Stevan Ridley, Patriots –
BenJarvis Green-Who? Ridley stepped seamlessly into the Patriots' feature-back role with a big Week 1 showing. Keep in mind no team ran the ball more times in the red zone last year than New England.
DeAngelo Williams, Panthers –
Williams turned a golden opportunity--no Jonathan Stewart, a very favorable matchup--into a battle to stay above negative yardage. And Cam Newton didn't even vulture anything. That's a bad omen for the rest of the season.
