Time to pick up Blount...
Ridley owners take heart, just reported that Vereen has a broken bone in his wrist, is having surgery and will be out 4-6 weeks.
You beat me to it PhiCin. Darn and I like my title so much better.
One wonders if it is allowed to now use a blount object to win.....teehee see what i did there....
Dez has a sprained foot. X-rays were negative but an MRI is likely coming. Expect him to be questionable at best for week 2.
Gabbert out.

I wouldn't waste my time if I were you. 7 carries for 15 yards and no targets in the passing game. Blount is worthless. I bet Ridley served his little one game ban and comes back full force
efactor
Coming at you
Not worthless, especially if Ridley puts the ball on the ground again.
Not a fan of Blount at all but he has some skills and Belichect hates fumblers................
He may be out more than game two the rumor mill now says.

That may be true, but my money is still on Ridley securing that job.

Like he secured the ball?

Are you saying that you think it's Blounts time to shine now?

Just making a ball-job analogy. Ridley will have to secure one if he wants to secure the other.

To be fair, 9 other RBs fumbled this weekend, and 2 of them actually lost 2 fumbles. Ridley put it on the ground twice as well, but NE recovered one of them.
The other dudes fumbling weren't all chumps either. Morris lost one and I believe dropped another that Wash picked up. Doug Martin and CJ Spiller both fumbled too.
Ridley has a career 5 fumbles on 377 carries before Sunday. Only 2 of them were lost. His week 1 performance certainly wasn't on par with his career numbers

Not disagreeing with you, I think Ridley will be starter and used heavily next week. That being said though, if he fumbles one or more next week, Belichek will bench his ass for good. He is that vindictive
Yep PhiCin and ER he'll be right back in the starting backfield this week but as PhiCin said he'd better not put the ball on the ground again Sunday.
