On Thursday, three months before the regular season, rain fell throughout practice.
"When you have a wet surface, you have to stick to your fundamentals," wide receiver Julian Edelman said.
"I have to go out there and play football and hit it hard and run the ball and get wide open," he said. "I just have to be the same player I've been."
"You can go out there and be a starter one game and the next game you're two or three guys behind," Ridley said. "That's what Coach stresses to us every week. We have to go out there and be as competitive as we can be. He's going to play the matchups game and we just have to be unselfish enough to capitalize on the plays that we get."

Wet or dry, Ridley knows he must do that all the time.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Fumbles plagued Stevan Ridley even when the ball was dry. A steady rain presents another challenge to the New England Patriots running back.
Ridley lost fumbles in three consecutive games last season. After the third, in the first quarter against the Denver Broncos on Nov. 24,Cheap NFL Jerseys, he was benched for the rest of New England's 34-31 comeback win in overtime. He lost a total of four fumbles last season leading to three touchdowns and a field goal.
Ridley's four fumbles last year came on dry days. It rained during the last regular-season game, a 34-20 win over the Buffalo Bills, and the first playoff games, a 43-22 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Both games were at Foxborough.

"Try to go out there and be mistake-free,Jerseys NFL Wholesale."
"I told one of the young guys today, that's the quickest way to get off the field," Ridley said. "You can ask me first."
The Patriots continued their organized team activities on a soggy day and Ridley gripped the ball as if his job depended on it. It might if he keeps fumbling.
Anything else?
"I think if I can do that I can become a better player," Ridley said. "When you lose focus on the small things — whether it's small assignments, whether it's carrying the football, whether it's running a route, whether its blitz pickup — those are things that cost you your playing time."
So he's been focusing on avoiding a repeat this year.
He's speaks from experience.
The third-round pick from LSU fumbled just once as a rookie in 2011, but the Patriots recovered it. He lost two of his four fumbles in 2012 before the problem escalated last year. And his rushing production dropped — from 1,263 yards and 12 touchdowns on 290 carries in 2012 to 773 yards and seven touchdowns on 178 attempts.

"There's no contact so you should be running your routes perfect. You should be catching every ball that's thrown to you. You shouldn't be dropping anything on the ground," Ridley said. "Rain, sleet, whatever's out there,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, whatever the conditions are, you have to find a way to fight through that."
It wasn't a problem for him Thursday.
Ridley is entering the final season of his contract and tries not to think much about it.
So he's concentrating on improving his overall focus on every play.
