[16wins4fins]

i say go for broke and get this guy in a fins uniformasap.i know he will stay a colt this year but next year he is a fin just by his actions alone.he wants to come home and win one for his home team.i say take anyone that the colts have drafted.they do their homework.lok at manning and leaf .what a job they did .the chargers are still spending first round picks to try and make up for that fu**up.then the whole rwilliams or james do you remember how pissed fans were in indy when the fo choose james instead of ricky.dam their lineup would be as so right know at qb well not leaf at rb well not ricky .boy did they ever dodge the bullet.to bad we never had a pick so soon in the draft to have the luxuary of the colts.but then again how many superbowls do they have since manning and james entered indy.the same as miami has :cooldude: :cooldude::goof: :cooldude: :cooldude: wich one dont belong?

Lets see how he can finally get back to form this year.

Edge is high on the list, but for next year. You know he wants to come.

 

[16wins4fins]

the colts would have to pay him some serious green for him not to come to miami by the way who is older ricky or edge?

 

[DolphinDevil28]

Same age.

 

[RUDEbyallMEANS]

I think Edge is one year younger

I dont think the Colts can afford to throw a lot of money at the Edge because of Manning and the need to sign Harrison soon. I think they will let him go, and hopefully he is headed back home to Miami. I dont want to have a bad season by any means, but can you imagine if we got Edge and had a top 5 pick next year. With AJ having a year in the system the WR's hopefully locked up, adding the Edge and a top 5 pick we could easily be a Super Bowl contender after picking in the top 5.

I agree. If he's back to where he was b4 the injury, we will have something to celebrate next year.

The dolphins should throw EJAMES a big b-day party in Miami tomorrow. Get him crunk with all his buddies and then let him come on home next year to a team with open arms.

Just keep the celebratory substances confined to alcohol. Wouldn't want him failing any tests.:)

Edgerrin James has outperformed Ricky through 5 years if you look closely to the numbers. Ricky has averaged less than 4 yards per carry 2 years out of 5. Edgerrin has averaged less than 4 yards per carry 1 out of 5 years.

Edgerrin James, though, has only played a full season 2 years out of his 5 year career. Ricky played every game his last 3 seasons while having injury problems his first 2. Not exactly sure if Edgerrin could carry the load like Ricky has for the last 2 years without getting injured. That is the main concern concerning the drop-off between Ricky and the next potential RB, which looks to be Edgerrin in 2005.

Playing in 5 less games, Edgerrin blows Ricky out of the water in runs over 20 yards and does so in First downs as well still leads Ricky in TD's by 1 with 5 less games.. This could be attributed to Edgerrin having Manning and Harrison as well as a team that focuses heavily on its offensive prowess rather than having a dominant defense.

One thing that concerns me with Edgerrin possibly returning to his home in Miami would be his injury history with this run-oriented offense. This offense was built around Ricky's affect on opponents, meaning 8-9 men in the box with Chambers/Boston going deep to exploit it. I don't know that Edgerrin brings that same presence, but he's without a doubt a Top 10 RB that can produce.

 

[Jedburg]

Hopefully by the time Edge gets here, the offense will have opened up some. Either By Wanny or the next coach.

I think there could be injury problems (to Edge) with the offense that Wanny runs now. The workload needs to be spread around. Even if Ricky were still with us I think the offense needs to REALLY be diversified.

 

[16wins4fins]

hey rudebyall whats their fumble stats like ?

 

[iceblizzard69]

I wonder what our cap situation looks like for next year. If we extend Chambers and sign Ogunleye long term, I would think that there would not be a lot of money for us to spend next year. I know Edge wants to come here but if we can't pay him I think his interest would go down.
