Don't believe everything you think.
I put this in another thread but it got no responses....I just want to hear some other peoples thoughts on this....
I'm not sure which one of the Saints guys mentioned this but, whoever it was was right, Ricky is very susceptible to getting tripped up. He can runover anybody but, his stride is so short, and he doesn't bring his knees up high enough so, he ends up getting taken down easily if anybody gets near his feet.
It also looks like he doesn't have the great balance....the ability to keep his feet under him....that seperates the good ones from the great ones.
I like him and he is a top running back and I think he can have a great career, I don't think, at this point that he is going to end up in the same class as Jim Brown or Gale Sayers but I do see him in the same class as a Jerome Bettis or a Franco Harris. (two Steelers....hmmm..strictly coincidence, I swear).
Has anybody else been "just a little" disappointed with RW?
