Others of note: Richard Murphy had 43 yards on 7 rushes for San Diego Pep Levingston got a fumble recovery for Seattle PP7 had a 34 yard kick return for Arizona
Ridley finished with 16 att. for 64 yards and 2 TD's. Receiving was 7 for 47 yards and a TD. Not a bad night. :tigereye:
It was weird seeing Ryan Mallett throw that TD pass to Ridley though...good thing Mallett will never see the field
Kind of like Chris Spielman and Eric Andolsek, during the cointoss before the game(Between LSU and Ohio St.),Spielmen felt like Eric was staring him down. Pushing and words went on at the toss and during this game. Both ended up on the roster of the Detroit Lions. As fate would have it, Spielman would end up delivering his best friend's eulogy. At the age of 25, Eric was lost in a freak accident. Eric helped pave the way for Barry Sanders, playing some as a rookie, then starting his second year. In his final season, the Lions made it to the NFC Championship game, this would be his last game. The rest of the story? While up in Dallas a few year ago, I got to eat lunch with a football coach named Burt Hill, Burt was up in Detroit when Eric was there. We talked about how Eric could have finished with the Lions, a big loss to that team. RIP Eric More story? Spielman, still holds the Lions records for most tackles in a season and in a career. More info? From 2001 until 2005, Bert Hill worked in private business in Dallas and co-authored several books on the discipline of strength and conditioning. From there, he work as the S&C Coach for Saban at Miami. Bert is now back up in Dallas with SMU as the DL Coach.
