I like both.

Washington absolutely abused Cowboys 2017 2nd round pick Awuzie back when they played in the bowl game in 2017

Calvin Ridley measurment came in Very unimpressive yesterday.

He is a solid route runner with good hands, but the underwear olympics could hurt his stock.

He came in Real slender at 189, among the smallest hands 9 1/8", among the shortest arms (only bigger than the 5'10 Kirks) 75 6/8" almost 3" shorter than James Washington's.

Lets not get caught up in size. Big and tall doesn't = better

Theres a live feed on yahoo that I'll be checking off and on today

I'll watch a bit of the RBs but thats probably it. Tomorrows the big day with QBs, WRs, TEs.  Monday is also very important , all DBs and we will be in the market for any saftey not named Minkah Fitzpatrick

Again your comparing him to one of the quickest fastest WRs out there, horrible comparison.  Ridley isnt a jet and going to blow by them.  If he doesnt have the speed to blow by like a AB, or the size to dwarf and manhandle someone like Julio.  Its going to be tough to be a #1 guy going against the like of Lattimore.

He is a great route runner, but he has disappeared at times the last 3 years and its not all on the QB.  You get a DB whose bigger faster stronger than him and can cover, they can shut him down

YOU were talking about his size not speed or Quickness. i gave you a comparison of a guy with the same measurements 

How can we talk about anything else when the guy has not been thru a single event yet

We cant, but he's projected to be a 4.5 may squeak into the 4.4s, not supposed to put up huge bench.  His size isnt great and you compared him to AB.  But those other small tweener overcame those by being fast, quick and could jump through the roof.  Ridley is a tweener like those guys but doesnt have those other traits that they do in the other categorizes.  He is a damn good route runner, but there are a couple other good route runners as well that are bigger faster or stronger, who had they suited up in that Alabama offense, wouldve looked like the next coming as well

Again all you did was down play him because of his size there was nothing else in the Original comment 

and now  seem to agree with me that his size alone cant disqualify him .. So why the argument

and cant judge a guy based on events he hasn't run yet

"His speed, elite body control, and wiry-strong frame still showed on tape, making NFL scouts wonder what he could be on Sundays. "

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
