The 12th Man
Am I the only one noticing that Smokey Williams is already changing his story and now taking shots at the organization? Maybe I'm just reading too much into it or making it up, but here's what i've gathered...or whats running through my mind anyway-
Ok when the story first broke it was all about Ricky's happiness and his "quest for truth", whatever the h*ll that is, saying he had bought a one-way ticket to Asia and didn't know if he would ever return. Now not even a week later he is already back in the states and talking with his new little writer buddy. Seems now that the reason he's leaving is that he was tired of being the workhorse and that's what made him unhappy. Well if I'm not mistaken, didn't we spend most of the off-season revamping the O-Line and landing a potential stud WR to take some of the load off Williams? What I'm getting from this is that rather than let the orgainization know he was unhappy, he just decided to take his ball and go home. Nice move Ricky, very manly and classy.
I applaud Seth McKinny for standing up and calling Ricky a quitter, because that's exactly what he is. Set that T-Sip (longhorn) in his place Ag(Aggie)!
All the other Miami Dolphin players are thinking it and without taking too much of a shot at them, they should get some KaHonas and say it. Whether you're good friends with Ricky or just an aquantance, the fact is that as a teammate Ricky Williams left you high and dry this season. For him to say that this might be the best for the organization because it will give Minor a chance to show what he's got is complete and utter BS and he knows it. He knows good and d*mn well that he's is a 100x better than Minor and for him to throw that comment out there comes across as a cheap shot to me.
But with these comments I can also see himself moving into a position to ask for more money. With the FO now moving to ask for more than 8 million of Ricky's money back, I think it may be setting in on what he is going to be giving up. Jim Brown even made comments about Ricky's contract and him being unhappy with it. Well if that was the case Ricky, then you should have just said that.
However I do think that the more Ricky keeps talking to the media and telling us how he's not coming back, the more it is likely that he is coming back. If it was really about "finding himself" then he wouldn't be back in the states talking to the media some more. Remember "he doesn't owe us anything"; if thats true Ricky then just go, you can fax in your retirement papers. Why are you still talking with the media if your mind is made up? Let me answer that...because it isn't. You made a hasty decision and now are regretting it. Now you've got to speak out somemore and take shots at the organization to try and make yourself look like the good guy in all of this. Well it's gonna take a lot more than that to get Miami back on your side. You had it all Ricky, you were the Miami Dolphins. If you want it back (and I think you do) man up to your mistake...
Maybe I'm just rambling on here and maybe i'm the one full of BS and maybe i'm just thinking wishfully but those are some of the millions of thought about the Williams situation. Take them as you will...
