Camarillo, for better or worse, will always have a place in Fins history. I hope he can make the cut, but maybe that's just sentimentality speaking.
I have a feeling we could really see some serious comeback this season by Ricky, if he is having fun, he could be a serious runner for us.
Same here, I've gone over how Marcus Allen with more wear and tear went to Kansas City and produced all out of proportion for what a 31+ running back was supposed to be capable of. RW should be fun to watch this year especially with this Oline, unlike last year, we have invested seriously in that unit...Jake Long, Smiley, Vern Carey moving to RT his "best" position... No rustoleum on Sheltons and Lewinski's this year...
Wow, good news all around here. Nice to hear Ricky is off to a great start. It should be awesome watching Ronnie and Ricky running behind our new line. im getting excited already..
I've said it before, I'll say it again. I think Ricky is our starting running back come day one of the season, and I think he may be able to keep Ronnie on the bench even once he is healthy.
If you're gonna stick to your guns, then I may as well break it to you now, rather than later. Ronnie will not be anyone's backup. In Sparano's offense, neither is a backup. Think of it in terms of a military. Sometimes you send the Air Force. Sometimes you send the Marines. And sometimes you send the Army. Both the Marines and the Army operate at ground level. But neither would be viewed as better, or more important in term of what they offer. In football, most teams have just an Air Force and an Army, being the passing and rushing attacks. But some teams are now using a new offensive approach, in utilizing Marines. I didn't include the Navy, because football doesn't involve water, just Gatorade.
Haha I didn't mean we wouldn't see any Ronnie. I mean that due to his injury I can see him sitting out the first half of the season and Ricky tearing it up. I just can't see Ronnie being healthy enough to contribute this year but I hope I'm wrong. Yesterdays minicamp report stated he looked stiff, I don't expect that to change for a while. Ideally we can get the Ronnie from last season back quickly and Ricky can get more of the ball in the fourth quarter to keep them both fresh.
I hope Ricky gets his touches this year. That said I don't want him getting extended playing time deep into the year because to me that means Ronnie is not healthy. We should be handing the ball off 20 to 30 times a game, with Ronnie getting 15-20 of those carries.
I think Ricky Williams will be the NFL Comeback-Player-of-the-Year. Ricky may have done some dumb stuff off the field but you can never question his effort on the field.
