    The Steelers gave running back Rashard Mendenhall the chance to redeem himself Sunday night. Mendenhall, the Steelers' first round pick in 2008 started for the injured Willie Parker (toe) against the San Diego Chargers, and he wasted little time in taking advantage of the opportunity. Mendenhall scored his first two NFL touchdowns and had 80 yards rushing by halftime.

    He had a good game and the o-line was "kicking San Diego's stinking butts."

    One good game doesn't make a star. Can we see him dominate the Lions and Browns before we call him the next Eddie George?

    Nice game and he has the potential.....we'll see what happens. If he hits the hole and th o-line makes the holes he will do well. It's not complicated. Ask the Broncos, they've been doing it for years. Make a hole and hit it running north and south then make a move.

    All the "supporters" have come out of the woodwork. Thankfully, Rashard has a good chance to keep them out with the Clownies and Lions on the schedule.

    Sorry....I'm a big ten fan and saw him at Illinois and had a good idea what he could do. He showed that in Sundays game. Doesn't mean he'll continue it. I hope he does.
