Ricky tops Ronnie on latest Depth

Very intriguing. I would never have thought Ronnie could be traded, but Parcells just might do it.

I would hope that means he sees things in the future for Parmele or Hilliard, because Ricky has a year or two tops.

Yeah, it is kinda crazy. The new regime definitley is showing that they don't care about the past. they are building the team the way they want it. but i agree. they better have a plan for our running backs, because Ricky can't be trusted. i think Ronnie is a great back, and i don't think they will move him.
 
I think Ronnie should just sit and let his knee heal. I see no reason for Ronnie to hurry back. I love his talent and want to see him on the field, but not so much that I want him to come back too soon. We have more then enough talent at RB, Ronnie should just continue the rehab and make sure he gives the injury his full effort to rehab. I honestly think that would be the best thing for Ronnie and the Dolphins.
 
ronnie was simply a monster last year befor ehe was injured-
he may not be fully healthy-
but Ricky is Ricky-
Ricky Williams version 2 not better than Ricky Williams version 1-

as long as we win, does it matter?
 
This is a no-brainer... Ricky is playin better so Ricky is starting plain and simple...
 
Not too surprising. We're not going anywhere this year, so it's better to let Ronnie sit on the bench and rest his injured knee, while still getting into the game every once in awhile.

Ricky's healthy, Ronnie's not recovered all the way yet...that's pretty much the thinking behind this decision I'd imagine. Plus, Ricky's looked good in preseason, so it's not a loss either way.
 
Please everyone. Think for yourselves before you start mindlessly believing every report or rant put out there.
According to Coach Sparano, Ronnie Brown is not listed as starter because of his thumb injury and has nothing to do with who is better than who. He's also stated that Ronnie won't be traded.

Would you trade RB knowing that all it takes is one issue with Ricky and he's gone for another year? Then you'd be left with?????? So think about it all before responding to ludicrous comments from the media.
 
We didnt need a depth chart to figure this out...

Before someone bites my face off, this is in no way an insult to the OP for sharing this news with us
 
Not sure why this would be news to anyone.

Ricky is healthy and Ronnie is not. Anyone expecting Ronnie to really be ready to start week in week out before mid-season, at the earliest IMO was dreaming. He's coming off of a serious knee injury.

Ricky is the present, Ronnie is the future. But I sure hope the Dolphins sign Ricky to an incentive based contract. A Ronnie and Ricky combo is just a GREAT idea.
 
What is the point of all this? Ronnie's knee isnt 100%, he has a sprained thumb...I wouldnt start him either.
 
I didn't see Vonnie Holliday pulled off the depth chart when he injured his hamstring.

This is probably a significant development, but not THAT significant because no matter what they were always planning on giving both players equal work once the season starts.

The most revealing thing Sparano said was during a press conference maybe last week when he talked about trying to figure out which runner fits what role. He talked about Dallas how they had the guy that starts the game, and then the guy that comes in and gives them a little more energy as the game wears on. Julius Jones was the guy that started but Marion Barber was the guy they used just as much if not a little more.

I've always kind of harped on Ronnie how he seems to start games off slow before he gets a feel for how the game is going. Before last year, Ronnie had been gaining only 3 ypc on his first five carries of the game. But, some people questioned whether that was just purely him not having a feel for the game yet, or the blocking in the first quarter of games. If that's the case, I think Ricky can start games out more quickly because he runs with better vision and instincts right out of the box. Then Ronnie can watch the blocking a little bit, as well as the defense, and jump in.

Thing is, it's not a change of pace. In Dallas, Marion Barber was more prominent than Julius Jones. That could end up being the case here even if Ricky starts and Ronnie Brown is the second guy.
