Hey buddy, thought about you when they finally drafted big john... how ya feel about it? and aint it funny hearing jerry say he held his breath with those lighter quicker guys might get big boy'd in the run game.
I love Ridgeway. Not sure he's a 1 tech, though, his skillset points more toward 3 tech. However, at his height, if he can be trained to play lower, he might be. When he rises at the snap, he loses the leverage battle, which you cannot do at the 1. That's why most NT's are 6-0 to 6-3. You let those nasty OG's get underneath you, and your strength is negated and you're not going anywhere.
McLendon was a very similar player, and he learned how to do it.
