With the way he played against the Broncos, he should get more opportunities.

Looked like Redman was not 100%. Groins are tough.

He deserves a greater oppurtunity

As he should.

You're right, Redman definitely wasn't 100%. I do still think that Dwyer earned more carries though with his play.

The Jets defense is tough too. This could be a defensive show down come Sunday.

Didn't seem so tough with CJ Spiller out there running for 169 yards. Also a good chance that Revis doesn't play.

Jets always seem to play us tough though, even at Heniz Field. I hope I'm wrong and I would love to see them harrass Sanbow all day. Hopefully with Foster and Gilbert back, that should help against the Jets D.

I think he has earned the right for more carries he seems like the only one who can move the ball on the ground.

Deserves a shot at increased workload .

I didn't like to see him drop that pass, but otherwise, he definitely ran hard. He's a big guy, too, so when he gets up a head of steam he's going to be hard to take down.

This is great.

I was so-so on the guy when we drafted him. Thought he looked okay running the ball the first year. But last year he looked a bit better. This year, he seems to have really taken a good step. I'm all for giving him more carries. The more experience the kid has, the better he'll become. Once again, hand it to our scouting staff and Kevin Colbert. It seems like they may have pulled another one out of their rear-end.

It definitely helps that he took the initiative and got himself into better shape. I've never heard of anyone slimming down and getting SLOWER...

Do you know how difficult that is for someone with A.D.D. as well? Very impressive. Most people with A.D.D. would have found it very difficult to stay motivated and get in shape to the degree he needed to - including learning a new playbook.

What going on with Mendy? does anyone have the scoop?

My guess is we play it safe and hold him out until after the bye. Unless there are more injuries, or we digress farther in the running department.

As encouraged as I was by Dwyer's performance both in the Denver game and the preseason....I dont care who is at RB. If Doug "below the line" Legursky is playing G...we will not establish the run game.

I know its a broken record but here goes anyways....hear's hoping the OL stays healthy
