This season, I don't know how many of the almost-fumbles he's been credited for, but there's been at least 1 for each start. And, his carrying fundamentals still suck. He's losing grip at least a lot.
Hahahaha....sure thats it...whatever makes you feel good Preacher hahaAh, so what you're saying is, before I even posted, I had convinced you to such a degree that you ended up posting what you did just so that you could be in agreement with me before I posted.
Right?

Mendy will have a great game once he is back and healthy. Mark my words. He is the type of player that Tomlin has to stay on top of. He understands being benched and then knows how to perform.
There is a difference in being bottled up by a good defense and missing holes and playing twinkle toes. I really expect him to attack when he gets his next start.
uh good thing "almost" doesnt cut it in this league. Especially not "almost" fumbles.
And this thread is hilarious. I dont think people are fathoming how big that meteor crater of a hole was. That was some insane blocking, especially by whoever was pulling. Looked like Pouncey or the left guard?

Think it was Legursky on the pull, Gilbert with the down block, and Johnson blocking a LB at the second level.uh good thing "almost" doesnt cut it in this league. Especially not "almost" fumbles

Dwyer has thin legs, a thick upper body and doesnt look like he hit the gym that much. He is the 2nd coming of LenDale White.
This. That was one of the best run blocking plays our line has had. It just so happened Dwyer was in the backfield when it happened. Anyone coulda hit that hole and ran as far as they could.

A good example of Mendy's attitude was his body language and facial expressions on the sidelines when the Steelers were down inside the redzone on their 3rd touchdown. Instead of being supportive or following the action with intensity, he looked disengaged and sour.

well that's not fair, how much can you judge from a guy just standing there.

They showed him twice, in a short time span, and he looked sour as shit and totally unsupportive of his teammates both times. Maybe it's not fair, but that's the impression he gave off none the less.

It bothers me a LOT that he's bobbling the ball this much. Something is wrong and it hasn't been fixed. You can't count on falling on the ball when it's sliding out of your grasp and his luck seems to run out at the most inopportune times.uh good thing "almost" doesnt cut it in this league. Especially not "almost" fumbles
Bobbling is a great stretch. He holds it far from his body, usually in space that's fine. Some ball carriers need that strong arm swing to get their acceleration going. Mendy's been doing a better job of keeping it high and tight when there's defenders nearound.
Legursky sealed on the line pull, Johnson had a great down block inside and Miller sealed the outside. Yes, Carey Davis would have gone for 50 yds on that one.uh good thing "almost" doesnt cut it in this league. Especially not "almost" fumbles

And yes, this thread is hilarious. Kind of reminds me of when Dennis Dixon ran one for a TD in preseason and most here had him anointed as the next Mike Vick.
When Dwyer plows over Brian Urlacher (after already being hit once) on the goal line, for a TD...then we may revisit this conversation. Until then, nope.

Can't resemble someone to the bus to got his first NFL start. Just way to early to compare him to a legend.

I could read Hasselbeck's lips talking about how we did the same thing to him in the Super Bowl.
All Defense!
The Legend of John Kuhn was borne of a preseason game as well....
who do you all think is shaping up to play more from now on? redman or dwyer? i thought both were pretty impressive sunday so i am still in the air. was always for sure a redman guy but not sure now.

That's not was I'm complaining about. I'm talking about plays where because of how he holds it he loses or almost loses the ball and, due to a lucky fall or defender out of position, hasn't lost complete control.
Good point. Dante Brown had some pretty good games in preseason too, but not the following of Frank Summers.The Legend of John Kuhn was borne of a preseason game as well....
TOO SOON to tell if Dwyer can be compared to a young Jerome IMHO
