He said at one point that he was very concerned about ben roethlisberger and him being apart of the team.

Yes.

I think he was listed as inactive the past couple of weeks. But yes, physically he can play.

More like, ground and pound down to the three yard line in the AFCCG and then pull a stunt play action and if it goes wrong, blame the offensive lineman. It'll work because they won't expect such stupidity twice in their lifetimes.

If you get some free time, shoot me a message with the logistics behind the change.

I just dont get it. You are one of the selected few to actually make it the NFL and get money to do something you love and then you act like a bung hole and throw it all away. I am just amazed that there is such a level of stupidity

It's pretty simple. The guy was a very good starter in the league and he lost his job because he got hurt. He was pissed and that is how he acted.

Will do. There are some flaws in the system.

Mendenhall when healthy is one of the most talented backs in the NFL. Good receiver, tough and a complete back. He will almost certainly play somewhere else next year and I would definitely like to him instead of Shonn Greene...

jets31 · 12-12-2012, 01:58 PM

Definitely a guy I would consider bringing in next year. Dispite an earlier post he is not shonn Greene 2.0. Mendenhall is a real threat with good speed and he runs hard. The problem with him has been health. If we can get him for a good price with some security for injuries like we did with Landry im all for it.

Another guy to look at would be steven jackson. He will be available next year and is everything Rex would want in a running back. Also is a great locker room guy. I know at this point age is a concern but bring him in like we did LT for 2 years. I think he would be way better for the Jets then LT ever was.

I like Jackson but the problem with him is that he's hitting that age...

Running backs just don't last. Mendenhall makes sense because he'll come fairly cheap despite being taken high in the draft and being extremely young at 25.

One of the few who speaks his mind on twitter and doesn't just fall in line with the rest.

He questioned how bad Bin Laden was and also the truth of the story we're told about 9/11. Whether he's right or not, it's definitely good to be skeptical of what the man tells you.

I hope it helps the Steelers lose their next three. **** the Steelers.

Agreed a good dose of healthy skepticism never hurt. Started a witchhunt by the angry rabble too. But his play has suffered of late so he can't get an easy pass for his outspokenness.

JerseyJet80 · 12-12-2012, 04:09 PM

He has been a healthy scratch for awhile now

I agree but in a two back system Jackson might be just what we need. Again he can be what LT was for us but better.

Guy is like 240 with wheels. We need some more veteran leaders on this team.
