Gotta love it !

Man does that almost look identical to Willie's XL run.

[cold-hard-steel]

Agree,it does have some resemblence.

[steelpride12]

Awesome run, but I gotta give it to the blocking their and def. Johnson's block to give Mendy that beautiful gap and Mendy did the rest!

[SteelerEmpire]

Man. If not for this run, Wallace's long catch and Troy's pic; this would have been the most boring game I've seen in a long time...

[BigBenFn7]

Very nice run by Mendy. Him and Redman kept wearing down that defense and it finally paid off at the end.

[7SteelGal43]

the O-line did it's job and Rush-hard took it from there WOOT :tt03:

[Carolina Steelers]

Lets not forget Wards block also on the edge

This is Steeler football.... I love games like this defensive struggles its the best and the only way the Steelers play!

[steeldevil]

Amazing blocking by everyone on this play, especially the right side of Adams, Heath, Ward, and Johnson. Also, Atlanta's safety that was unblocked made a terrible play by running forward and allowing Mendenhall to run right past him.

I saw that too, it looked like Johnson was blocking his guy and the safety ran into them. 2 for 1! Awesome run. I woke up my napping wife and son celebrating that play.

[Galax Steeler]

I could watch that over and over great job team.

Agreed. No way that game was boring. I love watching the defense smack guys around!

[Steeldude]

i believe that is the steelers bread n' butter play. the same as the one in the SB(not 100% positive)

[cold-hard-steel]

If it works even one time a game it's in my playbook.They stayed with it,and showed patience.It payed off at the most opportune time.

I assume you meant Troy's pick, not pic. :D

That play is called "22 double".

It is no coincidence that the team that made the big plays, won. That's how it usually works in the NFL. That is why you draft athletes who are football players and playmakers.

Let's not forget that Redman converted 3/4's of our 3rd down conversions! Which isn't saying much (we were 4/11) but still :chuckle:

I figured this would be the best place to ask this, does anyone have Hillgrove's call of Mendenhall's TD?

The playcall was 22 Double as said above

I meant the audio highlights from our local broadcaster Bill Hillgrove. I apologize if I didn't make myself clear enough. I appreciate the quick reply though.
