Hell man i miss those Runningbacks,our run game was always fine with them...Hurts that we struggle that much running the ball... I think the 2008 ol was like. Long Smiley Satele Thomas Carey
Cameron did, Ronnie was the second best running back in the NFL 2007 till he tore his knee. He was having a monster season, stats were ridiculous. 602 rushing on 5.1 yards per carry, and 389 receiving yards and 10 yards per catch all in 7 games. A healthy prime Ronnie would do wonders for this team.. Hell, those MJD rumors earlier this year would have helped if they were true..
I don't think there's a been a post more worthy of a fist bump since I joined here. Fitting that it gets my 2,000th fist bump. Right on BDH!
As bad as Cameron was as a HC, man, do I miss the screen plays we ran that year. That was fun. Other than that I miss Ricky in his prime. One of the best RB I've ever seen. As a pure runner I think he is an all time great.
I'm missing coaches who treat the run game like a worthwhile pursuit, rather than an obligation one fulfills haphazardly and begrudgingly
Williams was a unique talent that would probably be getting decent yardage even behind this line..so yeah I miss him lol
Definitely miss Ricky. Glad for what we had but also long for what we missed out on , so much more was there for him , and us. 34
Yeah I've said before I wish we could have had a QB comparable to Tannehill at that time, or a team comparable now. I can't imagine Ryan handing off to a back as good as Ricky was back then.
I think Lamar Miller could be very successful if we had a line that could consistently give him a crease to run through. But he hasn't yet shown the ability to take poor blocking and make something out it. I thinking finding a back that can be counted on to get tough yards and pass block is going to be a priority this off-season.
I often wonder why we let Reggie Bush go......and yes, I miss Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown. We have 2 inept RBs
I'd certainly like the same kind of high-caliber, talented workhorse back in Miami. Ricky Williams could have been a HOF back if his heart was into it, or he found the right opportunity. The guy just had a gift. The guy went from being a 250lbs. in New Orleans to playing just over 200lbs. when he initially came back to Miami, and went from being a pure power guy to a more finesse oriented guy late in his career. Ronnie Brown had all the physical talent in the world, but I don't think he ever had the instincts to be a great back. The guy didn't make great decisions, and his power and short area quickness allowed him to turn what would be a bunch of 1-2 yard gains or negative plays into 3-4 yard gains. Once some of his physical skills declined, so did that, and his ability to be an effective ball-carrier diminished.
