Hye guys lets not forget Ronnie did that all last year with Carnell Williams he is used to sharing teh spotlight and that is always great to have a player who cares more about the team than himself. Look for him to get from 700 to even 1000 this year. The AFC East wont know what hit em! :evil:
That only puts us at 1200 rushing yards. Last year our team combined for over 1300 rushing yards (believe it or not) The line will be improved. And Ricky will still have 12 games to play in. Only 400 yards has him averaging 33 yards a game. He should do a little better than that and I would put Ricky around 500 yards with Ronnie around 900...
all depends on the schemes saban draws up for the RB Tandem and how Ronnie adjusts to NFL speed and defenses. But imo, I think ricky and brown will both be around the 700-850 mark by the end of the year if both stay healthy both focus on football.
First 4 games I say he averages 100 a game (400 yards). Then splitting carries with Ricky about 65 yards a game (780 yards). I think combined with Ricky, we'll be close to 2000 yards rushing for the year.
Honestly that wouldn't be a stretch; Ricky believe it or not is the better RB of the two. Whether you're analyzing Ricky now (now meaning when he weighs in normally at 225 or 235) or when he was drafted. Ronnie is a great talent but picking him at number 2, is a curse in itself and ultimately may put his career in the gray area in terms of production. A #2 RB (RB being the easiest position to translate from college to pros, however little their ease may be) should be lights out. Listen this kid is probably going to get at least $15 million in guaranteed money, because of the money A. Smith got, $24 million guaranteed. The Edge, Shaun A., L.T. can't get that type of money. This kid, bump being gold, he has to be a canary diamond to justify that money and his selection. The Dolphins gotta demand 1200 from him at least, but I really like Ricky’s chances of unseating him, come Game 7 or 8.
Look for Gordonto infringe onRonnie's production early (remember all the draft comparisons people made about the two) Games 1-4. And look for Ricky to first gain weight over the “extended break†and eventually take over for Ronnie between Games 7 or 8.
Ricky 1200-1300
Ronnie 700-900
Lamar* 500
·*if he’s with the team. I say this because even if the Dolphins want to trade Ricky they won't have enough time to showcase him before the deadline. Rather than get scraps for him, trade the extra back that has some value. Look at Jacksonville or Philly as possible spots.
If you don’t know, now you know this team will run the heck out of their line and RB’s.
I think when it comes to Ronnie Brown this year, his contribution as a receiver may well equal his rushing totals. Saban stressed Ronnie's versatility when picking him in the draft. I'm hoping (optimistically) for 600-800 yards receiving and somewhere between 800-1200 rushing, depending on all the offensive line/ricky issues:)
Going on record that we have about 2300 yards rushing combined. Whether Ronnie Ricky or Lamar are getting the yards lets take this season by storm. Lets not worry about who will suceed in RB. But that they all we suceed and when one is having a bad game the others will step up.
