• Ronnie Brown's intelligence has left an impression on coaches. Among the subtle things Brown did in his debut Saturday were a couple of nifty blitz pick-ups ''which rookies a lot of times miss,'' offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said. ``He really showed to me that he's mature beyond his years.''

nice post i agree
 
Thanks that was an interesting read. I also found this to be good news...

One surprise to some Dolphins insiders is veteran safety Lance Schulters' inability to beat out Bell. Schulters admits he was initially ''really lost'' learning Nick Saban's complex scheme. ''I'm not the only one missing things,'' he said. ''Other guys do, too.'' So is the system too complex? ``No, because we have adjustments for anything a team tries to do.''

The reason schulters and some other players are still learning is because our defnse is going to be so complex and so smart that I think we can really shut teams down. I doubt saban would tip his hand in the preseason either, so the best is yet to come. Now lets get a qb!

Definitely some great news to hear. There's no doubt in my mind that Ronnie Brown has the intangibles to be a great player in this league, he's just loaded with so much potential, I hope he able to turn that potential to productivy, consistency, and have some great success and a great long bright future here in Miami. :cooldude:
 
Of course this is from a fantasy footbal perspective article. But you can see the results are the same from NFL productivity perspective. Gives me hope that Ronnie can be a HOF type of back. 5 out of the 7 backs were superstars. Hopefully Ronnie will be the 6th. I think you can argue whether or not KiJana would've been good or not had he not gotten injured. I think most of us knew that Curtis Enis was a bust before he was drafted. No coincidence they were both Penn State.

Jason Wood's Thoughts

Ronnie Brown was the 2nd overall pick in this year's draft, a rare feat for a running back. In fact, the last time a RB was taken 2nd overall was back in 1994 when a ultra-productive runner from San Diego State became the Colts top choice. His name was Marshall Faulk. All too often of late, I've seen people refer to Curtis Enis and Ki-jana Carter as reasons to be wary of high RB draftees. Yet, that's selective memory. Excluding this year's draft class (Brown, Williams and Benson were all top 5 picks), seven (7) RBs have been selected in the top 5 over the last 10 years.


Marshall Faulk, 2nd overall, 1994 -- One of the best running backs of his generation. 7-time Pro Bowler, League MVP and 4th all time in yards and touchdowns
Ki-Jana Carter, 1st overall, 1995 -- Ki-Jana suffered a major knee injury at the start of his career thus making a proper evaluation impossible.
Curtis Enis, 5th overall, 1998 -- Injuries derailed Enis from the start, he only played in nine games as a rookie and was out of the league three years later
Edgerrin James, 4th overall, 1999 -- Led the league in rushing his first two seasons, bounced back from a knee injury with two more spectacular seasons (and counting)
Ricky Williams, 5th overall, 1999 -- Three consecutive top 10 fantasy seasons, four 1,000 yard seasons, led the league in rushing in 2002. Only his penchant for weed has kept him from remaining among the league's elite
Jamal Lewis, 5th overall, 2000 -- Four 1,000 yard seasons (including two 1,300 yard seasons and the vaunted 2,000 yard campaign in 2003) and one of the league's premier power backs
LaDainian Tomlinson, 5th overall, 2001 -- The best offensive player in the league, the consensus top fantasy option this year. Tomlinson has more rushing yards and TDs than any back in NFL history through four seasons

You can say we struck gold if we don't end up paying a Ryan Leaf-esque turd $20 Million.
 
this also was good;
• Defensive end Jason Taylor's ability to play at linebacker has been so impressive that Saban said Tuesday, ''If Jason had played in a 3-4 system somewhere, he would have been a Hall of Fame outside linebacker. . . . He's got . . . great instincts to learn things better than I ever hoped.'' Taylor's response? ``That's about the nicest thing I've ever heard him say.''
