Love to hear this .. was surprised he didn't stick with our Bears. if he is close to 100% he won't be on practice squad for long.
Go James Osh .. great young man !!!
They'll do what they can to get home field advantage.James O is a better fit for the Bears offense, but they seem to be running very few multiple TE sets and Kmet is really starting to show what he can do. With Irv Smith down, they are one injury away from only carrying a single TE on the Vikings and as they will probably clinch the division in 2 weeks and will get away from playing high priced starters as much, I can see James getting a good amount of PT in the final 3-4 games.
Maybe Ridgeway was still pissed off about the Redbirds loss to SDSU ??And John Ridgeway had some camera time on MNF the other night. He blasted Dallas Goeddert and knocked him out of the game which was unfortunate
Davontae was move up to the active roster this week.Good week for former Redbirds. Davontae Harris signs with Tennessee Titans, to the practice squad.
Did Spack push him out, or he left on his own ?Pretty good year wrapped up yesterday for Shanon Reid at SMU. Finished 4th on the team with 59 total tackles. Had an interception in their bowl game yesterday in a 23-24 loss vs BYU.
I think he left on his own, pretty sure he was married and had a senior season already and the thought was with covid he was looking to move on with his life. What changed I am not sure but I am pretty sure that is how some of that went down and was the thought process because he did play 4 games as a junior at Tennessee in 2019.Did Spack push him out, or he left on his own ?
During the Dec. 18 “Sunday Night Football” player introductions, Washington Commanders defensive lineman John Ridgeway III introduced himself and identified his college as “Illinois State.” Ridgeway, a Bloomington native, played from 2017-2020 for the Redbirds before transferring to FBS Arkansas for the 2021 season.
Nice gesture by Ridgeway. He spent a lot more time at ISU than he did at Arkansas. I am sure he appreciated the opportunity that ISU afforded him. To him, his college probably is ISU. Arkansas was just a stepping stone he had to take advantage of. He did not forget where he came from and good for him for that!I don't think this was posted here, a note from today's article in Prairie State Pigskin. Make me a little less "pissed" that Ridgeway move on:
Illinois FCS fun-size facts: Hall of famers, big play gamers & national media framers
Since August, this website has published 193 stories (and a total of 139,000 words) about the four Illinois FCS programs.prairiestatepigskin.com
Interesting thought - maybe the "wave of the future". P5 becomes the "new minor leagues" to some guys, move on from FCS to P5 for a year then to the "major leagues"/NFL. No different than a baseball player getting drafted from ISU and moving on after junior year to Class A ball and then moving up the ladder.Nice gesture by Ridgeway.
