DT John Ridgeway III and a 7th round pick traded to the Saints for a 2025 6th round pick [the 6th rd pick came back in Lattimore trade] (3 Viewers)

That R in his position is shaped like a D for some odd reason

Guy starts talking about him at 4:40ish

LOVE IT! Now we have a true NT in the building! On a side note, is just me, or does Ridgeway look like he could be Bryan Bresee’s stunt double?

Family tree for sure!

I don’t expect a thing from this dude but seeing this makes me root for him as I’m beyond sick of high RAS scrubs.

Other than QB, K, and P, RAS is most useless for nose tackles. They are lumped in with athletic penetrators, who are tasked to do totally different things, so their scores tend to be much lower.

 

[Rexman100]

I've heard that too and that's the only other way this move could make sense. I don't understand though why we wouldn't just IR him since we can't cut an injured vet outright. Perhaps that's coming.

But even when we have carried a second nose on the 53, which isn't all the time, we typically make that guy a healthy scratch anyway. So why trade for one?

Deuce said its a Todd Grantham pick, something about TG loving SEC DT's

Did not know that, good points.

Must admit I’m partial to em too. All SEC wouldn’t bother me at all.

Bryce Young probably doesn't want to see that lineup.

Like he can see over his line.

 

[kennydfresh]

Can he stop the run is all I care about?

 

[St. Widge]

That’s all great, he’s still not getting cut.

He might if they can't find a trade partner. At this point, with the addition of Ridgeway and the presence of Boyd, he doesn't really have a role on the DL.

Doubt it. Most of his contract is guaranteed this year.

 

[sammymvpknight]

Ha! Kazoo Kid! He's a good buddy of mine!

If you know him please know that we’re excited to have him. If people are frustrated it’s not because of him. It’s the Saints unabashed desire to have Derek Carr murdered by week 3

 

[Mr. Coach Klein]

In before complaints about not trading for an OT in a system that doesn't value anything other than LT. lol

Too late. Towlie already started *barking*

Was Chase Young a Commander draftee ? . . did they play together in Washington ?
