Oops. I may have read it wrong. Here's the quote:
I assumed that running at full speed was an indication of his having completed rehabilitation.

I definitely see no "risk" in this signing. Just as I see little risk in Ricky returning.
Teammates appreciate hard work and dedication. If both of these guys return in the aftermath of Wanny, I feel the team will give both a fair and equal chance to earn their paycheck.
Say what you want about both, I feel every team needs "purpose". Using last year as a motivational tool, I could see the team welcoming back both players as they seek "closure" to last year.
To some players, I'm sure last year never really "happened". It was so horrible, they've probably forgotten about the injuries, turmoil and losses. I'm sure this season is not necessarily a "rebirth" for many of our vets. Many of our vets don't have time to "rebuild". They need to find immediate resolution to some of the monkeys they have been carrying for some time.
This is why I believe Ricky would be welcomed back by the vets. He DID endure 2 years of Wanny. He did share in Pro Bowl performances that led to nothing. He knows their frustration. They have a bond.
If this team starts winning and continually builds cohesion and purpose, I see something magical possible.
And I have always been a person who has hushed Super Bowl talks. All I am saying is the potential exists for something wonderful, it's left up the players to make it happen.
Phinz Rule!

Good post, I have 1 point of contention though. Ricky's subsequent attitude towards his initial action, in regards to his teamates ie "coworkers" not so much the FO ie "management". He showed no REMORSE (which would have helped a lot) and was flippant about his teamates ligitamate issues about what he did. That attitude shows that he did not have the bond that you speak of at the time of his decision and worse gave no credence to that bond in the aftermath. That being said, the gap can still be bridged it just means that its going to be doubly more difficult...
I can't help it.... But this is everyone's turn to say I TOLD YOU SO to those who said he wasn't coming back here! : )
If he stays healthy, we are going to have a powerhouse of an offense. I keep saying that.... But imagine if Ricky Williams came back too? I Don't see how we could be more potent. It would really make things unfair, because seldom do you have players of that caliber on a team all under the salary cap. The only reason they would be here is because they are the "problematic" type.

Man oh man, can you imagine how potent our offense could be this fall?!! Miles, no lightyears better than last year!!!
QB: AJ Feeley (Trust me, he'll be good this year)
RB: Ronnie Brown/Ricky Williams (What a combo in the backfield)
WR: Chris Chambers, Marty Booker, David Boston
TE: Randy McMichael
OC: Matt Linehan
It may take a few weeks to all come together, but by Week 8 look for us to be shocking some teams with our offense.
By the way, if Ricky does come back and our offense gels quickly, we will be in the playoffs this season, book it!

Hakim has injury problems as well. I may be wrong but I don't believe he has ever played a complete season. Face it we gambled with Boston. But at least it was with a guy that could pay off big. Hakim you know what you get. He is never going to take over a game or be a go to guy. I like it, just pray it works.
My prediction is this time next year we are going to have a dilema about how to extend the Dbo contract
Anytime you can get a guy that is a potential Pro Bowler for next to nothing its a good investment. I know Boston has struggle with many issues, but he is young and perhaps he can maturer and heal up.Nublar7 said:
My biggest concern with him is how his body will respond to being off the juice. Guys tend to fall apart when they go off of steroids and continue to play.
He will be great for us in that he's good enough to play in the slot, or outside so that Chambers can play the slot. I'm excited. The Offense just got better.
I bet we see ALOT of 3 WR sets this year.

Since march it's been clear
In many threads and NFL forums it's been clear that Nick Saban is smart and is trying to bring TALENT into his Miami Dolphins.
First he started by cutting off many players that won't fit his system, people like Fieldler or Konrad with no real improvement in many years.
Boston was slaped in the face, and was forced to recover his skills (both mental and physical), so now he's running like Saban needs and surely will be lethal as 3th WR.
Nick lurked everywhere to recover as many picks in the draft as he could, this way [size=-1]Patrick Surtain was traded to KC and we obtain 2nd round and some cap.
[/size]Depth at RB is obviously important and with Ronnie Brown and the biggest draft's steal K.J. Harris there's a hell of running power.
Coach Saban seeks long term value and will recover another key member: Ricky Williams. This herb-ivorous will be blamed for last season results, but take a look at that time's depth chart and you'll find no real weapon to have more than a 7-9 season with him aboard. The real RW's fault was to be yellow when was tested positive and fly away with just a week before camps and most of his fears were unhandled by DW.
This kid need a hard hand like Saban's to recover the way and with many problems around, he's in a win-win situation. Miami will win if RW recovers physical and mental health to do 1000 + yards. This way he may be traded or be included to build a monster offense.
We don't need Ricky to come back, we need his talent in order to improve the team.
