You talk about an "ELEPHANT BACKFIELD"... If RICKY is going to be running a la EARL CAMPBELL through the eye formation....then the guy I want blocking in front of him...is DEON DYER.
I now look at ROB KONRAD...who is in a very precarious situation with regard to NORV's offense. I am not sure what Norv has in store for KONRAD...now that he has RICKY on board. RICKY caught 60 balls out of the backfield last season...and he is sure to get many screens and cirlce patterens from NORV as well. I just don't see RICKY coming out of the game that much...only for a breather here or there.
If NORV is going to feature the power running game...and now..we have it..by golly. Then...I would immediately go ahead and start DEON DYER as the bull-dozing, lead blocker---for RICKY WILLIAMS. Dyer is far more effective than KONRAD in this type of game. You are looking at about almost 700 pounds of running backs back there with WILLIAMS AND DYER.
I don't know if the DOLPHINS may want to hire a personal team hair stylist....or get a poster ready to go....but I personally would like to see this backfield at the start of 2002. Besides all the marketing advantages....this backfield could bring back some nice memories of the first great elephant backfied....that of CSONKA AND KIICK. If we are going to play smash-mouth football....then...this is the way to do it.
