    Dwyer

    Anyone know why he's constantly asking to come out of the game?

    Willie Colon eats Mexican for his pre game meal?......I wondered the same thing last night. He had two nice gains in a row and was them motioning to come out....I'm yelling 'stay the f_ck in there and keep pounding'......

      He sets the bar pretty low for himself. The guy ALWAYS looks to the sidelines...

        They were asking the same question on the fan today and I haven't heard a legit answer.

            He's a puss. A talented puss, but a puss nonetheless.



            Just kidding. I like the way he runs. No puss would be getting the yards after contact that he does.

              I don't think him getting yards after contact has anything to do with his mental make up.

                Instead of ripping Dwyer might we consider that he is coming off an injury and the coaching staff instructed him if he feels something to take a breather because they have depth at RB. I know it is easier for internet "he men" to question the courage and heart of Dwyer but we have no idea what he has been told to do, do we?

                  Dwyer was our best RB last night, maybe he should improve his conditioning a bit but when you are a big back and run as hard as he does perhaps you need a breather every so often.

                  would you guys rather have Dwyer stay in the game if he feels winded?

                    As Tomlin always says....run him til the wheels fall off.

                      First of all, I wanted to start a separate thread: Proof in the pudding. JD is our best back. Mendy looked as bad as ever, with his dancing, spinning, etc. Redman, per also my prediction, got hurt quickly. There is no doubt JD is our best back WHEN HE ACTUALLY WANTS TO PLAY THAT IS, which usually lasts for 2 runs before he wants out of the game. He just isn't the most driven guy; he will never see a big $ contract on that basis. Can you imagine how unmotivated he would be if he signed contract with a $10 million signing bonus? I definitely think we need another back for next year; RM needs shipped out, IR is only a few carries a game type of back, obviously Rainey is not a mainstream back and never will be, Batch is very so so and that leaves us with one back who can be a 100-yard a game guy, and that guy is lazy. So, we must add a new back for 2013.

                        While I completely disagree about getting rid of Mendy, I do agree we need to draft another RB next year. mendenhall is probably no better than 70-80% coming off major surgery and the achilles. A full off season and coming back into Haley's offense healthy he would be very good. Plus he will be cheap to resign.

                        Redman would be odd man out for me. As many of us predicted he wouldn't be able to be a top back because the injuries would inevitably come.

                          I wasn't as concerned with him coming out as much as how long he was out. A few times in running situations I wanted him back in there but he wasn't.

                            If RM came cheap, I wouldn't be completely against it, but only as long as the team doesn't try to make him the starter and the back who gets 80% of the carries. He isn't good enough for that. The team should seek an upgrade at that position, or split it with JD and a young, hungry stud back. Kniles Davis anyone?

                              wish we would have seen JD on that 3rd and 2 late in the 3rd on the ravens goal line. We were really pushing them around at that point.

                              I thought this was haleys worst game as a playcaller.
