One of the reasons Rashard Mendenhall has been more effective this year is he’s been more patient. His running backs coach Kirby Wilson tells Dan Pompei of the National Football Post the Steelers runner understands defenses more, and subsequently is setting up his blocks better. Mendenhall has so much burst that his tendency is to want to slam it in the crease on every carry. But he’s fought that urge as he has matured as a player. Wilson said he thinks Mendenhall’s understanding will continue to improve for another couple of years. Source: National Football Post
If the Jets game was any sign of how he will perform under the big lights, then I can't wait to see what he has in store for us tonight.
Yeah, Rashard was a beast in the first half vs the Jets. He brings that game to this game and the Steelers are going to give the Packers fits.
