They both said that Tampa's run D is stout and will corral both Ronnie and Ricky..

Thoughts?

BTW, TD said Ricky would get 40 yards max, Emmit said Ricky would get 35 yards max. Didnt say much about Ronnie.
 
well, people do have to realize that it isn't really ricky and ronnie that they're stopping, its the dolphins offensive line. I believe this will be a dog fight, in the trenches. but whenever our team has to fight in the trenches, bad thing happen. so yeah, i could understand them saying that.
 
Good thing they have their time machine and went to look at the outcome.

We may have actually had to wait till Sunday to see the game!!! :eek:
 
one thing i learned a while back, never listen to the media, the media said the fins and the eagles were going to the super bowl three years ago, what happened? and now they think we suck. when they talk, its just for entertainment purposes.
 
... yeah possibly, but I think our D can contain Caddy too so it's going to be a battle between Griese and Frerotte and well I think I'd rather have Frerotte.
 
i find it highly unlikely especially since it seems they will be used to keep each other fresh, back when ricky was in his prime everyone talked about how he ran better in the fourth quarter and ronnie so far has looked the same way i'm just not seeing these predictions come to fruition

Could happen. Our passing game let us down in the Bills game. The bills played 8/9 guys in the box and dared us to throw on a zero coverage or 1 safety deep coverage and we were unable to exploit that coverage enough.

Until Gus and our WRs consistently beat those coverages, teams will stack the LOS and look to stop our running game, especially now that RW is back.

Personally, I think we will run all over Tampa. I see a 150+ yard rushing game out of our offense.
 
i respect them both, but lets be honest ricky isnt emmitt. he will get more than 35.
 
I don't know about that because Ronnie is one hell of a back and he;s getting better each, plus ricky can still run that ball, if they start shutting Ronnie down,or maybe ricky, then saban can use a pro formation, then what are going to do with ricky and ronnie there. It would now be a guessing game of two dangerous bakc of whose going to get the hand off and which directionthey willo go, if a D is geared for going to the right becuae ricky is the back on the right in pro form and ronnie on the left, then hand the ball to Ronnie and it could throw off the D and get big gains or vice versa,etc. The possibilities :D
 
Well unless Gus starts burning these Ds that are stacking 8 in the box, we're not going to have much of a rushing attack. But I think Ronnie is going to surprise some people with what he does in the passing game in this game.

There nothing to contradict that, and everything to back it up. Bucs are #1 in rush D, with a 61.6 yard/game avg, with no individual RB accounting for more than 59 in a game.

This will be Ricky's first game in more than a year, and Brown is getting roughly 80 a game.

The Dolphin rushing attack is not the Chiefs rushing attack. No one will ever mistake the two. Not now, not by this Sunday.
