Sorry for posting this up... I'm sure it's been rehashed thousands of times here.

What will Ricky's role be when he returns. Most outside of Miami feel that Ricky will assume the #1 role with Ronnie Brown getting a Larry Johnson share of carries. Is that how you guys see it or will it be the other way around. Just curious. I thought he showed up pretty well last week...another game like that could really give him the confidence needed to hold off Ricky from taking his job.

Any comments or thoughts from Saban in this regard?

Thanks and good luck vs the Bills.

I think Ricky will get less carries for a few games till he gets up to speed.
 
If Ronnie can go over 100 with a decent YPC % against a pretty good Bills D, it should be his starting job to lose going forward. I think you play them accordingly in situations. I also want to see a lot of 2 back I formations. That'll give linebackers fits on who to focus on. And if they follow both, look for big plays by Mcmike and Wr is slant routes. But I'm quite sure linehan knows all this. It's just that there aren't many RB tandems as dangerous as these two, especially in the passing game out of the backfield...
 
I really don't care who starts the first series of the game, thier both gonna be lethal:evil:
 
I think Saban has put alot of faith in Ricky. He is see something and is licking his chops. I think he is going to give Ricky a change to prove himself maybe going 60% Ronnie and 40 percent Ricky. Then he will grade them and play who is better, the Saban way. He doesn't care about first round and who is getting paid more. he will play the best player. I think it will be Ricky after a few weeks becasue of his experience - Ronnie is still a rookie and is still learning.

I love the approach of the dual backfield, the one two punch. I just can't wait to see what Saban has in mind. one thing I can say is it is going to be fun...
 
vs. Tampa cadillac is going to be the 2nd best back on the field with the last name Williams:D
 
Ricky Williams will start....

Ricky >> Brown

I don't care how much you guys hype Brown up because he ain't no Ricky Williams.

We'll see both of them on the field at the same time aplenty.
 
I have a feeling Ricky will give a clinic in his first game vs. the Bucs, then have a little slow time for two or three games.

I would like to see Saban Use ricky as a change of pace back for Ronnie. Ronnie is the 1st half RB and Ricky is the second half back, or vice versa.

Could you imagine a 90% fresh ricky or ronnie starting out the 3rd quarter with a defense tired out by the other back.

It's gonna be interesting to see how it all works out, I personally can't wait.
 
Although they will basically split carries, Ricky will be more of the bruiser. 1) It saves wear and tear on Ronnie 2) Ronnie is better with his hands 3) Ricky is a better pure RB. They will both be in lined up in the back quite a bit so defenses won't know who to key on. And when they are both lined up you better believe there will be an 8 man box for D...which puts one on one in the passing game. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ricky in the backfield and Ronnie lined up as a WR or TE here or there.
