Re: Raiders discussion
Ridley will not become the feature back anytime soon, until he understands how to read blitz pickup and how to play out of playaction.
Every time he has been in there, it has been a run play, and that's how it will be for a while.
In Gronk's first year, he completely whiffed on a blitz pickup and only Fred Taylor's presence of mind to drop out of a dumpoff route in a split second saved Brady from being seriously injured on a safety blitz that was completely unimpended. I remember that play clearly, but not which game, though.
2. Will Ridley get a shot at being the feature back.
