NP! :up:

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.

I dont think anyone said RW is a top runningback, but saying RB may never recover is just plain ignorant... (ESPN at its best)

Is it on yet? have they talked about him coming on soon?

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

They asked if he sees the team being rebuilt without guys like taylor or thomas..he said he wasnt sure but it would be hard to rebuild without cornerstone players like that...

About OL... as a group he thinks they did a great job, they responded well early in the season, came together great in camp,

Said his knee feels great and he'll be ready for TC...

I missed any questions about parcells or cam, sorry fellas

Basically all standard answers

Ronnie Brown's injury was nowhere near as severe as Deuce McAllister's first injury , 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..

We arnt talking about Caddy's injuries or anything. A broken finger? Not a durability concern to me at all. Its not like the injury was caused from taking the pounding of an NFL RB.

His injury his rookie year? Only missed one game... and he didnt even have to. They said that if the game meant anything, he would have played... but since we were tryingn to showcase Ricky at the time anyway, there was no real sense in playing him.

This ACL does concern me. It has to. But it wasnt exactly from running the ball either. He tore it trying to make a tackle after one of the many Cleo INTs...

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.

I agree, one of the better backs though ranking him around 15th and probably no higher. also, I completely disagree with your assessment on his age and him being able to take the pounding of the NFL. did you happen to watch the Pitt game? 6 carries? case closed

Ronnie > Ricky... There really is no arguement about it

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...

HIs injury was no where near what we all were led to believe.

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.
