Re: Ridley ruled out Sunday
I think most of us would agree with you, but it's possible that the RBBC system is being used to help to keep him fresher down the stretch.
Let guys like Blount and Bolden take the majority of the hits. Ridley is obviously the best pure RB we have, and will be important as the season winds down the stretch run.
In all reality, haven't the majority of Blount's carries occurred during the second half anyway? The past 2 games were 23-3 and 30-13 with 6 minutes left. Those aren't the kind of situations where Ridley is needed too much in my opinion.
He obviously isn't receiving the same number of carries as last year, but that's Belichick's decision, so we have to trust that it's for a reason.
The only disappointing about Ridley's season is they are not feeding him the rock. The guy's been good when they've handed him the ball expect for the one lost fumble.
