The key to having good receivers out of the backfield this year is Henne improving his short distance touch throws. Too many 500mph rockets bounced out of the hands of backs last year, especially at the end of the season with Williams and Polite.
Hillard seemed to do well in a "3rd down back" role, caught nine passes against Houston, a handful of them on a 2 minute drive before halftime according to my memory...Agua and dolfan7171 like this. -

I'm hoping to see Ronnie Saturday for the first drive, Ricky the second with a big dose of Cobbs and Hilliard and Davis with mop-up duty...

R&R with Cobbs, Polite and Hilliard is a superbly balanced variation of running backs, teams will be hard pressed to scheme for all of them and as it said Marshall will likely keep teams from stacking the box OR make them pay for it if they do. Good read, thanks for the link DF :up:

I'm really excited about the potential of this offense. I hope over the next couple weeks they settle in on the offense line so they can gel.

Thought so.
Your opinion of an elite back requires the "second gear". Mine doesn't. Mine requires power, vision, hands, toughness, team first attitude, etc. Ronnie has all those things. Anyway that's my opinion. FTR, I know you can't really take way the injuries, but thank you for the correction.
I have other opinions. A big opinion for me, is any fan is who is ALWAYS negative about the team, it players, other fans, the FO, without ever really acknowledging the good, is really no different than the average Jets fan.Larryfinfan, DePhinistr8 and dolphindebby like this. -

When we lost Ronnie, we lost the wildcat and our best offensive player. Ricky went in, had a phenom game against the Panthers and after that it was right back to 'ricky left, ricky right' days of old. Marshall will fix some of this, but Brown may still be the most pivotal part of our team.
Is it really surprising to believe that the one season Brown managed to stay healthy, we made the playoffs? As a fan of this team, you have to get on board with Ronnie, otherwise you're rooting for this team to fail. -
I expect a breakout season from our Pro Bowl star running back. He is going to prove he is the best running back in this league in fact I'll go as far as saying that someday he will enter the Pro Football Hall Of Fame along with many of his team mates from this era. The Miami Dolphins will win the Super Bowl for the next ten years because we have the best offense, the best defense, the best special teams, the best HC, and the next Dan Marino. I expect sellouts for all the games because the fanbase is the best group of fans ever. The FO is the best group that has ever been put together and they will be together here for a long time because they are so good to the team. The stadium is the best in the NFL too. I love the way the stands are so far away from the field, that gives all the players room to take in the wonderful oxygen and brilliant sunshine beaming down on them at gametime......
Of course you were talking about me. :up::plzdie: -
The most versatile power back to man the position, this is a highly skilled athlete, wait til he starts to roll right and left and complete short passes out of the formation.... Hes getting better folks.Fin D and DePhinistr8 like this. -

I disputed him being hypothetically the best back in the league. Which is not even close and resembles borderline major homerism. There is a difference.
I understand we need Ronnie at least this season. I hope he has a great year. I'll say it again I'm not a pessimist just an optimist with experience. -

Very few of the NFL great RBs over the years aren't speed demons. While it certainly doesn't hurt, it's not the end-all be all.
I've heard from many "experts" .. Mike Lombardi, Jon Gruden, etc.. and rival fans, mention that Ronnie is the best overall back in the game...except those darn injuries. -
I'm excited about the season. I can't wait. :hi5:DePhinistr8 likes this. -

Killa, some of us thinking Ronnie brown would be the best all around back in the league without the injuries, is not freakin Homerism, its based on skill level and versatility relative to others...
When he is healthy, and rolling, and executing multiple formations, there isn't anyone I would trade for strait up at that position..Fin D, DePhinistr8 and finyank13 like this. -

Of course either way, covering Marshall could also loosen the box and improve the run game to the point that Ds would have tough decisions to make in what coverages to use. I think, for all the grief that Ginn got here (mostly justified), we'll miss his speed on the outside IF Hartline isn't able to step to the plate... -
As I've been saying I really like what I'm hearing of Wallace, who is a big burner. In his first interview today (Finsiders/Aquavision) seems really bright too... Let's see what he can bring in the preseason.
