is it just me or is ricky alot better then ronnie out of the "I" formation, i always see ronnie gettin stuffed n ricky gainin pretty decent yards.
 
I can't wait to see either back and our o-line against the Pats, but even they realize that we might be better served by going conventional I formation when running the ball as opposed to the wildcat.
 
To be honest, Ricky has been the better running back out of the wildcat altogether IMO... Ronnie is better inthe wildcat though...
 
Ricky has definatly looked faster than Ronnie pretty much all year. I think overall Ronnie has better vision, but Ricky hits the hole harder and faster (that's what she said).
 
To me it looks like Ricky is running with a purpose: To gain yards and punish someone on the way there. Hence the explosion he seems to run with.

With Ronnie it looks just like he's just running, that's it. And I KNOW he can punish people if he wants to, so I don't know why he isn't..
 
I been gettin pretty frustrated though because we all know ronnie get better the more carries he gets and everytime there throwing ricky in there. I just wish they would let ronnie get rolling and he could totally take a game over.
 
I firmly believe ricky is the better back...and I love Ronnie
 
This is not a bash on Ronnie at all, but I have always thought Ricky was a better runner. It wasn't until the game this year with the Colts that I was truly happy with the way Ronnie was running. It was "Ricky-Like". He was a beast for that game and the few after that. They both were. Last week I think Ronnie struggled a little. I think Ricky needs more touches out of the backfield and on some screens. I honestly don't care which one is running the ball as long as they run hard and with a purpose.
 
Bro I love Ronnie to death but truth is that Ricky Williams was a Heisman for a reason.
 
Ricky has always been a North-South runner and the I gives you better lanes straight ahead. Ronnie is one cut runner, watch his style and you see he will almost always make one cut choose a hole and if it isn't there - No Gain.

That is why Ronnie loves the wildcat, he can survey the defense and make his adjustments faster.

AMEN

they are both top 10 backs in this league which is awesome...I am so happy ricky has returned to form and is running as hard as ever...he's so damn fast!

his mix of power and speed is still amazing
 
wondering which one is the better back is a great problem to have.
If you want my opinion, it's always been Ricky... and that's no cut on Ronnie.
 
I like Ricky a little better myself, bur I think Ronnie is becoming a star. Great luxury to have both, I think either would start for all but a handful of teams in the league,
