ImNotSoIgnorant Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Is Ridley no longer a RB2? First week a fluke because of his fumbles, week two pats forced to throw more or just crappy o-line blocking for Ridley? OR is Ridley just not all that great and down he goes to the bench/flex spot? I'm thinking he'll bounce back, particularly as Gronk and then amendola come back and the pats can have more passing, thus less pressure on the RB and their o-line.

Team Archer Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 You answered your own question. Teams know now more than ever to focus on 2 people on the pats now...Edelman and Ridley. You contain those two and you force their rookies to make plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) I don't think anyone on that offense is worth starting unless your name starts when an E and ends with delman until they get some of their cripples back..

Eagles28 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 ...name starts when an E and ends with delman... I know, I know! You are hinting at Edelman. Got that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 With Gronk coming back for week 3, things are about to change... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobwaa Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Gronk coming back helps for sure but who's to say how long he lasts? He is recovering from a lot. Wouldnt surprise me if hes not right for a few weeks....or if he misses more time at some point. Amendola is made of glass, rookies can't catch and Edelman is as fragile as Amendola.... he'll be on the shelf by week 5 at this rate. Ridley's value was always elevated because he wasnt the focus.... That being said the Pats will go 11-5 and Tommy Boy will whine and pout and still go home to Gisele. Hate that guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Link? This is Belichick we're talking about here. Ya, per Rotoworld they're "hopeful" he can come back this week but "definitely" is back for Week 4. I think he won't play this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osu1322 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I have a feeling Ridley is either going to become trade bait for my team or be riding the pine til he has a decent game. I'm not sweating too much as I started Lacy over him this week.... Going forward NE has had 2 ugly wins and all that counts in the number in the W column.

wpayers Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Keep in mind the Ridley of 2013 won't be the Ridley of 2012 for the very same reasons that we'll most likely see a drop in Brady's numbers. The loss of Welker/Hernandez/Vereen/Lloyd coupled with the 1st yr WRs' inexperience with the NEP system will allow defenses to simply jam the middle of the field. Gronk's return will help Ridley but not enough. Hindsight will drive you nuts but we should have seen this coming. The Amendola cool-aid was just too intoxicating.

rellen13 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Gronk's return will help Ridley Hughly, as he is not only a threat to defense's in the passing game, but is also a very important part of the run blocking scheme. I expect Ridley's production to return to close to normal after Gronk gets back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the last straw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardway Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 If Ridley keeps fumbling or cannot get it going, and Brandon Boldon gets healthy, does he get the shot? Got to be better than Blount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avernus Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 he's absolutely killing one of my teams In my 2qb league last week he and wilson clearly cost me a win...the combo of peyton and brees was not enough for me....I may be in trouble regardless of the fact that I drafted 6 rbs...
