Has any reporter mentioned anything about Ridley in regards to fumbling yet? (positive or negative)

the notion of running back by committee is only feasible if a player does not step up for a feature back role.......if bolden provides that, he will be a feature back.

and by feature back, I mean someone who rushes for 1000 yards

I'd say more like RBBC is necessary if you don't have a feature back. Even if you have a player *capable* of being one doesn't mean it's necessarily a good idea to *make* him one.

Dude hasn't even played in a preseason game yet slow down. Undrafted FA love here is kinda ridiculous sometimes. I really hope he plays well though.

The amount of UDFA love last year wasn't even close to what Bolden and Francis are getting now.

And rightfully so. The highlight of last years crop was silvestro and tarpinian. Bolden, and Francis have shown more capability in one week of training camp than those guys did all year last season.
On the other hand I was all on board the Fletcher signing the previous year.

The Patriots run a RB committee. Despite talent, it's unlikely we'll have an outright #1 on the chart who qualifies as fantasy sleeper.

I was going to "fix" your post up for you real nicely, but thought twice out of respect for my elders

Is that really what you expect to happen?
