This is why with all of Eli Manning's faults, as a New Yorker, I always rocked with him. Giants win - Eli says it's the team, Giants lose- Eli says it's on me.
to be fair most of the time it was his fault being he lead the league in interceptions almost every year lmaoo
@Roadrunner0077
I'm a diehard Giants fan and glad someone besides me said it. Eli ass was a turnover machine but I love him.
@@Roadrunner0077 Eli is either one of the best QB of all time or worst QB of all time depending on the season/game. He went on some insane runs that he must have blacked out for.
Eli was the opposite of his brother. Meaning Eli can’t play regular season football, but that post season…
bruhhhh we were so spoiled in the early 2000s and 2010s in sports. Seeing all them giants fans keep calling to bench Eli made me sick. Sure hes not top 3 QB, but Eli never showed off during the regular season. It was our D and run game that always got us deep.
watched Eli for 10+ years, I also watched 20+ teams go through the process of trying to find a new QB and was not ready for that process. Every 1 hates on jones, i dont like him, dont hate em ether but i wouldnt have chosen this dude to replace eli thats for dam sure
Did the same shit in Seattle.. They wanted Russell to be the MVP instead of Marshawn...
Especially that Marshawn was feuding with the league at that time “here so I don’t get fined”
@@SouperFrancisFacts!!!
Cuz Russell was and is a “yess man”
This dude probably led the league in fumbles when he played, and it's tough to find an elite QB. Deal with it! Fucking cry baby. Tomlin took a timeout with 2:02 left in a game with the ball. Damn right, he made mistakes early. Ben didn't get the SB MVP for obvious reasons in 43 and he receives shit until this day for how poorly he played in 40. Our coach and 98% of our team is black. You're going to single out one of 10 white people in the bldg and his relationship with Pittsburgh and you have the balls to call other people racist? GTFOH! Why the headset? Did you keep dropping the mic they gave you on the floor? Fucking bane of our existence when you were in Pittsburgh! I'm so tired of everything being about race when the Rooneys don't fit that description and the entire sports media wants you to believe that 4 years with a playoff win out of 19 is the standard. No. The fucking standard is KC right now.
BULLSHIT. It was Marshawn Lynch and the Legion of Boom. Quit trying to rewrite history. Everyone has always known Wilson was along for the ride.
The media be on the QBs nuts 🥜 so much they literally made MVP a QB trophy.
Not only that, mahomes is probably gonna win it this year despite having one of his worst seasons and guys like Tyreke and CMC going crazy
@@eliyarrows2456 yeah it’s stupid….AJ Brown, Tyreek Hill, Myles Garrett are prob the most valuable players not only on their teams but in the league right now. Not even being discussed it’s QB QB QB QB QB
Is it just me, or does Rashard sound like Terry Crews when he rants 😂😂
Bro did fumbled lol but Ben was a god in these niggas eyes 🤣💯
Rapelisberger got a pass from the entire NFL media
🎯🎯
spell check
Never even questioned once by police. But he’s a rapist… yeah ok lmao
@@dennisjames8356I can't imagine a pro athlete in a "blue collar" city gets preferential treatment from everyone in the town.

u obviously didn't get the joke. 😂
This why I watch this podcast!! All authentic !! All real !! Didn’t hold back or beat around the bush, even when talking about big names !! Respect!! Keep grinding fellas 🫡💯
You could tell he’s kept this inside for all these years and I’m glad he was able to get it out for himself. He was also was spittin FACTS💯
Rashard Mendenhall isn’t even the third best running back in the Ben Roethlisberger era
He been complaining about Ben for years. When he fumbled against the packers he never recovered and started hating on Ben
@@BG33917thank you!! He just salty about something. Ben is a HOF and played through broken noses and many major injures. I know Ben wasn’t the best leader but mendhall for sure salty
💯
He ain’t spitting facts, he’s crying tears like a lil bi tch. He won a superbowl but still out here being petty and crying after all these years? Get a life bra
Damn that real talk man. Never thought about how crazy that with the advent of social media, people forget that we all people and that it's never that serious,
We saw how many times Big Ben publicly went after teammates on the radio😂😂
Im from Pittsburgh….been here most of my life. The first time I heard the n word was in relation to the Steelers when I heard a guy call Kordell Stewart that after a loss. UrinatingTree whose a nfl RUclipsr and Steelers fan said it best: “yinzers will have a klan hoodie next to a mean Joe green jersey and see no issue with that.” The ONLY reason as a black Pittsburgher I started to give a damn about the Steelers is BECAUSE of Mike Tomlin because when he was first hired here, you’d have thought it was the sounding of the trumpets for Revelations. These white folks went into a tail spin over him and still are so I love em now. But when he goes….I probably won’t give a damn about em anymore.
That’s sports in general. White folks only like niggas if we’re an amazing athlete for their preferred team. Sports is just a blinder to what’s really going on in the world.
Born and raised in Butler, I'm white and I dunno how racist it is other places but I agree it def is in West PA. I was lucky coz I wasn't raised that way but my old man always said Pittsburgh was the most southern city in the north n it's def true. People saying the n word n flying rebel flags n all kinds of stupid shit like that. It sucks coz as crazy as it sounds a lot of them are like good people in other ways I guess, its hard to explain like I don't want to defend them but I know them and they are good to me so I know they are capable of it but they are also just fucking retarded and I wish it wasn't that way.
This the type of truth you don't here when players are on roster
Bro said “we running 5 wide , shit I never seen before”…. lol I thought it was just me
When AB spoke on this he was crazy 🥴😂
Tbf, I dont think people called AB crazy because of this. Just watch a UrinatingTree vid from back then and its pretty clear that even Pittsburgh fans were shitting on Ben's "leadership". AB was still doing crazy shit without beefing in the locker room.
Fans have a tendacy to forget that sport players are human just because they make more money than most, myself included. Stories like this help reset how I react towards sports. Also...I wonder if this scenario is what happened to the Falcons at the superbowl...
Hell the Seahawks for that matter Beast mode not getting that ball is still the dumbest call in sports history
@@seandavis4612Marshawn Lynch is a second level runner. He never made his bones on short/goal line runs. Even when he was at CAL they wouldn’t run him in short down situations.
@@seandavis4612 exact same scenario. Coaches trying to make a MVP and and end up losing bc of it is the dumbest shit I have heard. Don't forget the Raiders vs Bucs when the Raiders scrapped the gameplan and what got them to the Super Bowl the night before the Super Bowl
Many fans are envious
I feel him for how he feels. But my guy… you still fumbled the ball.
Right like Pittsburgh didn’t like u cuz u cost us the Super Bowl … u didn’t fumble that thing hed be loved and remembered forever like willie Parker
nigga was boutta cry “if hes taking the blame then leave me alone” like everybody aint watch him fumble 😂
WAS LOOKING FOR THE COMMENT 😹😹 bro fumbled !!
And Ben threw picks that’s game too. One was a TD I believe
Ben got a pass cuz the game winner to santonio .. Ben was already proven at that point
“The fall guy usually looks like us.”
You mean in a league that’s 85% black? Crazy… lol
I know right he over sellin how it is
Bingo
NFL is actually a conspiracy to enslave blk ppl
You’re white?
@@GovernorRiffRaffhidden comment
He just can’t accept the fact he fumbled our 7th superbowl away, truth of the matter is if he doesn’t fumble that ball we go down and score, we had momentum, this is a desperate deflection attempt, just own it bro you fucked up
What about been INT in red zone??
Big ben throw 2 picks one pick 6 what are you talking about
@@YounGC1001 and we still had a chance to win if he doesn’t fumble that don’t change shit
@@973kiiimore then just a chance bro you know that. We had Big Ben, we 100% would have seen ANOTHER signature drive from him if fumbles didn’t put it on the ground
Y'all love to look at what wouldn't could've been....I played plenty football in highschool and at NC State....you ain't guaranteed no score on no drive....none. if you would have bet your life on the 2 drives Ben turned it over you would be dead....but I bet you thought with 2 drives they would at least get 3 pts....they didn't. If it was automatic you wouldn't watch or need to play the game. And I played against Willie Parker in high school and college... FYI... that's a dumb ass take if you ever played football that one man lost a game in this way...
Love this kind of content. Please keep bringing former players as guests!
Right about Ben being a bad leader but he’s coping for the fact that he was the reason that the Steelers lost in the superbowl
But he fumbled the ball as they were driving to win. A fumble that cost them the game.
Facts!
He also rushed for a TD, so at best its a wash.
Ben on the other hand threw 2 picks, one for 6 the other way. He dug that team into a 2 score hole at the half, and then continued to throw for under 300 yrds on 40 attempts.
Ben wash washed in that game.
@@mazsax999a wash? Dude he fumbled as Big Ben was engineering a game winning drive, like he always does
@@mazsax999ok Ben won 2 Super Bowls and lost one .. Rashard cost us the only SB he ever been on
@@GABJ-zy4drya dude should stick to painting.
He’s right. Pittsburgh is a very white city still. It’s happening now with kp8 not getting any blame. And I’m black man born and raised in Pittsburgh
He been getting blame too 😂😂😂😂😂
You must be reading the wrong articles or sum because KP8 been getting flamed
😢😢😢so sad😢😢😢
lol horrible take, everyone hates Kenny
I wanted Collins to jump in as well because we dealt with the same thing with the 28-3 shit. Atlanta wanted Matt Ryan to win double mvps so bad we went away from the running game
Or maybe it was staged for new England to win?
If freeman would’ve just made that block falcons win
they just kept throwing the game away on purpose.
@@jaaifromatl4907he was averaging 7 ypc. He should have had the ball. Fuck that block, that’s one play. It takes more than one play to blow a 25 point lead
Blame Kyle Shanahan
2 things. Pouncey was injured and that hurt. Yes a block was missed and it allowed Clay Mathew’s to get to Mendenhall.
He's not wrong about us getting away from what was working. Bruce Arians gets a lot of credit for his accomplishments after leaving Pittsburgh & deservedly so, but Rashad is not wrong. As a Steelers fan it was frustrating as hell watching offensively us doing the complete opposite depending on the opponents we played. We're matched up against one of the best passing defenses in the NFL that year while Green Bay played against one of the best rushing defenses that year. Defensely it was a bad match up for us especially with Troy not being 100%, and the arrival of Jordie Nelson who was eating up anyone not named Ike Taylor on the outside while Greg Jennings was in the slot (which was the trend that year in the league-number #1 receiver in the slot). Offensively, it was in our favor to run the ball to set up the pass especially with the injuries to Hines Ward & Emanuel Sanders and yet we tried to turn it into a QB duel. Now if this was the regular season have at it, but like Rashad said the SuperBowl was the worst time to try to pull this off. Yeah Rashad fumbled at the worst time, but Ben still threw interceptions in those games that hurt us equally as bad cause those interceptions were points we left on the field.
If your a Steelers fan you know that there was never a game I thought we couldn't win with Roethlisberger at QB, regardless of score or how he played prior. So we was loosing and #7 was engineering a 4th q comeback(like he's done more than anybody not named Brady or Manning) and this MF fumble the ball. Nothing said was false but boi act like that wasn't significant to the outcome. Just say" I f'ed up,players f up" and move on😂
@@christianJennings-np2qjyour 4 qb comeback threw 2 interceptions in the beginning of the game and why as the offensive coordinator whould do opposite that got yall to the big dance .
The thing everyone is forgetting is the Pouncey injury that happened against the Jets in the AFCC game. Doug Legursky played as good as he could have but it was still a significant downgrade to what Pouncey was doing, especially all the pulling plays. On Ben's INT that got ran back it was the NT that hit his arm right as he threw and altered the path of the ball into the defensive back. Rashard likes to bring up the fact the Matthews was unblocked when he hit him in the backfield which caused the fumble but nobody wants to talk about how Ben got hit as he threw which lead to the pick six. You can't have it both ways Rashard. And I think it also goes without saying that the Pouncey injury affected their ability to run block also which might have lead to them wanting to pass more. Who knows but that decision in on Tomlin, not Ben or some secret society who wanted Ben to be the MVP
@@grvmbinoscott7163. It’s called Rigged NFL people need to wake up.
@@steelphantom9105 i know this brother , Jimmy the Greek exposed the sports / entertainment industry a long time ago .
They set the record in a Super Bowl for the fewest rushing attempts by both teams. GB-13 PGH-23. They changed it up for sure.
Mfs in the comments acting like he's capping. Ben is on a pedestal and a finger pointer. Bro was throwing so many niggas under the bus on his damn radio show that shit was a storyline. Mf definitely let the success go straight to his dome. Bro threw 2 picks in the sb like come on 😂
Rashad just still living off of woulda coulda shoulda and hiding behind DEM RAYYCISS claims to deflect from his own lack of accountability
Big facts
The Media plays a big part in how the QB is portrayed. The Jets had 4 fumbles monday. Watch the highloghts they show Zach Wilsons 2. He had almost 100 more yards passing than Herbert and the only highlight you show is him overthrowing and missing players. Then the talking heads go out and say how terrible he is. How he is a bust how he isn't a leader.
Jets defense Smothers all WR's. Herbert cant throw to people who are blanketed. Meanwhile Zach Wilson misses wide open targets routinely.
🤔 wonder why he never talks about James Harrison who called Reshard "fumbling machine" Mendenhall??
Cause he don't want none of Debo lol
You know Y he isn't calling out James Harrison cause James would find him and squash him like a grape...Ben is going to let him talk and bury himself....
Bro I knew something was up with that game plan in the superbowl. Like this is not how we play offense they were trying to make it Ben vs Rogers. Ben was getting his ass kicked so they went back to who they were second half and they almost won.
Big Ben out dueled rodgers right before this Super Bowl, Big Ben won the game at the last second. Rashard fumbled that opportunity away
@@MorningDew85 He didn’t outduel him in the Super Bowl though. We were in a 21-3 hole because Ben through two picks one of which was a pick 6. Even after Mendenhalls fumble Ben had the two minute drill to win and he only got one first down. Let’s see Ben had two turnovers one which also came with 6 points on the same play but Mendenhall was the reason because he had one fumble? Lol
@@sippiboy3024my god man, the early mistakes where corrected and overcame by Ben. This guy FUMBLED ON THE GAME WINNING DRIVE!! It’s not “one fumble” it’s a fumble during a game winning drive Big Ben was known for. Mendenhall was known for fumbling the rock
@@MorningDew85 Man please maybe it’s the coach in me but how do you correct a pick 6? Ben’s turnover put 6 points on the board for the other team a double whammy and another interception. Did the correction take those points back off the board? Or how about this if Ben never threw that pick six would Mendenhalls fumble have mattered?Dont forget Mendenhall is one of the reasons we got back into that game and also scored a touchdown. See when you break down games for teams you realize it’s never the last play that lose a game it’s everything that happened up to that last play.
Bro played football for too many years to not understand that the QB is always the leader and savior during wins, during losses it’s everyone else.
Maaaan I feel for Rashard you can tell that really bothers him.
As a die hard Pittsburgh Steeler fan from Dallas i was devastated when the Steelers lost that Superbowl in my hometown....i wanna send an apology to Reshard mendenhall i use to be that "we would have another ring if that guy didnt fumble" my bad my G. God bless ya!
But we would have had another ring if he didn’t fumble, this dude always with the sour grapes, Big Ben would of won us that chip like he was known for
Big Ben threw a pick six in that game .. strelers wanted to pass vs pass against the packers instead of running the ball
@@cr3292running the ball with the game on the line cost us the game.
@@cr3292and Big Ben overcame all that, can’t overcome this bum fumbling that game away dude
He fumbled in a big spot and cost his team the game in Dallas. Case closed.
As a Cowboys fan, loved watching the Steelers lose a SB in Dallas.
Been a Steelers fan since I was 9 years old. 34 was a dawg in that backfield and he might be right about poor leadership from Ben. But as far as the superbowl the Packers went up 14-0 first quarter and it was 21-10 at half, you can no longer run the ball and take time off the clock when you get behind like that. Turnovers made them get out of the game plan. These fellas understand football better than that.
You're absolutely right, but to piggyback off of Rashard's point was that the Steelers came out throwing the ball, hence the pick 6, where as they should have tried to run the ball down GB's throat, Rashard is saying, hold up why aren't we doing what got us here? But their was an agenda to get Ben the MVP, I see his point as well, but yet and still his fumble was big bc the Steelers had the momentum back and were driving when he fumbled. 🤷🏽♂️
when Double R (gRaping Rothlisberger) called out and AB on his radio show and the steelers organization did not reprimand him was the heel turn moment for AB.
lmao no
Yes...lmao Ben is a douche bag
RM was the closest thing to Jonathan Stewart at the time and i went to Timberline with Jstew i remember playing NCAA with oregon Illinois and WVU man..... the glory days
If fumbling in the Super Bowl but still haven’t gotten over it was a person…. 😂😂😂
Bro still can’t take accountability for fumbling in that super bowl 🤣
Said white dudes aren’t good at football but a white dude caused that fumble bro come on
As a Falcons fan growing up I always loved watching Rashard play and I respected his game both me and my brother. WHEN I SAY “OH IM STANDING ON BUSINESS” THIS VIDEO IS WHAT TF I MEAN.
Standing on business? Dude he is spitting sour grapes, he was known for fumbling, Big Ben was known for winning.
Man Rashard is well spoken, great guest
Someone speaks with a chill tone and minimal slang your quick to believe them
@@user-dp5go8hr6w 😂😂😂
Mendenhall sounds petty to me. You won a superbowl bro, wtf else do you want. He just sounds like he’s crying to me.
Ong
You ain’t lying he holding on to too much lol
I'd love to hear Tomlin's take on this... the idea that someone in ownership decided Ben needed to throw more that game sounds insane to me. Tomlin is the one who can clear this up.
No he can’t. Tomlin doesn’t even gets to pick his own staff. The higher ups do and bring him in to say can you work with him? What Tomlin does best is adjust to the situation at hand. When the Steelers lose a pro bowl player to injury, Tomlin knows how to rally the players to go beyond and win games they shouldn’t.
Tomlin won’t be able to give his take until he is no longer the coach in Pittsburgh for him to talk right now would be career suicide and this coming from a Ravens fan
You believe these crackpots theories? 😂 Tomlin be the first to tell you these dudes are dumb af. Mendenhall just being a petty butthurt loser, won a superbowl and still out here bitchin after all these years.
@@DLOOT11so you’re saying Tomlin got his orders from upstairs and he just did what they said? 😂😂😂😂 mkay right. And I got a statue in New York city I’d like to sale you 🤣
Multiple players who played for the Steelers. Had said the same thing for years when it comes to Big Ben and how the front office treats him compared to the rest of the players. But you love having your head in the sand. Stay a ostrich. Too many former teammates. What they sat around and just made it up? And for the Tomlin part? Name one coordinator not a low level assistant in his tenure that said I came here because of Mike. Name one? Just keep being an ostrich.
Mendenhall fumbled one time Ben Rapistberger threw 2int so I definitely get his frustration
first half interceptions vs late 4th quarter game tying drive fumble. Those 2 things are not the same.
@mikerhem1273 stop it because lost are points lost
Ben got hit by a defender right as he threw which lead to that first INT. The Pouncey injury the game before was a big factor most are forgetting. If he played, more than likely that defender wouldn't have got to Ben but it is what it is and that's football
@@King_Mac80 That's a stupid comment. Kinda seems like Your not really a sports fan because you clearly don't understand the difference between early and late game incidents. The fact that I have to explain this to you is kinda upsetting.
Games are not won in the first half, but they are always lost in the second half.
@mikerhem1273 you most definitely know nothing about sports if you think games can't be won or lost in the 1st half. There's a reason teams in NFL who have a two score or more lead in the first half of games usually win the game. Do you think teams are out leading 2nd half comebacks all the time in the playoffs especially in the Superbowl. You think teams overcome huge 1st half deficits in the SB like the Patriots did over the Falcons on the regular?! No this is a fact the overwhelming majority of teams losing by two or more scores at half in SB usually lose.
This is why I'll always respect Matt Ryan. When we won it was a team win. When we lost he'll always point out the mistakes he made. Even in the Superbowl he didn't care about MVP he wanted to win. Even arguing with Shanahan about not calling run plays That's also what's wrong with the league. Too much emphasis on QB and not the team
Wish Steelers had Matt Ryan
This is exactly how someone acts when they know it’s there fault. Shift the blame, “I only have 15 Carries”, he’s trying to make a much bigger worse guy to make himself no look as bad. Obviously there’s he experienced a lot of pain from the backlash and I would agree ben probably had a big ego ( but all the players who make it that far need it to a degree ). He wants to put the blame on ben and have ben take accountability for a fumble. He wants to say it’s a loss on the whole team, which is true in some aspects. But a fumble is the job of the running back and it’s not like he was getting so many carries that he it increased his chances to mess up. That’s on him and he won’t accept it.
3:55 This man’s whole argument and perception of reality is based off of a movie😂😂😂😂😂
My dog King rocking the World’s Largest Crease 😂
I’m all for hearing out that Ben was a bad leader but this dude is dropping cold ass takes… He’s trying to convince us that the 2008 Steelers defense wasn’t the talking point of the team??? I couldn’t tell you how many times I have heard that Ben was a bum, I have never heard anybody say that the 2008 Steelers defense were overrated 😂
Mason Rudolph development hampered by Big Ben. Kept Steelers hostage for last 6 years of career
One of the main reasons Canada is or OC.
Hell Josh Dobbs lighting it up right now.. we never gave that man a shot because of Ben
@ObaShango7 Facts. Didn't have chance to grow learn
Big Ben earned the right to do it how he saw fit after all he did for the team and city. He don’t get paid to baby sit either, he got paid to win and guess what, job accomplished!!
@MorningDew85 So, being a professional and so called Leader is babysitting. His last 6 years horrible. He is the reason we stuck with Canada
@@MorningDew85But not AB
This is the same guy who fumbled in the Super Bowl and lost it then blamed it on everyone else😂

@crlody3045 aite lil bro
It’s ok Rashard. That fumble was over 10 years ago. Get over it man. He can’t accept it and move on.
Lol STFU pit had the best Wr since Jerry Rice and brought him down to the level of bum ass Ben because they couldn't accept his star power so he has a point . Ben wants all the glory when he was never the most glorious piece
You obviously didn’t watch or your comprehension skills are awful.. its the small group of steeler fans that can’t/don’t let it go and don’t realize that his fumble ISNT the reason they loss. It contributes but it’s not the complete reason
Nah yall weak ass fans can’t every year
Sour Grapes Fumbler must not have heard Ben take the blame for loses all throughout his career. Go back to painting.
Longtime steelers fan here.. I appreciate your services for us rashard. You was a good running back for us. Honestly I don't blame you... I blame Ben.. if we want to blame Ben for the wins.. gotta do it with the losses as well... Ben made a very critical error with that pick 6 , he build a huge hole for us to climb out of
? Bro he was about to do what he’s known for a engineer a game winning drive, fumbles ruined the game. Period

Die hard steelers fan here. Football is a team game. He phucked up, but there were 3 quarters before that fumble. He shouldn't' let this bother him still. Neil O'Donnell had a much much worse SB performance
He fumbled the game away dude

Because Steelers fans like MorningDew85 refuse to blame Ben.
@@printezstromanyes I blame the guy who fumbled, rather then the Great who was about to engineer another signature drive. I will always blame fumbles mendenhall
a lot of hurt is what i’m hearing, pray on it that it’ll leave u 🙌
This is why I love T.J. Watt. The dude does it all, and when they lose, he is the 1st to say he (himself) should have played better.
Noooooo not Big Ben right?? Not the guy who told AB he “has to share the ball” even tho AB is wide open right? Not the Big Ben who settled out of court on sexual assault charges right? Can’t be him are you kidding me? The NFL shortened his suspension from that case for “good behavior” the man is a saint!!!
Yeah not the guy that’s top 6 in all time stats that matter?? Not the guy with the greatest drive and throw in nfl history?? Not the guy that brought massive success and championships to PGH?? Def not that guy
Its the same thing that happened with Asante Samuel when he dropped that interception.
This dude really took a lick from ol Ray. Whatever personal problems he had with Big Ben he’s trying to find any reason to hate on him without coming off as a hater. He’s complaining about running 5 wide against the packers but don’t bring up the OC. Or did Ben draw up the game plan and tell the OC “ok we’re gonna come out gunning! 5 wrs and hurry up offense! And mendenhall better not check into the game while I’m on the field! Then he’s criticizing Ben for things the media were doing. Ben didn’t say we lost because of tomlin! He needs to go! Then he brings up the top 100 NFL players and AB being #2…My dude Ben didn’t compile that list of the top 100 NFL players! Maybe your negativity did more to hurt the team then anything else. Because negativity is contagious and misery enjoys company. You’re talking about AB being 2nd best in the NFL and Ben not even being a top ten qb but at the same time this dude wasn’t even the best RB on the team…I’m surprised Tomlin didn’t ship you out asap because he don’t seem like the type of coach to let a disgruntled player that isn’t even a starter point out what he thinks the problem with the team is. Obviously they were doing something right because of the success they were having. It sounds like he’s blaming Ben for the times they didn’t win and when they did win he’s giving all the credit to the defense. And yes that defense was lit in 08 but give a little credit to the rest of the team. And of course Ben probably had privileges that other players didn’t but he was a seasoned vet and had a good deal of success. This guy was looking at the glass of water being half empty instead of it being half full!
He's talking about how Ben would speak with the media and act around his teammates. He's saying that its insane to blame the loss of the superbowl on him when he had less touches than Ben did incompletions and that Ben has always accepted all the Glory but when its time to accept the blame he puts it on other players. Also his entire point was that they win and lose AS A TEAM. Not as individuals. His point about the superbowl strategy was valid. They went from a run heavy offense to a pass first offense out of nowhere and when it backfired they threw him under the bus. Ben was a great QB but he was barely top 5 in his prime. Also everyone knows the 08 defense carried us to championship. It is literally a top 5 defense of all time.
@@MmaMadman85 Everyone also knows it was the Steelers defense that choked away a double digit lead in the 4th QTR in the Arizona SB and that same defense (who were #1 that year) who got lit up by the Packers a few years later.
Eagles did the same with Jalen Hurts and why they lost.
I’m a diehard Steelers fan and he’s wrong. He wasn’t there before Ben won 2 chips. There were full seasons and off seasons about how people were saying Ben “threw too much”, “didn’t go down when he should”, etc. Nobody was blaming Mendenhall for the SB loss. Ben single handedly won more games than any other Steeler in my lifetime. Ben will be remembered as a Steeler forever. Only hardcore sadly will remember Mendenhall. 🤷♂️
After big Ben's comment's I thought to myself isn't it his job to instill the steelers tradition in the young players on his way out
Every real Steelers fan knows Ben wasn’t a good leader and Mike always put good skilled players around him ! I was not mad when Ben retired! I’ve been a Steelers fan sense I was 9 .
antonio brown made ben a hall of famer lets be real
These podcast convos are exposing how it wasn't all unity in these locker rooms. Lots of players did not like their star teammates w entitlement. Big Ben was NOT respected that much by his teammates and they're letting it be known.
rashard needs to man up. Hes salty he lost the game. had he never fumbled, this interview wouldnt exist
So the team who created the Rooney rule, is racist?.. this guys a bum. Bro cost us an entire Super Bowl and still can’t take ownership
There were always reports about Big Ben's attitude but when he started passing blame around Everytime they lost on his weekly post game show I knew for sure this guy was locker room toxic.
Ben took the blame for losses at the post game podium plenty of times. He did it after losing SB XLV. I also remember him backing up receivers who dropped key passes, like Sanders against Baltimore on thanksgiving ten years ago.
The turning point was when Wallace and Sanders both threw Ben under the bus after leaving Pittsburgh. So of course Ben is gonna start calling out players.
Mendenhall is reaching big time. Ben has never been given all of the credit in Pittsburgh. He just can’t get over fumbling. And most steeler fans don’t remember it as THE fumble. Losing that game was Ben’s two picks, Rodgers making amazing throws, Rashad’s fumble when they were about to take the lead, and Ben not making the game winning drive with two minutes left.
Rashard just can’t get over it.
I'm not necessarily discounting what he's saying, but anyone that actually knows a thing or two about Rashard.. you should be taking everything he says with a grain of salt. Dude has always been sensitive AF and gets defensive easily over nothing.
But you didn't break anything down.
@mkhanman12345 I'll let his latest meltdown speak for itself lmao. I'm not gonna necrodig thru his Twitter and old vids, but they're definitely out there.
Steelers fans today do the same thing with Pickett, coming from a steeler fan
Facts!! And I live in Pittsburgh
Take responsibility for your own actions, that's all.
There's nothing but facts and truth to what Rashard Mendenhall said in this video about the Steeler fans and Big Ben.
When as Terrell Suggs said 7 got away with some sh?t anyone else on the team would have been like Mike Tyson Tupac and Mike Vick ended I dislike him bcz he was put on a pedestal that he didn’t deserve and we know why our skin is not our sin smh
Bro had a critical fumble in the 4th quarter and is pretending like it should be on Ben instead of him because Ben was the "leader"? Wack dude, you been trying to dodge responsibility for that shit since it happened 😂
The NFL puts too much emphasis on the QB. When you watch a game, who do you mostly see? The QB. Even though it starts with the Oline, the WRs have to run good routes, the DBs and LBs have to cover. But you dont really see any of that because of that stupid broadcast view. Then when it comes to contracts, they get all this money, even though if everyone around them suck, they will be terrible. So why arent the guys around them more valuable and visible? Yes the QB has a difficult job, but so does EVERYBODY else on the field. Shoot RBs have to know the same stuff basically but you see they arent important now because QBs have to get paid record numbers.
Because they still want a broader audience traditionally the QB we’re all white which is who they advertised and drew in a ton of white fans look at NFL today in this mobile QB error it’s been terrible honestly
U fumbled the ball! Man up!!!! U cost us Stairway to 7. Why don’t any other player say this? Aka Feelings
Y'all really the 🐐 with this sports podcast shit‼️
So I have an honest question, how isn’t this Tomlin’s fault? We’re always told how great of a leader Tomlin is, but all of this happened under his watch as leader. He allowed AB to grow his ego, he allowed Ben to have his ego, his quote “We’ll tolerate you until we can replace you.” speaks volumes because to name as long as you seemed irreplaceable he wasn’t going to coach you as you needed to be coached, tell you what you needed to hear no matter what bad side effects it caused🤷♂️
You sound like a 🤡... AB can do whatever he want he was the best... Ran him off right into Tom Brady arms
The reason it isn't Tomlin's fault is because he's one of the few black head coaches in the league. Any white Steeler fan who criticizes Tomlin in any way is automatically called a racist so let's just quit beating around the bush and tell it like it is
COMPLETELY agree with him on this. I always thought Ben was a little bit of a fraud and for some reason nobody ever talks about the two sexual assault charges he got away with. Rashad did his thing I-L-L!!
That’s all anyone talks about, but pretend you’re spitting my guy
That’s honestly not how I remembered his career. Never thought RM played to his potential and he still fumbled. He wasn’t the only reason we lost that game tho obviously
Mendenhall was Beast
As a Titans fan, this is exactly how I’m feeling since Levis has been playing in regards to the narratives I’m the media and narratives online. it’s crazy annoying.
He just trying to get everyone to forget that he cost the Steelers a Superbowl.
Right? The city is racist, the fans, Big Ben, this dude is ridiculous
Marshawn and Rashad need a pod
Whenever Sweet asks a good question, the RR cohosts answer for the guest.
Rashard is upset that he fumbled away the super bowl.
Tomlin is 100% shielded from criticism. He was handed Cowher’s team. He has underwhelmed since.
I always been puzzled why more players don’t publicly feel this way.
The whole team can be dope but the most coddled and protected position(QB) gets all the credit for wins. I mean of course qb is an important position but no football team has ever won solemy based off only qb play.
You need a total great team to do that in football. When’s the last time a defender has gotten a national tv segment for getting 10 tackles or a o lineman for preventing 0 sacks?
But I qb can have a mid game and get the whole package just because the team wins.
Lane Johnson gets talked about every game not allowing sacks. Fred Warner gets PLENTY of credit. But the ball is in the QBs hands for half the game. That’s why they get most of the credit
Man sound like salty and i used to like this man
I know a salty athlete when I see one
Great perspective from Mendenhall’s side
I could understand complaining about not getting the ball but god damn when you got it you fumbled it!
Ben Roethlisberger was leading the team to a comeback in that superbowl, what caused the steelers to lose was Mendenhall fumbling the ball. Sure ben turned the ball over early but he was making his wrongs right and over coming adversity. Mendenhall was the key momentum stopper in that game. That loss falls on his shoulders
I don't even like the steelers but Mendenhall was way underrated, and he's speaking the truth lol
No the hell he was not. He was a Flawed running back. His body type was that of a power back trucking bruiser who runs straight up the middle. yet his bitch ass hated contact at the line so he was always bouncing his inside runs to the outside without the lead blocker. Then came the stupid ass spins. Man had the body to run people over but would rather Juke spin hurdle on a thin ass 180 pound cornerback. His whole game was weak
Real Steeler fans know the real. This man is still emotional after all these years
Yes Ben is...total douche bag
Rashard, is telling the truth about this stuff!!! Thank you for interviewing Rashard. He knows about what is going in Pittsburgh....
anybody actually taking tha fumbling machine serious , obvious ain’t a Steelers fan . mendenhall ain’t do a damn thang for this organization, raw room do better
Mendenhall without shaming or slamming eloquently exposed the culprit and the truth lol
Philip was the best Qb out of that bunch.. playing for the chargers has its drawbacks.. its almost like eli’s family knew chargers would never be allowed to succeed..
