This has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. First of all, how would you expect the Dolphins to get Duece when it was perfectly clear that the Saints wanted to make him their "star" running back? It was very apparent that they were willing to trade Ricky and not Deuce.
Furthermore, correct me if I am wrong, but the Saints are very well rounded. They have a nice defense, a passing threat, a running threat, and one of the better O-lines in the league. Now, the Dolphins have a great defense, but will get tired from our offense not playing well. Furthermore, our o-line only has a few (if that) good players... and Lucas brings nothing to the table.
Look, it's also apparent that Ricky had three 100+ yard games. I can guarentee that if Fiedler was still playing he would have two or three more, much like Deuce.
Now, I am not knocking Deuce, he's a great running back. But Ricky Williams can get the job done. He does have speed and he is very powerful.
I do not see how anyone can knock Ricky when, in the past three games, he's been playing with eight to nine players in the box.
So, before you knock the man, do some research and more. Stats lie big time (for example, statistically, Lucas had a good game against the Jets, but he played horrible IMO).
Alright, I'm done... if you want to believe that Deuce is a better running back, fine with me. But I will tell you now, and you can hear me later... Ricky is a great running back.
