Video: Letting Ridgeway go was a mistake

[Bagman]

John Ridgeway. Vanilla Gorilla. White Dynamite. The Unblockable One. The Alabaster Disaster. The Beige Rage. This dude has 5 nicknames and 4 career tackles. The ultimate JAG. PASS !!!!

 

[Stash]

I didn't hear that. Players can quickly develop a reputation.

I think it was the week before when Washington played Minnesota. May have cost them a chance at a comeback.

 

[Carson]

He’s learning for Allen and Payne. It’s definitely beneficial for his game

If you have not seen Ridgeway body slam Damien Williams go look it up. Love the attitude and i'll take the penalty all day.

Really?

Super Bowl. Three seconds left.
The Kansas City Chiefs are down by six.
They have the ball on the six yard line after failing to run it in three times. Dallas has stuffed their run game three times in a row.
Mahomes takes the snap and is ready to throw the TD to win.
Ridgeway plays for Dallas and body slams the QB, which would have been a sack and ended the game.
But now it is an unnecessary roughness call and first down on the three.

Care to revisit that all day comment, Pete Carroll?

I agree it was a mistake to lose him the way they did. There were other guys on the roster they could have snuck onto the practice squad. Ridgeway is not much right now but I think he will turnout to be better than Bohanna and Gallimore in a year or two. He is going to be a guy who will clog up the middle. If Washington picked him up with the guys they have in the middle, there is probably something to him.

That proves his greatness...body slamming a RB.

The fact that Josh Ball pushed Ridgeway 10 yards across the field in camp will now be ignored because of this video clip.

Ridgeway said on twitter that he double dog dares Josh Ball to lose 100 pounds and come up to DC and face him man to man. Ridgeway guaranteed to body slam Josh Ball...on the condition that he weigh in under 240.

When asked why the Georgia OL dominated him last year, he said they cheated:

Ridgeway
"One guy would start blocking me, then another guy would slam into me from the side. The 1st guy would then kick out and block a LB. In Arkansas that is not a legal play. I was gonna break their necks but they wouldn't stop pushing me backwards."

It was a dumb penalty that gave them a first down and could have cost you a game

I doubt he’s as good as you think
I watched him in college
Nice run stuffer but brings nothing in pass game
He has 4 solo tackles this season
But he got on sports Center lol

Ridgeway tweeted you to the Cowboys and Trysten Hill for keeping Hill and cutting Ridgeway.

Ridgeway
HAha...I averaged 14 snaps per game for the past 3 weeks. Trysten.

Trysten Hill
I just played 25 snaps for the AZ Cardinals.

Ridgeway
OK, my bad.

Hill
Let's be friends...You can come to AZ and well'll compete in midget QB tossing.

Ridgeway
I can toss Tyler Murray.

Hill
No, but there were some 5th graders dressed to look like Kyler; although they are taller than him. We can pay them $20 and they'll let us toss them...

For $100 they dress like a RB and let you body slam them.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Single most overhyped guy I've seen in 20 years on these boards. It's unbelievable.

No thank you. He's the type of guy who pulls a Randy Gregory at a critical moment in an important game. Had another boneheaded penalty against the Vikings.

 

[tyke1doe]

Honestly don't think it was malicious. He was trying to get damien off his feet to make the tackle.

Sorry, but you can't pick up a player and slam him to the ground. This is not WWE.

[America's Cowboy]

This is exactly why I was cool with cutting this knucklehead.

His temper is what got McCarthy fined. And if the Cowboys get fined next year, they lose a draft pick.

Ridgeway is a knucklehead.

Not only that, he doesn't fit our scheme.

SMH!!! That's exactly the type of fire inside at DT that we've been lacking for over a decade. It's the coaches' jobs to mold that anger into positive performances on the field.

 

[Runwildboys]

It's unnecessary. Why get penalized?

And then celebrate it like you're in a cage match.

 

[Risen Star]

To me he looks like the most dominant NT of the next decade.

 

[Risen Star]

Sam Williams did it a few weeks ago and you considered getting the image tattooed on your shoulder.

Sure looked malicious to me, brother. While the guy was still on the ground in pain, Ridgeway starts flexing.
