He's been a total Bust here in T.O, attendance is way down, and the fans are pissed...The CFL is a passing league,(only 3 downs) and he never really fit in.Maybe with more time it would have worked better.

Of course it's quieter. The media have no stories to pounce on. They had the Taylor marriage upheaval but that dissipated rather quickly.

Wha??? He played what, 1 game before getting injured? I think its a little harsh to say he was a bust. He got hurt. I can't see how having Ricky, especially when he was healthy would have hurt att. I would venture it had little to do with him.

Vick has garned some of the attention Ricky had but never so much.

 

[ojmcduffy]

the press has even seemingly forgot about manatee wright and his im broke and coach saban scares the crap out of me depression story

Yeah, the media doesn't have a "go to guy" to harrass this preseason.

The Examiner | Ricky Williams

"There's not all the hoopla," tight end Randy McMichael said. "You can play football and not worry about a lot of media distraction. But we miss Ricky. Everybody enjoyed having Ricky around. We can't wait for him to get back.

Humm!

He will help us next year but i don't like that Ricky thing with the players. The offense look like they are in need of him and that sounds pathetic(no offense). The defense sound like we should sound, we don't miss the questioning of Ricky. The offense better star to put there heads were it needs to be and that's in wining games(a lot of them).GO DOLPHINS!!:mad: :dolphins:

Ps. good read though

i miss ricky he still my favorite player theres always been something intersting about him that u cant quite put your finger on

I think it is remarkable to read the quotes from the players in there and contrast those from during his 2004 suspension. We knew his work ethic was tremendous when he came back, but he must have also really reached out to his teammates because it sure sounds like he has that locker room on his side now.

The players know that he IS the best RB the Dolphins have ever had!!!!! He is an all world/all time talent that got side tracked. I will go on a limb and say that had he been on a quality team from the get go(no bum coach telling him to play heavier than he ever had-Haslet)like Miami, he would be a HOF rb. No doubt he has that kind of talent.

I have always liked him and I like him more for showing Wanny the door!!!! Forever in debt to 34 for that alone!!!!!!!!!
