Starter - Ridley
Change of pace - Vereen
Back Up - White
Fourth String - Bolden
That's how I view the RB situation.
The first down run around our own 45 to start the first was an example of Ridley's superb leg drive through contact. He drives through the process, knocking a LB on his ass on contact after hitting the ground himself. He carries momentum with his sometimes upright running style and tends to fall forward.
He is easily the best pure runner we have at the moment. The problem is his God Damn hands. One tackler on one arm and a second on the ball got it loose after a knee...but God Damn It guy, hold onto the Fu©king rock.
White looked better than average/useful tonight. He's got some wiggle and some drive. Like this draft pick.
Where can I vote for Anybody But Ridley?
Not only does he have ball security "issues", but he simply does not have the vision of a starting RB
on a SB contender. He is constantly - and I do mean constantly - missing where the best avilable
holes are; he instead runs into the pile, and when you have these aforementioned "issues", that is
an unacceptably lethal combination.

I hope we don't get rid of Bolden. He isn't a superstar in the waiting but he is a quality backup and proven he can play in the league unlike some of these rookies.

"We do have a decision with regard to whether to have a position for a KR who wouldn't make the team as a position player. For now, Finch and Boyce are possible for that role."
MG, there were 13 kickoffs tonight. 12 of them went unreturned. The NFL has effectively neutered the electrifying kickoff runbacks of the past 7 decades. It sucks as far as I'm concerned, but I'm and OLD NFL fan and not worth Goodell's time obviously. It's all about offense now.Hes relegating special teams to the museum.
As a longshot, Boyce could make the roster as a developmental player who is almost always inactive.
