It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The first time I saw Woodhead play last year, literally within 1 to 2 plays, I decided he would be my binky. Of course a few players later, he was EVERYONE'S binky thanks to his performance.
Ridley has convinced me with his first run tonight. I didn't know much about him other than that he was a captain from LSU and stayed for his senior year. I vaguely knew he was the "power" back of our two draftees, while Vareen was the "Faulk-ish" back. But I didn't realize how much speed he had, and his first play showed more wiggle and vision that Maroney ever did.
Every year it seems a 2nd or 3rd round rookie RB explodes for some team after he was drafted with little fanfare. I rarely have such gut reactions, but watching Ridley play makes me feel like he could have a very good year.
Benny better watch his back.
Meanwhile the captain and crew are back reading their Street & Smith draft mags and muttering how the kid from Okefenokee U is just so much better than Tom Brady, who should be peremptorily cut. The captain's ire was enormous for months, over "wasting" draft picks on Ridley and Mallett.
There is about 8 mix matched threads dumped into this thing.
