if you can, keep us non siruis having working folk updated... thanks!

 

Speaking of Ronnie Brown, did anyone hear Trey Wingo's comments last night on ESPN? He said it was a good move by Parcells to renew Ricky's contract, because Ronnie Brown may NEVER recover from his knee injury. Come on now, he may never be 100% the same, but he will recover and play again.

 

Some people just don't have a brain or something. How old is Ricky Williams? What makes everyone think he is still a top runningback in this league when healthy? These guys live in the past. We will be lucky to get production out of him like an old Emmitt Smith gave to the Cardinals.

Ricky Williams is done, he's washed up. It's over with him. Just hang it up Ricky and retire.

 

Ronnie: Hard to see the team, being rebuilt without Taylor and Thomas....hard to replace guys like that....

 

Ronnie: O-line as a group did a great job....took a lot of heat in the beginning ...responded in a special way.....didn't have top deal with injuries like they had the previous year...

said all the standard answers...nothing new nothing controversial.....interview over

 

Ronnie Brown's injury was nowhere near as severe as Deuce McAllister's first injury [Deuce blow to the knee was really ugly], and McAllister came back stronger than before and came back to play at a high level before he tore it again.

 

Horrible interview.. They did not ask anything..

I heard the whole thing, The dead air was laughable..

How about asking him what he thinks about the changes, how he viewd the locker room situation in Miami? about the rumor of Cam trying to take down Jason Taylor or what the feeling from the players was tword the old staff?

Something to give us some insite on that horrible season?

man that interview was horrible..

Ronnie says hes getting healthy but I question that. He has not stayed injury free yet..

 

Oh please. If Ricky wants to dedicate himself to playing football at a high level then he can definitely still be one of the better backs in the league. He's 30 years old and hasn't had to take any poundings on his body for the last couple of years which is what leads to running backs wearing down in the NFL.

Miami would be absolutely stupid to cut Ricky and let someone else have him. He can still be a BIG factor for this team in the future, and he's CHEAP.

 

Ricky is no where near as good as he used to be.
Its amazing the love people have for this guy, yet they have no problem bashing Ronnie Brown, when he has worked harder in these 3 years than Ricky has for us.

 

HIs injury was no where near what we all were led to believe.
He could have returned this year late if he and the staff had chose to.
Seeing how badly the season was going they decided to shelve him and allow a more conservative recovery.... thankfully.

 

I live in Calgary, Canada and have been watching Ricky since he was in College..., and he was like "nothing special" in the CFL... In Toronto the team wasn't schemed to run out of the "I" but when RW had a chance he really sputtered..., and then he got injured twice so I wonder if his body is just showing the signs of all those oundeings he gave and received...

I know It hurts to hit people..., and he hits like 90% harder than I ever could...

 

It was only a partial tear right?

 

Do you have some link to this story...? While I am not disagreeing with you... I speculate the same..., the guy is like the Offensive face and talent of the franshise

 

As much as I've dumped on Ricky over the years due to his abandoning the team, I'd still rather have RW than Chatman in spite of Chatman going out there and doing his damnedest under the circumstances. Heading into next year with a running back trio of Brown, Booker and Williams sounds like a good plan to me.

 

that was his first game in a year i believe. what do you think hes gonna do? run for 296 like AP? He was getting acclimated to the game again and after the sixth carrie, he got stepped on on purpose. your not expected to have a huge game when you havent played in a while.

 

Trey Wingo doesn't have a clue. It wasn't a daunte Culpepper injury at all. Also, it's not 20 years ago when this injury meant a career. Hey, how much did it slow down Braylon Edwards???

Ronnie is a hard worker and a great character guy. I fully expect him to pick up where he left off. I am fully confident that he will be over 4.5 yards a carry and have 2000 all purpose yards nect year, even with Ricky.

As far as Ronnie's rebuilding comments, it really got me thinking. He may very well be the last remaining link that keeps many other people Dolphin fans. I mean who else do we have left without Zach and Jason???

 

Ricky is finished. I think people are to wrapped up in his former potential to let go.

 

i think Trey's comments if that is what he said are more of a hey look how smart BP is by signing Ricky
than a shot at Ronnie being done-if he did say it then yeah based on his medical training is probably one of the dumbest things ever said at ESPN.Then again i think they have a guy who just tells them to spice it up and be somewhat controversial.

 

The only problem I see with that assessment is that you are acting like it was his conditioning and age that put him on the IR. Anyone is going to be injured when a 234 pound LB uses you as a piece of ground to plant on. So honestly, you saying "I expected him to take more than 6 carries before going to IR" is just off a little. Adrian Peterson, in great shape, as well as LT would be sidelined from that.

While I don't beleive he is anywhere near what he used to be, but I think he can be productive. He showed signs of speed and quickness on the worst field conditions of the year during the Pittsburgh game.

His first carry, he ran for 5 yards and a first down, breaking a tackle to get there.

Second carry up the middle, he was hit by 3 guys right at the line.

Third carry was out to the right, two Steelers hit him right at the line. One was untouched, and the other made Martin look like a fool by getting away from his block before Ricky made it back to the line.

Fourth carry, made a nice cutback and dove over two tacklers to get himself an extra 2-3 yards

Fifth carry, famous, "I was stepped on" carry. This is where his duribility has nothing to do with his only getting 6 carries.

The video I was watching does not show the 6th carry, but we all know that he carried it, and then left after due to what we now know as a torn pectoral muscle.

Point taken, and I agree with most of it.

 

Obviously he's not. He's gunna be 31 next season and hasnt really played football for about 2 years now. But seriously, if he is our second running back next year i bet he gets close to 500 yards and at least 3 TD's. He still can play football and he hasnt taken the poundings that most 31 year old running backs have. Obviously he isnt what he used to be but the guy can still play good football and if he was the starter i truly believe he could get 1,000 yards rushing and 8 TD's.

 

Wasnt he in Star Wars? Boba Fetts cousin i think.

 

Football conditions were harsh to say the least and did you see that cheap shot he took? That much weight on that muscle was bound to cause damage. Im not totally backing RW because im not holding my breath on how he will do when he comes back but he was took out on purpose IMO. For that and because we only saw 6 carries i will give benefit of the doubt.
