Doesn't sound like Pennington did too bad for a 1st practice:

Nice to read that Pennington is still as accurate as advertised.
But for all of the Chad talk, this is more important:

Good point Padre. He may be at "95%" throughout the year - which is probably in all reality closer to 80% or 85%. This may be something that lingers with him throughout the season, particularly if he's already feeling the bumps and bruises from 3 carries in preseason.

Ronnie will recover, but we probably should not expect the 07 Ronnie this year.
That leaves us with Cobbs and Parmalee...that is not comfortable...:no:Vengeful Odin likes this. -
Do people really expect recovery times from ACL injuries to span just a few months? The Culpepper experience should be fresh in the minds of everyone so this should be a non-issue. I just hope RB does not re-injure himself. Use up Williams, that is what he is here for.

Personally, I think we'd be better off letting Ricky serve as the primary back for the first part of the season. I'd like to see Ronnie get 8-10 carries a game, Ricky around 12-15, and Parmalee picking up about 5-7 a game. If Ronnie shows he can handle the larger workload, we should increase it, but if he doesn't we should be sure to have a Plan B.alen1 likes this. -
I think Ricky will be the primary back early in the year and perhaps even late in the year. I just got a feeling on this one guys, been saying it since it was announced Bill wanted him back, RICKY IS GOING TO HAVE A BIG BIG YEAR. Of course I always the optimist so thats how I roll. (so will Ricky all year long!)

I am glad he came in his first pratice and did good it will build his confidence.

The biggest news I saw QB wise was that there was no mention of McCown so I'm assuming he was working with the first team since Henne was exclusive with the 2nd team but that's my guess. What I then take from that is that it seems the Fins are leaning towards keeping Beck and making him the second QB.
Also I love that Pennington is impressing but really he is only doing what is expected IMO. As for Ronnie I hope he improves especially since he is in my fantasy league. :lol: Plus Ricky looked great in the preseason game sort of like the 1853 yards season Ricky that we had 5 years ago.
I'm liking the news about Davone Bess as well.Kanye West likes this. -

I think I would give the majority of the carries for the first half of the season to Ricky. I think Ricky has plenty of mileage left on his legs with all the time he has missed. Most experts say it takes about two years to get over an ACL, and a lot of it is becoming confident in yourself. I just hope RB fully recovers...I still get sick watching how he got hurt trying to make a tackle last year, on a pretty meaningless play.
