Anthony Alridge: "Think the Texans want me?"

Lance Z at Shrine game practice:

- UH RB Anthony Alridge is showing his unbelievable quickness at practices and he was even split out a couple of times at WR (which he will probably have to play on the next level). One scout told me he is agonizing about figuring out how to sell Alridge to his GM and head coach because of Alridge's speed, but he just isn't sure where he'll play.

Well that is a 30 lb weight difference. Like someone said in a post above, it has nothing really to do with height it's his weight. 175 lbs is really small for a RB in the NFL. He will probably not get drafted or he gets drafted in the 7th, maybe.

Another thing that really hurts him is that he cant return kicks.

His weight for his height makes him the epitomy of a beanstalk.:

Maurice Jones-Drew is Curly Culp in MiniMe version:

Try comparing the effort that it would take to knock each one off of their center of gravity in the NFL..............It's virtually impossible to knock the legs out from under Maurice Jones-Drew.

BTW, even though everyone has referred to his blazing speed, I don't believe that his 40 has been listed in this thread............................4.31 (per Scout.com).
 
If you take Alridge is to compete with Darius Walker. We tried to use Darius Walker on some of those screens and it worked sometimes. Alridge could potentially do a better job at that. If we drafted him I hope it would be in one of the later rounds, plus he'd probably have to do alot of strength and conditioning training to get play time. His height isn't the problem it is his weight.

t's definitely a drawback for him.
From what I learn, the Coogs had a pretty good strength and conditioning coach.
I don't know if Alridge can add much muscles without losing his speed.
Maybe 5-10 lbs ???
 
We didn't use a draft choice on Darius Walker, let's hope Aldridge goes undrafted and we can pick him up as an undrafted free agent.

It's right up there with "Wrapped up like a douche...another runner in the night." :shades:

One of the most commonly mistaken lyrics..... It's actually:
"revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night".

But it really sounds like what you typed in the Mansfred Mann version. Bruce Springsteen originally wrote the song. His lyrics were "cut loose like a deuce". Bruce could actually pronounce the word right.....

In case you were wondering, "deuce" refers to a 1932 Ford Deuce Coupe. If that car sounds familiar, it's because the Beach Boys sang about it as well.
