That is not a very intellegent statement to make. All you did was name the backs that had a better year than Ricky Last year.
Alot of Non-Dolphins Fans think Ricky is "done"

I agree... even if he did carry the ball a lot last year....
I don't think too many teams would turn down a BAD YEAR of 1300+ yards.
1300+ yards and people call him "done"...
PUH LEASE.

That's news to me.
This entire thread was based on a false premise!

Here is the key....
That was what we had last year. Our receiving corpses did not receive - much. And our QB didn't help either. Let's face it, no one, absolutely NO ONE is going to run well against continuosly stacked defenses - Ricky, LaDanian, or Sanders, Jim Brown, or even Csonka, without a dominating OL. That we did not have last year. If the team has an ADEQUATE OL this year, if Boston and Chambers can do anything near what their best years have been, and if Feeley is as good as RS thinks he is -which is a definite upgrade over Fiedler - then RW will not have to carry the team on his shoulder pads, specially if Minor gets some time to give the other team something to think about, and then the team will be better on Offence - and that rest's the Defense and that should lead to an improved season.
If we get some superior help on OL in either the draft or after June 1 - then that ratchets up all of the rest. It gives the QB time to find the best receiver, RW more holes to run through, and a third down defense some real opportunities to break things open.

1 LT is the best back in the league
2 he is a diff style back in that he has more speed, slashing, cut back type abilitie, Ricky is a north south runner.
3 SD receivers 123 were better, not by much but better in the fact that they had 3 to 4 receivers that could stretch the field with Boston, Calwell, Parker and Dwight, altho Caldwell was hurt alot. Hard to stack 8 and 9 in the box against those options and Lt who can cut back on a dime and is fast. plus as bad as brees is was, if they were wide open deep he dint miss as many as we did.people at least respected their ability to beet them over teh top, noone respect that ability w/ us.
4 Dallas had 3 good receivers a decent TE, again the deep ball was at least repected, ours wasnt.
5 Both SD and Dallas o-lines may not been great, but they were better than ours, I saw a few Sd games and never saw LT getting hit as sson as he got the ball like Ricky was.
6 I will say it one more time, Ricky style hurt him because of our offense last year, he is North south runner, we saw in 2002 that ha has moves once he gets going and i in the secondary, but he is not the quick of the get go in the backfield runner that LT is, so to say he is finished becuase he cant do what LT did is ridiculous. Watch what Lt does when he gets a qb and receivers to go along with him. People will be saying Holmes who? LT is a special back that not many can compare with.
As far as Hambrik goes, ask any defense Coord who gives them the most bnightmares between the 2, Ricky or Hamdik? Teams didnt stalk 8 and 9 in teh box every play against Hamdik, he didnt scare any defenses.
