Mendenhall
has played in just four games this year and has 113 yards rushing on 34
carries (3.3 avg.) with no touchdowns. He missed the first three games
of this year with a knee injury and then missed four consecutive games
with an Achilles injury. He was then inactive the past two games (Weeks
13-14).

The Steelers promoted [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
from their practice squad to fill Mendenhall’s roster spot. Batch spent
the first 10 games of this year on the team’s active roster but was
then signed to Pittsburgh’s practice squad for Weeks 12-14. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

He apparently has not taken his demotion very well. Me thinks that was what got him in trouble to begin with.

Too little too late Tomlin...when you have such a veteran team, so undisciplined, you can't hide the fact that you've lost control. This is a reactive more, not a proactive one.

He was told not to dress for the game and then he didn't even show up from what I read. He deserved it.

Rashard's abilities on the field are not his problem.... his lack of seeing team oriented aspects is.

Prety much made clear a few years ago. He never made the big time...
