I believe that these two need to be more a part of the passing game, they are both big enough to block and both are pretty damn good recievers,With them both in the backfield it seems the possibilities are unlimited,I for one hope Saban and Linehan see that these two are a obvious mismatch for most linebackers in the league and start splitting them out more often, I could even see them starting in the backfield and having one split out and another chip block and run a quick out route.Time to use the two best weapons we have right now!
How should ronnie and ricky be used ....

How should they be used? Simple. Get Ronnie the ball as much as possible. Give him 15-20 carries, and about 6 receptions. Ricky can spell him when he's tired.

start ronnie, and only let ricky sniff the ball after:
1) ronnie gets 20 carries
2) ronnie gets tired after ripping a long run
3) a two-back set is used in a play, and ricky is there to block/decoy
4) 3 quarters of heavy dosages of ronnie, and we're sitting on a lead.

i like that, let ronnie get the majority of carries and only put in ricky in for a breather or at the end of the game if we're up.

And if you really want to pound the run at a particular team, go with 10 - 15 for Ricky. But for sure, Ronnie gets the touches first and a good 15 - 20 would be perfect!

that's what he's been doing... it hasn't been working though.... i think we need to just stick with Ronnie and let him produce... switching them up prevents them from getting into a rhythm.Ace88 said:
No one thinks we can use these guys as recieving threats a little more than just screens? I saw RW going down the field like a frieght train and if gus hits him in stride he kills the first guy that touches him ..I think RB is an excellent reciever and we need to use that to losen up the defenses,and not just on screens .. i want to see them in the slot or spilt out.Start with them both in the backfield and keep the defense guessing, by motioning one before the snap.These guys may be two of the BEST recievers we have.

How bout this.....get a dam O-line that blocks....study the KC game and use them like Priest and Johnson......dam im jealous.
these backs need the ball. We need to get back to our short, quick passes. Some outs and screens to these backs will use the momentum of the defensive line against them. What i would really like to see is a play action to ronnie, and ronnie just runs a fly route right up the middle, splitting the two safties. hes got the speed and hands to do it, just needs a qb to give him the opportunity to catch it.
