Super Nomario said:You might be right. I think if they carry 6 DT to start the year they'll trim the ranks some when guys get healthy. I can't see that many DT sticking all year (especially since they rarely contribute on STs).
I agree. Once they have 4 guys they can rely on to consistently be on the active 45, then at least 1 of these guys is gone if not 2
Super Nomario said:I think Ridley is this year's Spikes - a guy who's on the outs (does anyone think the Pats will re-sign him beyond this year?) but still provides enough value that it would be kind of dumb to cut him.
It really depends on how this plays out. I cant put the odds on it but there is certainly a chance that Ridley reaches his potential and can put up 1,200 yards again but does it with maybe just a fumble or two. Then if they really feel as though his fumble issues are solved based on the games and what they see in practice, then I wouldnt be shocked to see them resign him whatsoever. If you think back to Faulk, he had some fumbling problems and I believe his rate is much higher than Ridley's considering he had a lot fewer touches than Ridley had, but Bill stuck with him.
