It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Meh, of course it's personal. no matter how many times you say "it's a business," it's always personal when someone dumps on you. The Pats are cold, pure business - they wouldn't waste the time pretending to be interested in Ridley after his injury/contract expiration. Some organizations probably would, even if they knew they wouldn't re-sign the guy.
A lot of ex-Patriots seem to feel this way. Don't blame them.
I'm sure he doesn't flash around his Super Bowl 49 ring obnoxiously all the time. I think that has the same team logo as the one that "trashed" him.
So should I put him down for 5 carries and...54 yards?Ridley vs the Raiders 31st ranked run defense: 5 carries for.... 4 yards.
I liked Ridley a lot when he was here, ..... Hearts and flowers are not to be expected.........................
As @fnordcircle said, it was Maroney. He pioneered the dancing style that LeVeon Bell has now made popular.
Ridley was a very decisive runner, getting over 1,200 yards and 12 TD's his first year starting. He had great power and was a pretty sure thing in short yardage/goal line situations. Injuries derailed a once promising career.
We should have kept that budding star Akiem Hicks a few moons back I am sure BB is kicking himself. We would have had a Solid D with Hicks right now he's worth every penny he got.
When you fumble a lot. You're not better than the other player who hasn't fumbled. Michel getting twisted around doesn't count, just like I don't count Ridley's fumble when he got knocked out by Pollard.He wasn't talking ****. And honestly despite not having done anything since that injury, he'll probably find a way to torch us Sunday.
I liked Ridley when he was with us. He was actually pretty good. Better than Sony Michel has been thus far.
his total so far this year is 60 yardsSo should I put him down for 5 carries and...54 yards?

Besides, Sony Michel already has more yards than Ridley had in his first season.

...because his wittle weelings wur huwt."Ridley indicated the Patriots did not contact him after his contract expired at the end of the 2014 season."
Okay, so what's the problem other that sour grapes. I was on a contract job once and was doing a great job and expected to be extended or even hired on permanently but when my contract was up, I was unceremoniously led out of the building with my personal belongings.
It happens. Contracts expire and the Pats were well within their rights not to call you back.
Sony has twice as many carries as Ridley had as a rookie.
Averages almost 1 less YPC.
Has only 1 fumble (as did Ridley in half the carries) though it was on the twisty leg play.
I’d say they are similar though I prefer Sony’s ball security much more....shoot I just jinxed him.
