Mendenhall a versatile every-down back

Marshall Faulk rushed for 1,319 yards and caught 86 passes in 1998.

Edgerrin James followed that the next two years in Indianapolis by averaging 1,631 yards on the ground and scoring a total of 35 touchdowns.

Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians had an up-close look at both of those running backs during his brief time on the Colts' coaching staff a decade ago. He gets flashbacks when he sees Rashard Mendenhall.

Quoting the movie Cool Hand Luke. "That's what he wants.Well,he gits it"! It's been awhile since we had a back like him who can catch, RAC and block in the backfield. He is a well rounded RB and we should use him as much as he can take in the offense. Run first of course.

I'd like to see a lot more of Mendy catching passes out of the backfield. He really impressed me with his ability in doing that last year.

He's reminded me of those two since he stepped on the field last year. We have a good one.

I am not going to take anything away from Moore. He is a guy who can get us that extra yard if it hadn't been for him then we would not have wont the last super bowl. Give credit where credit is due.
