Alridge is 5'9" 175 and injury prone, Mason is 5'9" 215 and has been the rushing leader for the last 2 preseasons.

Id rather take the chance with the change of pace back then bringing back Mason who is no different then Portis or Betts.

Agreed, but I would also rather have a young healthy RB to be developed for the future, Mason, over Betts. If all Betts is being used for is 3rd down then teach Mason how to block the damn pass rush and dump Betts.

Isn't it a bit premature to label Alridge injury prone? He was a little dinged in training camp, but I don't think that makes him injury prone necessarily. Also, he's roughly the same size as Darren Sproles. Neither guy is gonna run through too many tackles, but neither guy is going to get caught from behind very often either.

As much as I like Mason, he's a poor man's Portis/Betts. It would be fun to have a return guy/change of pace back who is a threat to take it to the house any time they touch the ball. Moss has been the only real speed threat on our team for a while.

On April 27, 2008, Alridge signed a contract with the Denver Broncos as a free agent.[5] He was put on the injured reserve by the Broncos following the 53-man cut, ending his season. The Broncos waived him on February 11, 2009.

The one thing that people don't know is that he was a WR in Houston (college) before converting to RB. He could definitely make the team.

I think Mason is a better player then Betts. I don't like Betts much at all since he fumbled the game away in Dallas 3-4 years ago.

I think Aldridge should be cut....

He held the ball exposed in his right hand on that kick off. Just seemed to be begging for a fumble. Definitely a good change of pace for the other team when u turn the ball over and the result is 6 points.
