Keep in mind though that Redman got injured in week 3 of preseason and has been running on two sore ankles since then.
Also, since mendy did not play in those games, we have no idea how badly he would have fared.
Mendy dances around behind the line for too long, oftentimes resulting in lost yards on 1st & 2nd down (aka Willie Parker), whereas Dwyer and Redman are better north-south runners.
I am excited to see what mendy can do behind the new Oline, but I do think Redmand and Dwyer are better suited to our current scheme and roster.
