This is not pro Ronnie or con Ronnie, please read.
I'm not a big Ronnie fan but it I think it makes long term sense for the Dolphins to start looking at what they have in Ronnie being it is a contract year. How many of us can honestly say what quality a RB Ronnie is? I can't for one...he looks great one week and blows chunks the next two weeks. It is true they don't give him the ball like one would expect a "feature" back to get but it is also true he starts to slow and the run all to often has to be abandoned because it's lack of production has caused the team to fall behind.
I have been a critic of Ronnie but even with that expected big things from him this year. I was taken back a little by the performance last Sunday when I was expecting the Dolphins staff to lean on Ronnie more but was disappointed to see the same old story we have seen every other year. At a quick glance 34 RB's had more carries than Ronnie and I'm sure if you figured "touches" the number would be triple that number, to me that's somewhat irresponsible or even incompetent by the Coaching staff if they do in fact consider Ronnie the offensive bell cow like we are led to believe.
The Colts aren't a good run defense team and the Dolphins are at home on the big stage of Monday night so Ronnie should have plenty of things going for him.
If Ronnie can't prove more reliable than years passed in a featured role IMO the Dolphins need to go another direction. I'm not saying let him go but draft another guy to be the featured back. But that's just my opinion on the matter.
