ESPN's physical therapist's assessment of ronnie browns health
11 replies
padre31Luxury BoxOPBrown's performance in training camp has done much to alleviate those concerns. He has participated fully in all activities as if his foot were a non-issue. If his efforts on the practice field are any indication, Brown appears ready for the season to start tomorrow.
When I visited Miami Dolphins practice, I saw him move fluidly both during position drills and 11-on-11. One play in particular caught my eye. Brown caught a simple screen pass and then made a sharp dodge to evade a defender (and yes, he made him miss). That move allowed him to burst forward untouched and he continued to run out the play for extra yards, even after the whistle blew. In fact, every time Brown touched the ball, he added an extra 20 or 30 yards of running after the play was dead. That combination of mobility, speed and intensity is something that was not quite there when I visited him in 2008 training camp following his ACL reconstruction.
Interesting read.
PhinsRockLuxury BoxThanks for the link, good read. If Ronnie stays healthy, he and Ricky are likely going to both gain over 1,000 yards this year, wouldn't that be sweet? Hopefully Henning has learned Ronnie can catch the ball too.

PhinsRDbestForum VeteranIf he can stay healthy this year, he will be the top fantasy back and the Phins are looking real good. Franchise tag!

GARDENHEADSupporterA healthy Ronnie for 16 games plus the playoffs....boy could do some damage!!!
Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin
Ronnie looked like he was running hard and confident in his limited playing time against the bucs in the first preseason game.
SuperselfForum VeteranGood read, thanks.
I think Ronnie's routine of running the extra 20-30 yards even after the play is blown dead was something he got from Ricky.
OzzyLuxury BoxThat move allowed him to burst forward untouched and he continued to run out the play for extra yards, even after the whistle blew. In fact, every time Brown touched the ball, he added an extra 20 or 30 yards of running after the play was dead.
That's something he has picked up from Ricky. He's always ran an extra 20-30 yrds looking for defenders or to get away from the rest of them...

Yup, that was my first though as well. That kind of thing gets infectious.
HULKFishForum VeteranI know people would like to think that both he and Ricky could have a thousand yard season, but I also believe that if Ronnie is healthy he'll be demanding more carries. He is the better play-maker and though I do like Ricky and appreciate all he has done for the Dolphins I also believe he isn't quite the player he used to be and did wear-down at the end of the season -- noticeably. As the last several years I'll be concentrating on Ronnie firstly and keeping Ricky fresh just in case.
I'd like to see Ronnie motion out into the slot once in a while too, I think that would take advantage of his receiving skills and cause obvious mismatches too.
OF course I hope they both have a great season though, I just think Ronnie is an obvious starter over Ricky. Ricky has proved he is a really good backup to have as well.

And that Ricky CANNOT throw a football lol. Only Dan Henning can figure out a way to put Ricky in a position to throw a pick :lol:....GREAT avatar btw.
