Ridley's performed .
So Ridley has more yards than Johnson has catches, at least, in the games that count, right?

I call B.S.
Let's review:
1) One player breaks his contractual obligations, goes AWOL for 7 weeks from his "brothers" and calls the owner a liar - - Bru doesn't say a negative word.
2) Another player comes in, takes a pay CUT, by all accounts works his butt off, has some trouble learning a new system, then comments how impressed he is with this offense after one game - Bru criticizes THAT.
Please.
If anyone has to raise his game it's the "football analyst".

Did Ridley even get on the field Monday night? I don't recall seeing him at all.
1. Show me quotes of Mankins calling anyone a "liar." Must have missed them.
2. Focus or don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Stallworth had 1 catch in his first game, Caldwell had 2 and Gabriel didn't have any...if you want to compare Chad's first game to theirs.I don't have a football background but I find it hard to believe that a player who was targeted weekly by the opposition but still was able to put up top level stats should have this much difficulty producing in our system.
Is the system so difficult that only under the radar receivers (all the smurfs over the past decade) and one freakishly talented player (Moss) were able to grasp it? Heck, Caldwell, Doug Gabriel, and Donte Stallworth were all able to make some level of progress in this system - quite early in their stints as Patriots.
I refuse to believe that a player as dedicated and passionate about football can be so unable to muster any production. It never seems to add up.
By the way, I wish Tedy would have gotten into the ear of a guy like Adalius Thomas. It might even be better if Tedy sat down with Chad and said these words to him privately…but going off like this in a column to air his opinion seems a little too personal and even unprofessional.
Mankins rips Patriots for mistreatment | ProFootballTalk
“Right now, this is about principle with me and keeping your word and
how you treat people. This is what I thought the foundation of the
Patriots was built on,” Mankins said. “Apparently, I was wrong. Growing up, I was taught
a man’s word is his bond. Obviously this isn’t the case with the
Patriots.”
Ouch. This one could take a while.

Ridley sounds like an F'ing idiot. In his wildest wet dreams, he might become Rashard Mendenhall - great talent and production but a bone head who doesn't know what he tweets/says could be construed as.

So he was specifically talking about Kraft?
Mankins rejoined the team......and dominated that 1st game....despite taking a pay cut himself. Lame example

Actually, how often does a player or former player talk about another player's "business?"
