Going over some numbers this morning, and after looking over the stats for the first two preseason games, there are obviously a lot of people intrigued by what we've seen from runningback Stevan Ridley.

I broke down all of Ridley's rushing attempts for later use, but I thought I'd also include this breakdown for anyone out there who wants to take a closer look at what the rookie's done through two games.
