They is NOWAY you can say that Martin and Williams are close. Martin is a way better back then Ricky.
So let's see, Ricky Williams played for the [cynacism]"offensive guru" [/cynacism] that is Mike MNcCarthy and still garnered 1756 yards from scrimmage.
So let's see he had 77 less yards from scrimmage, on 13 less touches than Martin.
You are SO RIGHT, I mean how in the world can anyone imagine that they're in the same class ?? I mean, there is no way that on a better football team with a better defense (to get the ball back more often, and in better field position) and with Norv Turner instead of Mike McCarthy calling plays, that Willliams could pick up 77 more yards a season. You are so right ...
Please run back home before you get hurt.
Martin had 77 more yards from scrimmage, he was .5 ypc better(4.5) rushing , while Williams was 2.5 ypc better recieving (8.5) - and that all just about equals out, and I don't know if you noticed but Martin played on a superior football team, both in talent and coaching.
I'd say that calling the RB match-up a close one is at least informed and intelligent, and while at this point, I think Martin has the edge, the idea that there is a vast gap between the two just shows you as an uniformed homer. Not that your view of the CB situation didn't enlighten me to that already.
A question, did you actually see Donnie A. play last year, or even the year before ?? This guy is as overrated as they come, and has little to no ability in press man coverage, he has benefitted from having a great DL (putting pressure on the QB), and a good set of safeties in deep support - and has still struggled, even in shallow cover 2 support, his tackling once a strength, has gotten sloppy and his 5 int's are proof of his poor play, because he was being thrown at as a NICKEL BACK, he grabbed one against STL, from a deflection, one against CIN, one against CHI (two QB greats, huh) and 2 from Farve (who anually leads the league (or close to it) in INT's ...
WOW ... I'll take a wild stab at it, and say that his 5 INT's are a 3rd of the number of plays over 15 yards that he gave up last season, as a NICKEL BACK.
Run away homer, back to your protective Jet safety net, and your myopia, you're cluttering up my Dolphins news and info with your cancer.
