I like that you guys are a bunch of homers. It gives me something to laugh at everytime I come here.
Ricky getting 2000 yards
- Thread starter Can we win a SB
- Start date
I meant what I said about 2,000 yard rushers, Rude. It is a great accomplishment, but it is not impossible. When OJ Simpson did it the first time it was preposterous to even dream about it. The fact that it was done with a 14 game season (I think) made it all the more mythic. It has been done since, however infrequently, and each time it is done it seems just a little less superhuman. I don't ever envision it becoming as commonplace as 1,000 yard rushers.
If Ricky Williams does it (or any other RB in 2003) he deserves all kinds of kudos, but it is still in a different class than Miami's undefeated season because that is still unique. Until or unless it happens again there remains some doubt that it can happen again. There is no doubt that however rare, another 2,000 yard season will happen again.

A couple points I am surprised nobody brought up yet. For the first 10 games last year Ricky did not play on 3rd or in the 2 minute drills. It wasn't till the last 6 games did he start playing every down and that is when the 200 yard games came. Now Wanny is saying Ricky will not be coming out of the game unless he is tired. And on top of that Ricky is said to be faster and stronger this year. Those last 6 games he ran for 940 yards.. now I know it is not accurate but if you span the average of those 6 games over a season that would be about 2500 yards. Now I am not saying that he will get that.. but considering all these things it is very possible for him to break 2000.

It's just some fun smack. Don't let it get under your skin like Muck did (I bet we'll be seeing that line in one of his posts).

Ricky is much more of a powerhouse than Priest. Priest has a long season ahead of him in which he won't accomplish much. The last two years were a dream for him. Ricky will be around for a looooooong time.

FWIW -- is it likely ?? Hell no.
Is it possible, or plausible ? Hell yes. Things went poorly for RW for much of last year, and he was a paltry sum away.
Leave him in the Detriot stinker, add him to all of the third down and two minute situations, and have a competant NFL back-up instead of Lucas and I'd guess that he could've averaged 10 yards a game more ????
Let me say that again ...
Just 10 more yards a game.
Let's look at the bottom run d's in the league on th eschedule this year ...
With Houston - New England (x 2) - Washington - Buffalo (x2) (even a huge improvement puts you in the middle of the pack from 2nd to last in the AFC (behind only New England) - Jax - Jets (x2) and Dallas -- you have 10 of his 16 games --
How many of last year's top 10 Run D's ?? Only Tenn. and Philly.
Sorry --- seems like a plausible discussion to me.
I'm not saying he will, but to say that only a homer could post something like that is wearing blinders (or being a Donkey fan.).
You can't find a board on the net that isn't excited and seeing improvement --- and seeing a 10 ypg improvement from Ricky Williams is not Earth-shatteringly homerific. BengalsFan thinks they're Bowl bound.
DonkeyFan how many posts reflect the fact that Shanahan is going to make Plummer an accurate QB and that he just needed talent around him (*cough Boston*cough*Sanders*lame excuse*) and that he'll stop the INT streaks ??
Which fan base is homerific --- the ones that think RW could get 10 more Ypg than last year, or the ones that think Plummer can break a trend he's had siunce high school, and that the tough weather conditions won't be hard for him with his lack of velocity, and upturned spiral ??

This was my point to Tatonka, I couldn't get in the 16-0 thread, too many variables, but this I also think is plausible. Thanks for the extra anaylsis on the upcoming teams this year.
