Ronnie's Running Style

[Fin-Loco]

I decided to watch a Dolphins game sober for once and was surprised by what I saw.

There is something about Ronnies running style. He always looks like he is one step from falling down. Is it me, or does he look very clumsy running the ball?

I know it's just his second game. His style will obviously get better in time.

Man you picked a bad game to watch sober. I think we could have 22 All-Pros on our team and still lose to the Jets in the Meadowlands.

It's hard to make any decisions about Ronnie's running style so far. Missing training camp hurt him a lot and I think he's very confused right now. He looks like a rookie.

When Ricky gets back and there is less pressure on Ronnie, (I'd like to see him more as a receiver with Ricky in the game) he may start to run with confidence. It's going to take a few games though.

I think he looks extremely tentative. and that appearance makes him look like that when he runs

he is not ready for the speed of the pro game. he needs time.

His style is single cut power running (he also has that spin for the second level) he hasnt decided to do that yet he is dancing a little to much and not slamming the holes that are there...It will come dont worry.

 

[Fin-Loco]

I'm not worried about his future. Currently he does seem a bit lost in the offense. He needs to get on track though soon.

I also think he runs a bit too high to the ground or straight up...I think he needs to get down a bit more and hit whatever hole there is much quicker and harder...he is a bit tentative at this point.

I really can't wait to get Ricky back...even if its just to push this rookie and school him a bit. Ronnie's gonna be special...give him time.

It's his second game he doesn't have a style yet. But yes I agree he has a single cut power running style.
Linehan needs to use him like the Jets use Martin and have designed cut backs so the defense over pursues and then Ronnie can use his speed and power to hit the off balanced defenders.

By the end of the season the Jet fans and org. will be green with envy (no pun intended) over Ronnie.

If he's as smart as people have said then I bet the first time he get wacked for running too high he will learn to stay low.
And I'm sure the coaches will work with him on it. We shall see.
