September 24, 200818 yr Author Yeah but I mean Ben is hurt do you think the Steelers will run the ball more vs the Ravens? Then again McFadden could get the bulk of the carries in there game but Bush could get the call on the goaline. Therefore, I'm in a pickle.
September 24, 200818 yr It's a toss-up. I would have to say they'll probably both score about the same. IF Fargas is playing, go with Mendenhall. If not, go with Bush
September 24, 200818 yr It's a toss-up. I would have to say they'll probably both score about the same. IF Fargas is playing, go with Mendenhall. If not, go with Bush I do agree with that...if both Fargas and McFadden are playing, I'd go with Mendenhall. Of course, Bush is still liable to get the goal line carries... Plus, I'm not convinced that Mendenhall is going to take over the full load in Parker's absence. The Steelers also have Mewelde Moore and Gary Russell. I wouldn't be surprised if they split some carries. Mendenhall had 10 carries for 28 yards in week one and hasn't carried the ball since.
September 24, 200818 yr Author Mendenhall because he's going to be starting, and Bush will be behind McFadden.
September 24, 200818 yr It's a toss-up. I would have to say they'll probably both score about the same. IF Fargas is playing, go with Mendenhall. If not, go with Bush I just heard Lane Kiffin on SIRIUS NFL Radio say Fargas won't be back until after their bye week. Forget about Mendenhall...Bush is a better play this week.
September 24, 200818 yr I'd go Bush. He is close too 100 yds a game in receptions I think and usually scores. The Chargers have given up 30+ points several times. The Ravens have a stingy defense! Thats Reggie Bush you are referring to.
September 24, 200818 yr Thats Reggie Bush you are referring to. :laugh: Could be Michael Bush...as a sophomore at Male.
September 25, 200818 yr Mendenhall is getting the start, start him. Agree. Parker is out so Mendenhall will get the load this week.
September 25, 200818 yr Refresh my memory...is that the same Rashard Mendenhall who averaged 2.8 yards on 10 carries against the Houston Texans and hasn't logged a carry since? Why should we expect him to succeed against a much better defense just because he's starting? Instead of 10 carries for 28 yards, he'll probably have 15 for 35 against the Ravens... *cough* Michael Bush *cough, cough*
September 25, 200818 yr Is it a possibility to get Pierre Thomas, LaRon McClain, or Tim Hightower ou of your Free Agent pool? I' personally trust either of these three over your two choices for this week barring you have an open roster spot.
September 30, 200818 yr Final Results... Rashard Mendenhall - 9 carries, 30 yards, 1 receptions, 6 yards, 0 TD = 3 Points Michael Bush - 14 carries, 48 yards, 7 receptions, 80 yards, 0 TD = 12 Points Bush got 14 of his team's 23 rushing attempts. Mendenhall got 9 of his team's 28. It was basically an even split with he, Carey Davis and Mewelde Moore. Of course, he did get hurt. So, who did you end up playing?

September 30, 200818 yr Author I played Mendenhall and he did bad as you can tell. But the good thing is that Bush got like 12 points and Mendenhall got like 3 but I got beat by like 20 for the week. So it really didn't end up hurting me.
