That play completely killed the momentum...and now the D seems to be playing on their heels.

Young player mistake leaving his feet. To his credit he was going for extra yards. needs to think before he does that but he was doing it for the right reasons.

Re: Mendy fumbles again cut parker..

Medenhall is still not getting enough carries. 10 carries for 69 yards.

Re: Mendy fumbles again cut parker..

Mendenhall carries the ball very carelessly. Did you see him on a swing pass earlier? The ball was 2 ft away from his body during the run. Tomlin needs to address this or he will end up with more fumbilitis.

Re: Mendy fumbles again cut parker..

yes i agree should have been 20 for 138 and 2 fumbles...heh

i agree he will be a great back just a lil sarcasm about the dump Parker stuff. I dont think he earned the feature back role yet.

2 reg season fumbles and 4 pre season fumbles in limited carries over his career is a major concern. Get him a mentor and correct his mistakes then give him the reigns.

Mendy was trying too hard on that play. He will learn as he gets more experience.

Mendy needs to get more carries though.

Willie got one carry and you could see how tentative he looked.

Willie had no place to go. If he cuts back to the inside there was a trailing backer right there to make the play.

Mendy needs one of these:



The sling, not the girl. It's for rotator cuff injuries and velcroes right to the body so you can't move your arm away from it!

Re: Mendy fumbles again cut parker..

On the replay, it looked like Mendy was holding the ball high and tight like you're supposed to, but his mistake was leaving his feet to fight for more yards.

Gotta realize the game situation. Right after a big play, in the red zone w/a chance to put it away, you have to be smart w/the ball.

For all intents and purposes, it's his rookie year. Glad we got the win, now Tomlin can use it as a teaching tool for the next two weeks.

He's too good to not utilize.

Re: Mendy fumbles again cut parker..

overall, i tthink Mendy played well. He average 6.9 a carry against a stout defense. He is getting criticized for one bad play. He left his feet, bad decision, and the ball was punched out. I don't bury Mendenhall for this. On the fumble last week, I felt he was down and it was a bad call. Believe it or not A Peterson acquired a reputation for laying the ball on the ground in his rookie season, and he is considered the best running back in the league, now.

Fumbles happen and I don't lose confidence in Mendenhall for this week's perfromance.

I think the point is one guy (Parker) is skewered for it and another (Mendy) isn't.

Mendy is being skewered for it. Not true, but if you're suggesting that Parker should replace Mendy because of this fumble, I completely disagree.

Not sure where you got that idea from.

Read the OP...it's a shot at someone who gives Mendy a pass but comes after Parker every chance he gets.

Re: Mendy fumbles again cut parker..

I did notice that he didn't sniff the field after the fumble.

Re: Mendy fumbles again cut parker..

You get teams like the Giants, Cheats, Broncos, Ravens and they will have their defense keyed to knocking the ball out of Mendenhalls hands.

Mendy needs to wrap up.
