Honestly, if he did it on purpose, then good.

I don't respect Ricky Williams, so I won't defend him unless it's life or death.

 

In the heat of the game..it would be almost impossible to prove...but that is definately what put Ricky out of the game. That really sucked.

 

It looked questionable at least, and for those who are happy that it happened, guys get real. He may have had his ups and downs as a Dolphin and as a football player, but to celebrate and injury on anyone is classless and disturbing. Whatever you might think about Ricky, or any player for that matter, you never should celebrate an injury... at least I would hope no Dolphins' fans would. The guy is a Miami Dolphin, wether we like it (or him) or not. Cheering an injury is something I could see a Jets or Philly fan doing, but coming from our "fans" is seriously alarming. :cursing:

Well I'll step off my soapbox now. :detective:

 

That foot in my mind was planted in his back on purpose. Hope it isn't serious. We could use Ricky down the line. If he can show he can still play we might be able to get a pick for him. Or keep him as a number 2 back next year.

 

Oh how I miss VIP

 

Where'd the assumption of "celebrating injury" come from?

 

Here here.

 

Umm... let me see, right here:

You might not call that "celebrating", but it seems pretty clear to me that you were happy that someone purposely hurt a Miami Dolphins player... was that not your intention?!? :confused1:

 

im telling u, miami fans make up so much crap its unbelieveable. i nevr saw neoen celebrate nor see the stepping done on purpose. worst part is im a die hard fin fan and i keep seeeing this fin fans who are always in denial.

 

I'm not saying anyone at the game was celebrating the injury, I was saying people on this board were celebrating it, and that's worse IMO. I can sometimes understand a player in the heat of the battle with the adrenaline pumping to do something dumb or controversial, but for "fans" of our team to celebrate or condone an injury to one of our own players is just disgraceful. Just my opinion.

 

oo in that case i agree. maybe he just donest like the guy? who knows but still that is a low blow i agree.

 

I never implied that I was happy that he indeed got injured on the player; how do you know that I'm not happy that he was just getting roughed up a bit?

Don't ever again put words into my mouth, son. Ask first. Don't make yourself look dumb.

 

Man I don't want to argue with you, but I didn't put any words in your mouth, I just quoted you... if I understood what you meant to say incorrectly I honestly apologize, but I would be willing to bet that the majority would see it the way I did.

 

reread your crappy post. I second and third the notion that VIP can not come back sooner.

 

I guess I'm the rare one that didn't think it was on purpose at all, the guy saw the ball and changed direction to go after the ball. Its football, it happens.

I have a hard time thinking that while the ball is floating around on the field, that a guy would think, the heck with the ball, I'm stepping on Ricky, its absurd.

 

Seems to me somebody thought it was 'good' that a Fin player got hurt. Maybe not such a 'good' fan!

 

In slow motion, he did it on purpose. But the game isn't played in slow motion.

With the speed at which the game is played, I don't think Timmons meant to injure him, but I don't think he made any attempt to avoid stepping on Ricky's shoulder either.

 

So would the league look at this film like they do so many and impose a fine if they deem it to be intentional? Beck is holding on to the ball too long.

 

LOL but that entire game WAS played in slow-motion MUCK...due to the field of course.

I think it WAS on purpose. SHould it have gotten a flag- probably not. THis happens in football ALL THE TIME its football folks>..

 

Oh yeah, and yes, Sorry KING but it did sound like you were dancing on Ricky's grave bro....

 

Not a whole lot of ways we can interpret this bro.

You might not have been celebrating dirty play, but these words were condoning it.

 

Amazed me how those divvies in the commentary booth didnt see that stamp on RW straight away.

 

Wey to go. Condone a cheap shot on a MIAMI DOLPHIN PLAYER. Have a pop at him if or when we trade him but until then you need to bite your lip when it comes to Fin players getting injured when they are playing for us IMO.

 

It wouldn't have happened if Ricky was not in uniform, which he wasn't suppose to be but our franchise is so pathetically desperate.

Field conditions were horrible, players were slipping, sliding, and falling harder than on regular weather.

 

Maybe this holier than though attitude the VIP'ers have is the reason someone attacked FinHeaven and knocked it on it's a-- for over a month

Either debate the person or ignore it

 

True that.

 

No one can say for sure that it was an intentional move. Ricky fumbled and Timmons was clearly trying to get to the ball at all costs. However, I'm sure if the Commish deems it intentional he will issue a fine. BTW, I have to admit, I've been one of the people who just wish the organization would cut ties with Ricky after what he has put the team through, however seeing him back in uniform then give that little shimmy turn to get the first down on his very first touch of the game gave me a little chill. I just wish he could have played the entire game.

 

At this point, my expectation is that Ricky is traded for a draft pick...I hope he is healthy and can play the rest of the season to showcase to some other franchise to roll-the-dice on him.

But somehow my gut tells me that it will get screwed up too - and this Organization will get shafted again by RW.

 

Yeah, but seriously the most anyone would be willing to trade IMO is a 6th at best, and with Ronnie out for who knows how long healing they may decide to keep him around. Everything is so up in the air at so many different positions on this team going into next season I have no clue what is going to happen, including the HC spot.

 

No doubt anything can happen....and where is Lo. Booker? We used a 3rd on him and he has to be activated for this Jets game doesnt he?

 

I have no idea, was wondering the same thing last night. Still injured I guess, hell he has to have better hands than Hagan, might as well throw him into WR sets once in awhile. He did quite well when receiving in college.

 

I was thinking it was a 4th BDH...but you could be right

Ricky, unfortunately will probably be around until the trade-deadline next year...Then and only then, a team that is close to being a contender that needs a nice backup will take him on for a draft pick.

At this point, I dont think anybody would deal us a draft pick for him

 

I think the reason Booker does not play is because he stinks. I think he is gone next year also.

 

Give me a 6th, a 7th, heck I would take a 6th for 2009 draft year :)...anything.

P.S. yeah, Lo. Booker was 4th overall player drafted but 3rd rounder.

2007 - Miami Dolphins
Rd Sel # Player Position School
1 9 Ted Ginn Jr. WR Ohio State
2 40 John Beck QB Brigham Young
2 60 Samson Satele C Hawaii
3 71 Lorenzo Booker RB Florida State

 

:confused1: what makes you say that?

 

I would have to agree with Greg. I mean cmon, we are down to our 4th back on the depths and putting Ricky in with 1 week practice....and Lo-Book still isnt activated...I think he is D U N
