Ridley would be a nice pickup.

 

I wouldn't mind him.

 

He would be a great pick up if he could hold onto the damn football

 

Just let a little air out of it...

 

I'd rather them sign Moreno, if they are going the injury reclamation route.

 

Its just due diligence.Its good to have alternatives after the draft if we dont draft a RB ...which I hope we do.

 

Really, like this move to bring him in and take a look. He is the type of RB that we need to complement Miller. Yes, he is coming off injury but had been pretty healthy in prior years. Fumbles are a big of a concern but nothing major as he didn't fumble at all last year.

If we sign Ridley, I'd look at our RB unit as pretty dynamic. Miller the game breaker, Ridley the short yardage back, and Williams as versatile 3rd back.

 

I don't mind this at all. Surprised people don't like him.

 

Yeah, I'm not sure what the big deal is.

He's a solid power back that fits the scheme well and compliments Miller.

 

Ridley would be exactly the kind of RB this team lacks.

 

On a team friendly deal, I have no objections. Better in pass protection than Miller is, so he could be a 3rd down back. My preference is to draft someone in the 3rd or 4th round.

 

Why not bring back Moreno then if we're looking at an injured RB? Moreno > Ridley

 

Stevan Ridley averages 5.3 yards (221 yards, 42 carries) from shotgun in his career. He's always rushed for better yardage out of lone setback as opposed to I Formation. There's more to it than that, but I think he fits.

 

Moreno has been injured a lot during his career. Ridley's one had one year dealing with an injury. I do think it will be a similar deal to the one Moreno got last but a little cheaper. He'll prob want a 1 year deal to bet on himself then bank in next year.

Grab Ridley.

Leave Draft to Address WR/CB/OG/ILB.

 

Not that I don't like him just like Moreno a little better. Would be happy with either and Crabtree Signing.

 

I'm a Ridley fan but I'll pass, I want one of the top two backs in the draft.

 

Yes please...

Cost nothing, 1 year deal.....he brings what they need desperately back there on 3rd and short yardage....

Oh and it spells the end of Vag Feet......

 

Exactly. Ridley isn't a bad pickup, but he's the lesser of the two options, IMO. Moreno is also a better receiver. edit: and blocker.

 

And Moreno knows the offense and players already.

 

I just don't like anyone who has played for the patriots!

Lol, I get your fanhood. But, give me a player who has been part of a Winning Organization any day.

 

Good physical runner. Lacks top-end speed. Reminds me a bit of Ronnie Brown near the end of his time here. Similar size and thickness.

While I've said a lot about Gurley and Gorden over the last several days, I don't think the coaches or the front office is very big on the idea of drafting a RB early--hell, nobody really is. A guy like Stevan Ridley could help Miami quite a bit late in games and in goal line situations.

I'd be on board.

 

The team wants speed all over the offense, Moreno is not fast he's a steady performer. But I think the team wants to bring in more players who can produce explosive plays on their own. That way, no matter the substitution packages we continually roll players out there that can break big plays.

Sound familiar to anyone? Keep em coming as far as I am concerned. Speed kills, so lets murder our opponents.

 

Weight / 40 time for recent Patriots RBs:


250 / 4.59 - Lagarrette Blount
220 / 4.66 - Brandon Bolden
220 / 4.66 - Stevan Ridley
202 / 4.47 - Kevin Faulk
220 / 4.48 - Laurence Maroney

 

I like this. He's a good runner with good vision and he's coming from a team that wins. (Cheating) Maybe he can give some info about the Pats offense too. ;)

 

Stevan Ridley Visiting.

Kind of meh, on Ridley, not sure if there is a thread for this already. Is so, mods please delete.
Anyway......thoughts on Ridley?

Ridley at Jets today looking for mo money.

 

He would probably pick jets over phins. No competition over there.
