Running Backs

[BigKen]

It's not the overall number of fumbles. More importantly it's when he fumbles. He tends to do it at critical points in a game or when the team is steamrolling after a bad start. Those bad timing fumbles highlight a problem.

You know that Belichiock and Ivan Fears have done what they can to ebb the flow, what has Ridley done? Has he worked on positioning the ball close to his body? Has he adopted a crossover plan that puts his left hand and fore arm over the ball? Has he done specific weight work to strengthen the right hand and arm?

From what I've gleaned in this preseason, Ridley doesn't appear to have made any significant progress. This is a contract year and if he gives it up even three times, it's going to cost him dearly.

Ridley averaging 1 yard per carry. Why is Bolden not getting any touches?

Fair enough, the O-line looked good this week and so did Ridley.
Now Bolden on the other hand..... zero yards on 4 carries - Jonas Gray is practicing on the practice squad and is licking his chops checking out Bolden's performance.....

Bolden looked exactly like maroney yesterday

Bolden grew out his dread locks.................now his running is dreadful. He an Lafell should be holding hands as they walk down Route 1.

We play KC tomorrow. This may be Boldens last game.
Ridley is waiting too long for his block to develop. He needs to take what is given and go.
The O-line is collapsing - often after sufficient time to run has been given. The yards he is getting are only because the defense is teeing off - we are not keeping the defense honest with the run game. They can ignore and still make the stop. An occasional 10 yard run makes his stats look better but really the defense does not need to respect the run if the RB just stands there running around in the backfield.....

Ridley getting hurt has gotten Gray on the field but hasn't gotten him significant touches.
Ridley has saved Boldens job.
Where is White? Did BB draft him just to sit on the bench?

"The Law Firm" is still an FA. What about brining him back. He was never a spectacular runner, but if you needed a yard, he would get it. Plus, at least in NE, he never fumbled.

We know what "lawfirm" is. We don't know what Gray and White are (sounds like a joke?)
We are already paying Gray and White! Just hand them the fucking ball!!!!!
