So, let's discuss Anthony Aldridge, our newest signed player

tryfuhl · 02-13-2009, 01:19 AM

another small scatback type, was on Denver's roster last year but tore a ligament in his foot before the season started, went to college of U of Houston

looks like we're bringing in a few guys to compete for the returner spot and possibly a change of pace back if that works out

we claimed him off of waivers, the vikes also were looking to get him but we got him because we had the lower record last year

measurables:
5.9" 175 4.38 40 yd dash out of college, not sure what he'd be at now, after the foot injury and all

draft profile from last year:
SI.com - 2008 NFL Draft - Anthony Alridge

apparently not good after contact (to be expected) but is shifty and elusive and can also play slot receiver

Looks like we're trying to find our Sproles in the rough or at least a Rock/ARE return replacement. Sorry if it seems like I'm hyping him up, don't get too excited yet guys.

He's definitely worth checking out. Fast as lightning and can break one at any time. Why not?

Exactly, never hurts to start camp with him.

My last name is the same as his, so naturally I'm hoping he'll turn into a big superstar and they'll start selling jerseys of his so I can buy one.

i say either him or the other guy from the CFL league make the roster. Thats how bad we need a change of pace back and a guy that can take it to the house at any moment other than tana.

I definitely think we're looking for return men. ARE won't be returning punts this year.

Well with quotes like these, its hard not to get excited. I'm quietly optimistic about how our FO is approaching the offseason, now for the cuts... and the draft ....

Every time we get a player like this, I think why would they let him go if he was any good. Then I think of players like Chris Clemons, Antonio Pierce and Ryan Clark and think sometimes teams make mistakes. Then I realize, I cant think of any non Redskins like that and get depressed again.

If this helps...John Lynch..Kris Jenkins..Shawn Rogers..Kurt Warner, to name a few. Even James Harris was cut 3 times by the Steelers and once by the Ravens and became the defensive MVP this year.

If he's a candidate to replace ARE on punt returns, we need to know how fast he can run backwards.

But seriously, I'm glad that we're trying to find an explosive return man.

That's great news if true. Maybe this guy can do it. I like the looks of that KR video...completely opposite of ARE, he moves north-south VERY quickly instead of east-west-east-backwards-east again-west-down.

I can see Aldridge taking a screen or a short pass and turning it into 6 for us. The more I watch him, the faster he looks. I could see him being a threat in our offense. He's got some moves. A little space and he's GONE!
