I'd rather have Ridley than Frenchy.

Agreed. Frenchy is pretty much worthless.

Pass blocking/protection, Special teams, not a bad runner of the FB.

Fitz has a roster spot for those first two reasons alone.

Good to hear we have the Landry Jones of rb's back again for another year. Now if we can only sign DHB for another year. People thinking Steelers are not on top of FA!

All I can think about when I hear his name is THAT fumble against Denver!

If we are down to Toussaint then run for the exits to beat the traffic.

:iagree: He certainly showed more to me even in the brief time he played.

Could Stevan Ridley be a part of the solution should Le'Veon Bell get off to a slow start in 2018?

Yep. Hopefully Connors return leads to one of these bums hitting the street...

Ridley is pretty much what you'd expect in a backup RB; I mean, he's not great but he's ok. That's what a backup is.

Touissant I don't even know why we're bothering with at this point. You want two backup RBs, a dependable veteran (Ridley) and an up-and-coming guy with potential, which is Conner at this point. Frenchy is neither of those things anymore.

Are fans really complaining about the signing of a RB to a 1 year deal where he will compete for a roster spot?

He is a veteran special teamer, a grinder, good in pass protection and has absolutely no guarantee that he makes the 53 man roster. Cant wait until the Steelers sign a #4 QB for training camp.:coffee:

Not really complaining, just hoping that's not what we're counting on.

Or that having a guy like that as a placeholder doesn't make us complacent about finding anything better.

I see him as a current day Fred McAfee. He is a core special teamer and a guy that is a better blocker and inside runner than McAfee was. Yeah he can play RB if needed, but if anybody looks at the number of carries he has had in the NFL, they will know that he isn't counted on that often as a rusher.
