Everyone thinks Ronnie is injury prone because of the two major injuries he had within the last three seasons. I understand this raises questions about his durability, etc. However, the ACL was a freak thing and can happen to anyone. Look at Will Allen, Pat Cobbs and Greg Camarillo...are they injury prone as well?

Ronnie's Lis Franc injury occured because of the way he was tackled. It is known that this can in fact happen to anyone. It happened to Donald Thomas and also Aaron Schoebel of the Bills.

I honestly believe this is a running back that's just had bad luck. I do feel that he has shown his value to the tri fecta and should and deserves the contract extension he was looking for prior to the season beginning.

All I'm saying is that this guy has what it takes and this offense really fits him well. I truly hope Ronnie stays on the Dolphins for his NFL career. I am a bit biased because he is my favorite player, but I am speaking honestly.
 
Just had some bad luck he's not injury prone. I think we would be insane not to resign him.
 
Being injury-proned IS HAVING BAD LUCK.
 
a few others who sustained this injury, American football players occasionally get this injury, often when they have their foot pointing down and someone lands on their heel. Examples include New England Patriots defensive back Ty Law, who suffered this injury in October, 2004, Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney, whose injury on November 11, 2007 ended his season. Buffalo Bills defensive end Aaron Schobel, whose injury in early 2008 ultimately led to his placement on IR, ending his season.
 
Conditioning related injuries might be pinned on a player, but neither of the injuries Ronnie had were related to him being out of shape. He got tackled in an awkward way twice--against the Pats two years ago and against the Bucs last week. It could have happened to anyone on the field. Or any field for that matter.

Look at the way Cobbs was tackled near the sideline. I knew he was out for the year even before I saw the replay. It was that kind of tackle where the defender pulls you down from behind and rides you to the ground, hanging on the whole time and your foot gets planted with all of his weight draped on you. Not unlike a horse-collar in what it does to your knee, but it's not high-enough on the ball carrier to be a horse-collar. But awful none-the-less. And not Cobbs fault, either.

No I fully disagree. Injury prone means your body is not cut out for your given sport. Some players have a lot of talent but either don't heal as quickly as others or simply get hurt easier then other players. In some cases it could be a player that simply doesn't fine tune his instrument enough and become more prone to injury's, this is why many holdouts become injured after they report.

Having bad luck is just that, you can do everything right and be a physical specimen but have a 350 pound guy land on your leg and end your season. That has nothing to do with being injury prone.

So if we go by your assessment a guy could go 15 years and not miss a game then have two freak injury's in a season (or bad luck) like a blind side sack or leg gets caught under the pile and now he's injury prone?

No. Being injury prone is having a body that is constantly hurt. Brian Westbrook is injury prone. He always has ankle problems, knees problems, back problems, etc... That is injury prone.

Ronnie has really just had bad luck. It's not the most satisfying reason but it's true.


Here's a some what similar analogy: It's like comparing a bad driver who has rear ended 3 people in the past year to another driver who has been rear ended 3 times in the past year. They have both been in the same amount of accidents but the first driver is prone to getting into accidents while the other has just been unlucky.
 
Look the guy is injured in some way almost every season... that means that he is injury prone.

Case F'ing Closed
 
We are probably waiting to see the outcome of the CBA situation to determine whether or not to extend him right now. Without one, he is an RFA.
