According to the Washington Examiner (New RG still undecided; other notes | Washington Examiner), Alridge will be active this Sunday..

Rock Cartwright said he was told that Alridge would be active for Sunday's game at Detroit and that Marcus Mason would not.

"We expect to use his speed," Zorn said.

i kinda thought they brought alridge in b/c mason wasnt too productive or explosive on the 3 plus runs he's had so far. but then i thought, nah the skins wouldnt go and flip flop like that so soon . . .

or alridge was close to signing with another team and the skins wanted to protect an potential investment

go skins!!

I think its more about Alridge's big play potential. Especially when catching the ball out of the backfield and on screens. This is primarily what Betts has been used for. I wouldn't say anything about Mason being explosive or anything like that. I think it says more about our O-line not creating holes. He had to put someone on the inactive list and I think he didn't want to ruffle any feathers. Because Rock seems very sensitive these days and Betts while he is not producing he is a vet and is still the 2nd RB. This whole situation reeks of something. I dont think they will be rotating RBs like this too long. The next two games will be very telling.

I likes what Zorn said here:

...Zorn on the booing fans: "Everybody was saying, did you hear the fans boo? I said, 'I'm booing, too.' I want to score the six points and kick the extra point. There's a lot of stuff out there. I haven't read anything and I've tried to answer everybody's questions."

I amjsut wondering. Is it Rock's place to let people know who is going to be active or inactive for the game. Sometimes you want it to be a surprise. Ala Bellichick. I think he was just happy he wasn't inactive that he had to blurt it out. Probably wont be a strategic difference. Between the comments he made after the final 53 was announced and this. He needs to just shut up and play ball. Again this year we bring in anotehr RB. why because he doens't produce as a running back. I think its too ealry to say if Mason will produce or not or Alridge for that matter. But he has had ample opporunity. He just needs to shut his trap.

He was probably asked about it and he answered the question.

No need to get in an uproar about it.

Not in a uproar really.I hope Rock does well on returns this year and shines on special teams. But I think that is on the coach to make those announcements.

Does it really matter though?

Reporter: Hey Rock, have you heard if Aldridge is gonna play this week?

Rock: Yeah, I heard coach say he's gonna play.

Fan reaction: Holy effing shit there goes the neighborhood.

Maybe the reporter did ask him that. But that isn't in the article. Its talks about Alridge working on his fumbles and concentrating using tennis balls.

Then its says:

Rock Cartwright said he was told that Alridge would be active for Sunday's game at Detroit and that Marcus Mason would not.

Maybe the person did ask him. But I guess with all the ....'s you couldn't tell. Its hard to tell by how the article is written.

Not a big deal at all. Not dramatization.

Even if he was asked. He could have easily said. You have to talk to coach or wait for it to be announced.

But if this was Darth Hoodie. He would be in a world of trouble..lmao

Anyways. This is convo is dead.

I can't wait to see what Alridge can do. I hope he is the spark that we need to get going. I think he will make some plays on Sunday if given the opportunity.
