Just a Coupla Thoughts:

[Havic]

Ridgeway needs a year in the weight room, practice squad player imo.

4. Bland is a starting CB. Dude can play. He and Diggs.

I really liked what Bland did. Looks really good. However, he is not the starting CB across from Diggs. That is still Anthony Brown.
Bland may have many rookie mistakes going up against a starting team such as Brady and his WR's. Against Burrow and Chase as well.

He needs time still. But he really does look good. Seems to always be in the right position where he is supposed to be.

 

[jwitten82]

So the 178th pick in the 5th round doesn't look like an All-Pro just 4 months after the draft? Slacker.

There was a poster on this board that said he watched tape and didn't see much difference between Ridgeway and Davis lol

1. No, we still don't have a starting quality NT on the roster. I tried to watch Ridge closely in last game, and from what I saw, he is purely and simply too slow for the NFL. He has zero burst off the snap.

And when we tried to UT's(Under Tackles) at the same time, SEA ran right thru the middle.

2. I'm not sure we have an NFL quality backup QB on the roster. I sure didn't see it.

3. LOoooooooooover our RB's. Both of 'em.

4. Bland is a starting CB. Dude can play. He and Diggs.

5. Our OL needs the guys who were sitting out. They blew. No holes, no protection.

6. OMG, finally, a S!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank bog they didn't listen to these boards, where so many do not comprehend moving a college CB to S. Dude can play.

Ridgeway will be ok. He has some nasty. Pump the breaks on Bland. He was playing scrubs.

 

[conner01]

Looked to me like he was pushed around a bit.

He will add strength over the offseason and hopefully make that dramatic first to second year improvement....which I'm very much hoping for from OO and Bo this year.

It’s amazing what a full season and off season can do for these guys. But also a full season of watching, practicing and learning is really important.

 

[Cebrin]

All hands on deck, we really having a glaring hole at LT.

What's new?

He tracks WR's like a pro, but doesn't turn his eyes to the QB or ball. Flag machine if he doesn't clean that up.

Okay. What is the difference between Ridgeway and Davis?

From fan favorite to too slow for the nfl. Lol yall know how to hype guys in the off-season like no other

The glaring hole at LT!

 

[john van brocklin]

It's what we do.
We ought to have a pet cat zone, haha

 

[jwitten82]

Lol Davis size and speed separate them big time. I don't think that poster was you, was it playboi?!?!

 

[OGCowboy]

Only reason Ridgeway is here is he’s Jerry’s pet hog...So it doesn’t really matter if the kid is any good or not.

 

[stilltheguru]

The huge swing from one extreme to the other is funny. I was the main guy saying ridge wasn't winning that stating spot but he hasn't shown he can't play in the NFL

It's what we do.
We ought to have a pet cat zone, haha

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Nope it someone else.
Ridgeway not having speed like Davis is true. Ridgeway is a natural bull rusher to me. He can push anybody backwards, but when to comes to working his way around a guy...he struggles.

Who is the "Dude can play" in item number 6?

 

[kskboys]

Ridgeway needs a year to develop but you have to admit that Bohannon looks like a different player. 1 tech is the weakness of the defense so I agree with you.

I like Bo a bit. Not sure he's starter quality, though.

 

[kskboys]

So the 178th pick in the 5th round doesn't look like an All-Pro just 4 months after the draft? Slacker.

Doesn't look like it to me, no. I saw him get pushed back way too often at the snap. At times it was when he stood up, losing leverage, but I didn't see him get a ton of push.

Not sure why his draft status matters anymore. At this point, it's about whether he can play at this level.

 

[kskboys]

Who is the "Dude can play" in item number 6?

Moomoo.

All due respect i think you guys may have put yourselves in position to be disappointed about Ridgeway ...
Especially with linemen, usually late round picks like that take much more developmental time to all adjusted to the nuisances of the NFL level.

- Unless it's far more highly regarded, prominent prospect such as a Vita Vea or maybe Jordan Davis, ,, late bloomers are not gonna usually
hit the ground running ..

- i was probably Bohanna's biggest critic at season's end. But he was showing me a much more improved player who was
moving down the line and shooting gaps as he had never done before in any game last year.
In fact i critized him for always being on the ground and being moved out from side to side whenever he was in there.

-Only thing Bohanna had going for him, is for one so mammoth in size, he actually moves very well, and has pursuit range.

- But a full year of game experience, a strong offseason program and further coached up could have did wonders for Quinton.
The same may likely have to be said about Ridgeway... but unlike Bohanna, we may not have the luxury of placing him on
the practice squad for some team likely swooping him up off waivers or pouching him off our practice squad.

W/ all due respect, we are simply analyzing what we see at this point, and looking for signs. I'm not disappointed at all, I've never expected much. I believe you're misreading me badly, I'm more interested in evaluation and assessment than predictions.
