Pat's to Cut Ridley?

Hold you horses or stop the presses. That seems far, far fetched to me. When pigs fly. I'll believe it when I see it.

ESPN Boston does not have Stevan Ridley making the 53-man roster in their latest projection.

We'd be stunned if Ridley gets cut, as he's clearly the team's best inside running option provided he doesn't fumble. But the projection comes from ace beat man Mike Reiss, who is not prone to hyperbole. Ridley played just 11 snaps in Friday night's third preseason game, and did lose a fumble in the second preseason game. Reiss has the Patriots keeping four running backs on the active roster (Shane Vereen, James White, Brandon Bolden, Jonas Gray) and one on the practice squad (Roy Finch).

What a feeding frenzy that would set off amongst the other NFL clubs. I can't see it happening, can you? Can any of you?

I can, HC is a stickler for not giving the ball away. He has had the fumbling issue for 2years now, if he still drops the ball, I can see him saying Bye, this is another statement by him.

Yeah I can believe that. They benched him last year cause of fumbling and if you have to bench him again this year for the same thing that would actually be worse than cutting him. At least when you cut him you can fill that roster spot with someone else that can help you win.

ESPN Boston has now done an about face and is projecting Ridley to be a part of the Pat's final 53.
