I Just wanted to give my opinion on the whole Ronnie Brown injury controversey that is talked about so often on this board. I wanted to express my opinion because I just happened to be watching many highlight reels of Ronnies season last year. After watching the highlights of him it amazes me how so many fans are so negative toward him. When the trade rumor came out, alot of people were putting him down due to the concern of his injury and lack of going 16 games. I think it is crazy that people feel this way about Ronnie knowing he was playing at a level we have not seen a Dolphin back play since the early Ricky saga.
I wanted to focus more of this year of Ronnie though. Rickys "pre season success" has put a shadow over Ronnie.Ronnie has had a not so hot pre season. He hasnt had a chance to really show that hes ok knowing he has only had 5 carries all preseason. Ricky has been playing very well to the point where he might be the starter. I will get bashed for this statment but Ronnie should be the starting runningback week 1 vs. New York. Ronnie had a slow start to the season last year. He was slow last preseason as he is this year. Week 1 and 2 he was a little bit average. Then week 3 hit against who...New York. Ronnie tore it up for the rest of the short season.
Ronnie needs to be the starter week 1. He should pick up where he left off from last year and NY is a good place to start especially from what he did to them last year. People are concerned about Ronnies knee. It has been fine and he has had a good recovery. He has been through almost the whole TC and has gotten hits in preseason. I think his knee is fine. His recovery will be much better this year then if he were to have to live with it last year. Ronnie now has a game manager and more importantly a good leader at QB. Chad Pennington doesnt have to rely on the run game the whole game as where Green and Lemon kind of had to. Other players are starting to step up so its not just Brown. Ginn looks like he could be our top reciever because of Pennington. One of the most important things that Ronnie has this year rather than last year is a WAY better offensive line. Last year it was solid but now it could be one of the better in the league. We drafted Jake Long who is a better run blocker, signed Justin Smiley, and Satele is back after a great rookie year to take command. This is a huge upgrade that will help Ronnie. Ronnie had an old problem of dancing in the backfield also. He got rid of it but some are concerned he has shown his old habit in the preseason. Well his old mentor is back to cut the habit. Ronnies run style is so similar to the old running style of Ricky. Its a great thing to watch.
Well I wanted to write this article to try to get a point across and maybe change some opinions of Ronnie. I hoped I did enlighten this board a little bit and shed some positive energy throughout. I hope to see better youtube highlights of this years Ronnie next year during next years pre season to get pumped for the year. Lets go Ronnie but more importantly Lets Go Dolphins. Opinions..................
