Steelers....who is the main back-up RB? (1 Viewer)

[eoMMan]

If Mendenhall got hurt, would it be mostly Moore with Redman getting goal line carries?

I guess Moore would be the best pick-up?

Probably 3-way RBBC with Moore, Redman, and Dwyer.

I'd see Dwyer and Redman splitting early and running down work with Moore slightly more involved as a COP back.

If I had to bank on 1 of these guys it would be Redman. Moore's skills have eroded to the point he's a liability. Dwyer is a complete unknown.

Redman's not a special talent but he runs hard and seems to have decent vision. He knows the system and has proven very capable on blitz pickup. If anyone emerged as worth owning it would be him.

I think Redman would benefit most. Moore is mainly a 3rd down back.

Moore is mainly a 3rd down back.

He's barely even that anymore.

This.I really doubt that one guy would replace Mendenhall. You'd see all three getting work.

Funny - I was about to put in a claim this morning for Redman. I'm not the Mendy owner but I figured he's as worthy of a roster spot as guys like Snelling and Tolbert. If Redman got the lion's share if there was a Mendy injury, then he could be ver productive. But the post about a possible 3 way RBBC with Redman, Moore and Dwyer is not out of the question. Just don't know where Dwyer is with his pass protection but if he improved there, then he prob would earn playing time if there was a Mendy injury.
