And that's relevant to a discussion of Ridley how, exactly?

And yes, while they may have been bad decisions, it appears we had one of the worst defenses in the league with them and we'll continue to have one of the worst defenses in the league without them.

Completely agree. Ridley is awesome. You can just tell that he will be a huge playmaker going forward.

We need to start him now.

I do find this interesting especially as there were half the board plus saying cut/trade both e.t.c for a good 2 years now

Anyone else notice how Riddley was tearing the Bills up, we were driving, CBS even showed that Ridley was something like 5 for 35...And after that I don't think they went back to him. Really leaves you scratching your head there.

when he went up the middle and got 8 plus yds before the last guy brought him down... he would have been gone if not for the last guy that barely got a hold of his leg to trip him up and down him

Safety isn't the only issue this team has. This thread brings up one of the other legit issues.

Yup. That's exactly what BOB did in the Jets playoff game last year. BJGE was doing well and he benched him. It baffled me then, and baffles me now.

it was always "give it to LawFirm" I am sick of BJGE

I want Vereen healthy and on the same page w/ the offense and capable of playing so that we can either trade Lawfirm and activate Faulk or is that a bad move?

It's not a matter of BOB not knowing "how to call good run plays". It's more of an issue of BOB not knowing WHEN to call running plays.

He completely abandons the run for long stretches when games are going well and when they are going bad and it is maddening.
