, which he did at least a half dozen times.

We like Redman because there is no dance, just power running and mowing your guy over.

I agree. I hate to see Mendy backtrack and try to find another hole.. he did it probably 3 times last night... drives me crazy. just put your head down and get the tough yards already.

The problem is that if you relook at those plays the only thing he is going to find putting his head down is his OL's butts. They are usually stood up and getting no movement. There is not space for Mendy to put his head down and try to squeeze through

He did it more than 3 times... It drives me crazy... pick a hole and hit it. When he does he is good for 3 to 4 yards but too many times last night he was dancing.

I love Redman. I did not think he was getting into the endzone on that pass. Also have to give Ben props for throwing short and trusting Redman. I don't think he makes that pass 2 years earlier...

IMHO, there is no way that Mendy or Moore score on that play. Redman, that's MY dog!

Like I said there would actually have to be a hole to "hit it"

Re: Anybody Still Think....

Mendy is dancing too much again. Needs to get back to taking his losses.

Minus one yard is no where near as bad as minus 5.
