Great Article and I totally agree..

awesome article man thanks for putting it on i like what that guy had to say and put a good spin on the events over the last couple of years in the miami organisation good read
 
I'm not mad at ricky...He brought us saban and a new hope. That was worth a "trash" year in my book. But we will miss him when ronnie starts to get a little tired...
 
The problem is no one knows what substance was found to cause the positive test. The source that said it was not pot was his agent.
 
that is stupid...show me where Denver did anything other than inquire about Ricky...Nick would not help an enemy team and take a beating for his efforts by GIVING Ricky away. So what makes anyone think Denver would have antied up a two...which is what "I" think Nick wanted. This "Denver was going to trade" is bullshiit, they stuck their toe in the water only to find Ricky had stepped on his dick.

yea, I read your article a while back, but may differ with you slicely, while I liked the 2 headed monster we had last year, I think williams benefitted from the OL starting to gel the 2nd part of the year, just like Morris got all those yards the 2nd part of the 2004 year when the OL started playing better. So it may very well be that Morris playing behind a better OL can keep the 2nd part of last year going in the 1st part of this season.

That generally comes during TC when I have a feel for who's going to make the team..
 
I guess I must not have written that article very well because so many people are completely missing the point...

No it was well written, but LT and his backups didn't rotate like R & R, so there were some things that didn't correlate well to me, but I got your point.

That was my point...actually...

It's like this. When you have 2 backs equally talented, you get to run the 2-back approach like we did with R&R. The primary benefit of this is CONSISTENCY...for all the reasons I talked about in the article. When one goes cold, chances are the other isn't cold.

But when you have 2 backs and the talent is not equal, you do not run the 2-back approach because all you're doing is taking away carries of the primary RB, and replacing them with inferior carries of the secondary RB. This has the overall effect of limiting the upside WAY more than the downside...because if on any given sunday Ronnie has only a 30% chance of having a bad day, while Sammy Morris has a 50% chance or 60% change of it, then combining their productions means a whole lot more totally cold days than it would if you were combining Ronnie (30%) with Ricky (30%). With Ronnie and Ricky you get like only a 9% chance of a completely cold day. With Ronnie and Sammy, the chance is double that. And then on the upside, let's say that on 50% of days Ronnie is going to have a good day, same with Ricky, but Sammy only 20%...then with Ricky & Ronnie you're going to get a great combined day 25% of the time but with Ronnie and Sammy you're going to get one only 10% of the time.

So basically at that point, why even share their fortunes? Might as well just have Ronnie handle it all, give you a freaking fantastic day 50% of the time, a mediocre day 20% of the time, and a bad day 30% of the time. With unequal talents, a shared system results in limited upside without much downside limiting to outweigh it.

True, I understood your point in the article, it's nice to have the 2 headed monster we had last year, but I also know that a 1 featured back with a power and change of pace back can work too, see Miami 1972-4 teams. Basically that what Pittsburg had last year. In our situation Ronnie and Morris can play the bus, as well as ronnie playing the Parker role, while Minor is a good change of pace...plus we still don't know what Kay Jay brings to the table, while a draft pick or unsigned rookie could be in the mix too. But your point was on point with the known quanity called Williams. But I just don't see it stopping us significately if Campbell and a possible draft pick, plus Culpepper work out. Either way there were still unknowns even if Ricky was here. Our coaching staff just has to get the best out of what we have, and what we have isn't that bad imho.
