Who knows, Barry Foster was a surprise back in 1991-92. Maybe Redman makes something happen on the ground. Can't hurt, right? If Mendy has a good night, the Steelers will win this game.

Moore. Mendy is a natural broken field runner; while not as fast as Parker, he performs best outside the tackles and is an adequate RB. By contrast, Redman performed well between the tackles in preseason against second stringers. Now we'll see if he can run against the first string defense of S. Diego. I don't think Redman is the answer to the Steelers' need for a power back in short yardage and goal line situations; but he seems a better choice in this role than Mendy. Let's hope he gets the chance to show what he can do. It appears that Parker will not play (turf toe) on Sunday, and Mendenhall will take his place, backed up by M. Moore.
