I think Ronnie's geared up to have a heck of a season. I hear he's been working his butt off in the offseason and in training camp. I heard one player say he's running "sub 4.4 40s" now ...plenty of speed to go along with his 232 lbs. of solid muscle powering through the line. He's also a heck of a receiver and a good blocker too ... a good multi-talented all purpose back.
If he can work on his "vision" and hit the holes at just the right time, make those sharp cuts and "turn the corner" like Reggie Bush does, he's going to be right up there with LaDainian Tomlinson and Larry Johnson this year. I see him getting at least 1,300 yards rushing and 300-400 more receiving. This is a big year coming up for him. It's really the first time he's been the featured back since he was in high school in Georgia, so I'm sure he's going to try to show everyone what he can do. He reminds me a little of another great running back out of Auburn ... Bo Jackson. That be awesome if we had "the next Bo" in the backfield with our new 3 time Pro-Bowl QB Daunte Culpepper ....it would make a heck of an offense for Madden 2007.
